How to Double Your Child's Grades in School: Build Brilliance and Leadership in Your Child--From Kindergarten to College--In Just 5 Minutes Per Day

By Eugene M. Schwartz

Book Overview

A classic bestseller. Does your child dread test days? Procrastinate over doing homework? Hate going to school-and perhaps even feel he's stupid for not catching on in class? It takes just minutes a day to improve a child's grades--and self-esteem--by leaps and bounds and give him or her a brighter future. Designed to maximize the potential of students in kindergarten through college, these time-tested, proven methods will turn B's into A's, C's into B's, and provide D students with dramatic improvements. The wonderfully simple techniques focus on three crucial areas of study: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Easy-to-follow lessons suggest ways to organize your child's study time, make mathematics fun, and help children express themselves clearly in writing. Try the tips for transforming kids into master readers in three steps, and give him or her the word power to understand new vocabulary without consulting a dictionary. There are even test-taking strategies and ways to overcome some of the problems associated with Attention Deficit Disorder.

It works

It's a shame that this book is no longer in print because, to put it simply, these methods work. If you have children in school, you can and will help them improve their grades if you apply these methods.

How To Double Your Child's Grades in School

If I only had this book for myself, even as late as college! I bought my first copy in 76 and used it for my two younger children. Now I am recommending the updated version to both my children, for my grandchildren, and to the parents of my third grade students. If you never buy another book on parenting and child care be sure to get this one! IT WORKS! Thank you Mr. Schwartz.

the best in the same category

bring up children's grades cannot be done overnight, that is for sure. And this book emphasize that. and the most reliable method is consistency. there are plenty of practical examples of how to help with your child's work, instead of just pure theory. i found this book very helpful.
