5.0 out of 5 stars Lesson Plans and more, September 15, 2001

By A Customer

I found this book by finding a lesson plan from it listed in the Gateway to Educational Materials which is sponsored by ERIC. That is a huge educational site operated by the US Dept of Ed.
The lesson plan referred to the book which contains other great plans and hands on activities for helping kids develop motivation and memory skills. I improved some of my own memory skills from some of the ideas in this book and some of the references the author lists in the book. It also has a great story and cute song (with musical notation) that helps with motivation.

One lesson plan gives memory cues for remembering left from right. Another gives memory cues for correcting digit reversals.
Another gives help with improving vocabulary and spelling, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars learning strategies are a big help, February 27, 2002

By A Customer

Someone told me about this book and how it teaches kids learning strategies. It does it with a story to get their interest. I've been using the ideas in this book and they are a big help. It can help any kid but especially one with LD. The writer has a website with free stuff that helps a lot too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable, October 4, 1999

By A Customer

The book and puppets are just adorable. It's a clever idea to introduce learning how to learn with an adorable story and puppet then to have specific suggestions like discussion questions with suggested answers, activities, lesson plans, and references. I really like this.
