5.0 out of 5 stars Great for teachers!, October 18, 2005

This review is from: Hunter and His Amazing RemoteControl: A Fun, Hands-On Way to Teach Self-Control to ADD/ADHD Children (Paperback)

This book is written with 3rd and 4th grade classes in mind as the audience. I am using it with a third grade class. We are doing 1 lesson per week. It is GREAT! The activities are very engaging and really drive the point home. Kids can relate to the idea of using a remote control, so it is motivating for them to think of using it on themselves. The cues are great ideas for teachers to use instead of always saying the same things to kids who aren't paying attention. The activities are easy to create and don't take a lot of extra time or preparation. All kids can relate to Hunter, both those with ADHD and those without! After all, don't we all need a little help to pay attention from time to time!

This review is from: Hunter and His Amazing RemoteControl: A Fun, Hands-On Way to Teach Self-Control to ADD/ADHD Children (Paperback)

I am a special education teacher and have used this with my second and third grade students, many of whom have ADHD, for years. They really identify with Hunter, and the story in a way that is easy for kids to understand but not too babyish or cheesy. We make our own remotes, do games and activities and even write essays about the buttons we want to add that are particular to each kid. Some of my kids use the language from this book for years after learning it, and even have a "remote" at home. This is really the best program of this sort that I've seen, definitely worth getting if you have a child or student who struggles with ADHD or impulse control.

Great program for ADHD. However, you need to do the whole program, as it is laid out in the book. Its not the kind of thing you can take one worksheet out of and have it make sense...the introductory stuff is important. But I think it could work really well with ADHD kids...I am going to try it this summer in my kids group. Reccomended.
