Editorial Review: Product Description: Here is a unique picture book of learning solutions for teachers who are trying to help students struggling in three main areas of learning - attention, memory, and organization. For each area, it identifies specific problems such as difficulties with left to right scanning (an attention problem), presents an observed student behavior, explains the problem, and provides strategies and visuals to correct it, including illustrated worksheets.

I have had the good fortune of working with Mimi and seeing her put her ideas into action. This book is a phenomenal assistant for anyone working with/living with children who require a little extra help.

So interesting. Rating: - Help for the Veteran Teacher!I have taught children with learning disabilities for many years and yet this book offers ways to reorganize my thinking about any student that struggles.
