A Disappointment.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: So-- What's a Tutor to Do? (Paperback)
My chief problem with this book is how the author seems obsessed with protecting the child's self-esteem from failure and "peer review." Self-esteem is her destination, not literacy. Roller, if youre reading this, the kid already knows he's a loser-frog, and his peers merely confirm his beliefs. As if the need for a tutor doesnt get the idea across with a bull-horn and searchlights. Competence takes care of self-esteem. Teach a kid how to spell the 50 most common words, and his problem is half-whupped. Increase his vocabulary to the 3000 most common words, and he's good to go 98 to 99 percent of the time....for life. It's that simple.
