Study Skills for Life

This has helped my children sooo much. They almost one for one say please show this to _____!

Love It! Love It! Love It!

I got the book, and it was not exactly what I expected (It had more illustrations than I thought it would). The content was phenomenal though. It will continue to help me tremendously with my teaching and tutoring. I know understand why students get stuck and frustrated and even if I am not able to convince them of the reasons for their frustrations I am able to help them through them using the techniques found in this book. It is an excellent resource for educators and parents!

This is great for anyone having reading difficulties!

I helped my son and an adult get through the course that is included in this book. They had wonderful results!The adult was a guy who went through the public school system - 20 years in the workforce - but just felt his literacy level wasn't what it should be. He had never really learned the simplest grammar rules, and was confused about a lot of what he read.When my son did this course, he was 9 years old. It was great for both people. The steps are laid out clearly - without all the "confusion" usually found in grammar instruction.I always did very well in English classes, and always earned an "A" in English on my report cards - I read a great deal, too. But even I learned a lot from this course!It's just so simple, anyone with a 4th grade reading level can do it. But it doesn't "talk down" to the student, so it's appropriate for adults, too.The pictures are fun, and the cartoonist who drew them was a Disney cartoonist! The pages are nice and big, too. The hardback version is very nicely bound and can both it and the paperback can put up with a bit of abuse. (I have six kids, this is important to me!)Highly recommended for any parent, teacher or tutor. Or anyone who knows someone whose literacy level could use a gentle but effective boost!(I do recommend the "Learning How to Learn" book or the "Study Skills for Life" book be studied first.)You can email me for further info: (e-mail address)

Wonderful book

I purchased this book for my daughter who was having trouble in school. This wonderful book taught both of us how to study. Not only has she made dramatic improvements, but I've been using the techniques as well and have found it to work for me.

Or, "How to combat the public education system..."

Are you one of those people, or do you know people who went to school but didn't come out knowing much? Do you know people who can't read and write, who studied subjects but now refuse to have anything to do with those subjects? This book means what it says. You get study skills for life so you can tackle any subject and come out the winner. What are the "Three barriers to study"?
