It's easy to say to do well in school, but actually doing it proves much more difficult. See it. Say It. Do It.: The Parent's & Teacher's Action Guide to Creating Successful Students & Confident Kids ; is a guide to helping students really gain a more consistent performance in school when they seem generally smart, bright students who just seem to shut down during school hours. Anxiety, confidence issues, fear are issues discussed so gifted children can use their gift, be it in academics or sports. See It. Say It. Do It! ; is a fine read well worth considering for parents and teachers who don't want to see potential wasted. --Midwest Book Review - Vol 9

This is a beautifully written and remarkably useful book! See It. Say It. Do It! Dr. Hellerstein's work has been life-changing for hundreds of child I have referred to her over the last 25 years. Non-readers became avid readers; resistant writers embraced writing passionately; children who could not spell became competent spellers; and uncoordinated children became athletes. The key to their success was visualization.

Scientists, mathematicians, and artists have long recognized the power of visualization in making new discoveries and creating great works of art. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein clearly explains how visualization can bring out a child's creativity and improve performance in school, in sports and in life. The book is a must-read for parents and educators.

Dr. Hellerstein's considerable experience in using visualization to enhance the visual process as an optometric practitioner is the basis of this book. She provides her model of visualization and the means to implement it to foster success in school, athletics and other real life situations. This is done in a clearly written and well organized manner. Her target audience is parents and teachers. However, the contents of this book should be of significant value to other professionals who seek to improve the quality of life of their patients. These include optometrists, psychologists, physical and occupational therapists.

As a Developmental Optometrist, I recommend this book to parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to improve their ability & increase their abilities to better visualize, enjoy reading, work, sports and life. I often hear the frustration of students, parents and teachers as they struggle together to make learning happen. See It, Say It, Do It!, is a great tool to help children and adults learn to use visualization. It can help to turn struggling readers into great readers, by helping to form distinct and striking mental images and increasing more details of the latest novel being read, by helping to create a "mental movie." This is an easy to read book describing how vision affects so much of what we do. Increasing the visual skills and abilities used to "visualize," can improve the lives of all of us, especially people with brain injury, ADHD, autism, movement, balance, and developmental delays. This book gives gives proven methods of improving those skills in vision therapy. A wonderful resource for educators, parents and professionals alike and a great addition to your library.

Dr. Hellerstein has created a remarkable resource for all teachers and therapists. I use the techniques and strategies outlined in "See it. Say it. Do it!" to help my students to visualize and achieve their goals. In addition, I use the step by step activities designed to improve spelling, reading and math skills with my students daily. If you work with students who are struggling, or you just want to help a child (or yourself) reach you goals more easily, this is the book for you!
