Life Saver,

This review is from: Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills To Students with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Special Needs, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
I bought this book to assist in my Learning Strategies Class. I was supposed to teach study skills to high school students with LD, but of course was given no materials to work with. The students enjoyed the activities. I do not think that I could have survived without this.

Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills to Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, or Special Needs,

This review is from: Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills To Students with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Special Needs, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
As a special education teacher I purchased this book because the title addressed the needs of the students I teach in a study skills class. However, the format of the book doesn't offer much in the way of copying many chapters or sections to teach to the students. Some chapters are user friendly, others are of no use the way they are formatted. Great title and table of contents but it is not very user friendly for teaching.
I also haven't been able to figure out the use of the CD that comes with it. Overall, for the price, I am disappointed.

This review is from: Teaching Learning Strategies and Study Skills To Students with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Special Needs, 3rd Edition (Paperback)
These are good study strategies, whether a student has special learning needs or not. And with the ability to photocopy, this is a valuable resource that more than pays for itsself!
