Learning styles book (SOLD OUT) will change his (and your) life
From Mrs. Schuhmacher: Books have arrived! But, we ran out. Order here for more. After hearing from many of you after our last book club, I ordered 10 copies of What’s My Style: Test and Study Secrets for Procrastinating Teens, An Owner’s Manual for Your Brain by Betty Caldwell, M.A. This book hit home for many parents with its practical approach and tips.

"Ms. Caldwell's book is a valuable resource for those students and their parents who need to value their right-brain strengths first. It then provides them with the resources to overcome and deal positively with their challenges."

"I just had to write to say thanks. I checked your book out from the HC Library and I can't believe my LD-ADHD teenage son (who complains everytime I bring a book home on executive function, study skills, etc) said "we have to buy this one! " Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!"
Kindest regards,

"I loved how user friendly the book is. It's short, sweet, and to the point...I'm glad to know that I'll have it around the house and that in just 3 minutes I can get myself back on track."

"First I want to know why you didn’t publish this 25 years ago! This is a book that should be handed out to every freshman in high school and then again to every freshman in college. You have put together such a great piece. Your writing has a certain flair to it – very familiar and friendly - so easy to read. I almost felt like we were sitting together chatting."

What's My Style? is quite an interesting book! If I had had this when I was a student, I wouldn't have had to study nearly as hard. I spent more time studying than necessary, including many weekends and holidays. It was drudgery. It would have been easier if I had known some of these tips. This book will make students conscious of methods of study that they simply won't be aware of on their own. From my review, this book could help any student, including college students and adult learners.
