Customer Reviews

An accurate title5
The title sums up this 193 page book well. It is clear that the teacher-author speaks from experience. I'm glad there is now a revised and updated edition. Parents of regular and special education students in elementary grades benefit from Schumm's skill in showing how to enhance learning abilities in children.


How To Help Your Child With Homework: The Complete Guide To Encouraging Good Study Habits And Ending The Homework Wars5
This is a very good reference, that I will use as a classroom teacher. There are a lot of very good suggestions that I can give to parents and/or guardians.

Not what I was expecting3
While this book is a good resource for parents, it was not what I was expecting. There is only one chapter dedicated to "trouble shooting" and speaking to parents having difficulties working with their children.
