Ready to Learn : How to Help Your Preschooler Succeed
Reviewed by Rachel
Ready to Learn : How to Help Your Preschooler Succeed by Dr. Stan Goldberg is based on thirty years of experience helping children, including his own, deal with learning disabilities. Ready to Learn is a thorough guide to helping children cope with learning disabilities, or as Stan prefers to call them, "learning differences." Hopefully in good time that will be the PC phrase!
While focusing on parents who have already sensed learning differences in their children and encouraging them to act now to help their children deal with the difficulties, this book is also helpful to parents who are simply not sure whether their child has any learning differences. Many of the suggestions in Ready to Learn can be applied by all parents needing ideas for preparing their child for preschool or kindergarten. Even teachers that wish to find out how they might better help more of their students learn efficiently would find this book useful.
In Ready to Learn you can find a great amount of information about different learning strengths and weaknesses, types of learning differences, and best of all, time tested solutions to aid you in steering your child toward success. As a parent, you are the greatest teacher your child will ever have. The sooner you know how your child learns, the sooner you can start preparing him or her for a smooth transition from home into a classroom setting.
If you sense a learning difference in your little one then,
honestly, this book should be required reading. For parents of
children with learning differences, getting them up to speed on all
the "requirements" for entering kindergarten can be a daunting task.
If you give them the skills to adapt to learning situations that are
not necessarily individually tuned to their learning style, their
future school life will be all the better for it, and they can enjoy
a lifetime of learning and success.
