Customer Reviews

Great book by a great teacher
Mr Peltz is a rare gem. He was a science teacher, and he kept his students interested in a subject that a lot of kids hate. His classes were always creative just like him. Any advice he has to offer - take it! He's the best in what he does.

Comes from an experienced teacher and study skills coach
William H. Peltz's DEAR TEACHER: EXPERT ADVICE FOR EFFECTIVE STUDY SKILLS is a top pick for both middle/high school and college-level reference libraries catering to students who want to learn how to study more effectively. It comes from an experienced teacher and study skills coach who demonstrates basic studying techniques, offers an easy 'Dear Abby' question and answer format which lends to browsing, and teaches students how to organize work, take notes, manage time and assume responsibility for behaviors.
