A Good Book
Very good book for it's intended audience. I wished I had such a book or been provided the information in the book before I started junior high school rather than having to learn through experience or trial and error.

Practical strategies, fun to read
This is a superb, very short book packed with practical ideas.I have used it as a class advisor to 9th graders, and for some of them it has really been a lifeboat off of the Titanic. Some were great students in middle school, but are having trouble adjusting to the expectations of high school. Others have a great work ethic, but they don't know how to budget their time or know when they really, truly know something cold. Still others believe that "studying" means planning to sit for 10 continuous hours on the night before a big test.Learning how to learn -- at any age -- is a challenge. There is no "one size fits all" strategy. But it can be especially awful for students who want to do well and feel they can't, no matter how hard they try. And it can be especially awful to be a caring adult in the life of such a student: sometimes you feel almost as helpless as they do.Sound familiar? Get this book. Grossberg writes like that "dream tutor" everyone is looking for: she's fun, direct...and right. The advice is good, and she presents it in a way that isn't preachy or abstract. It's like getting advice from your hip neighbor who just happens to be a learning specialist. As you read it, you may feel as if she wrote it for your particular child. There are a lot of "how did you know THAT?!" moments.Great for all students, middle and high school, for educators and parents.

Students find it helpful!
I work with several students who have found Dr. Grossberg's handy, upbeat guide very helpful. I highly recommend it for high school and even college students.
