Great Source for Review

It has been more than twenty years since I have been in school. Although I read a ton of books every year, this book helped me remember many of the good habits that I had forgotten and I also learned a few new ones that have been helpful in my new classes.

Excellent

I read this book and I love it. I read many different books on how to read/study...however, no one gave specifics about how to handle a chapter in the book (paragraph by paragraph). If you want to "comprehend" a chapter or paragraph in a book, follow this author technique...I am sure you will then know "how/why" of the subject matter.

Right Tone and The Right Touch in Teaching Today?s Student

This is a wonderful update of the William H. Armstrong Study is Hard Work classic. It does not preach but reaches those who need it the most--the marginal or poor student. For those who are good students, it reaffirms that they are on the right track and may even add a point or two worth considering. Overall, I recommend this book because it speaks to today's youth in a manner that is encouraging, not condescending.
