Review:I can't believe I didn't read this book sooner than at the age of 28!! Mr. Angone has really honed in on what it is to be in your 20's and actually living or the feeling that you aren't living at all. Mr Angone has so many golden nuggets in this book that it is hard to mention JUST ONE. This is a book that I will be referencing for a while, but also a book that I will give to all high school graduates. He is very honest and transparent throughout this book and his life experiences truly navigate... Read more

Review:This book is rated 4 only because I have not read it as yet. I fully expect it to be an excellent addition to the Dissertation Guidebook by Rudestam and Newton. Students who are going through the process of obtaining a doctoral degree need all the help they can get to fulfill the requirements with gusto and expertise. Read more
Review:This book was suggested by Shane Parrish at Farnam Street and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to read. The book was on the money and the insights were invaluable. This was my first encounter with DFW and his writing (or speeches) and I'm curious to explore his writing. This is water will be a regular read for me and a reminder of the choices we made every day in our lives. Read more

Review:Love this workbook! Covers a lot of sight words needed for kindergarten to second grade. My daughter loves it as well.
The best thing you can do is to scan/copy and print the pages so you can use them multiple times. My child learns by doing and she has to "do" a few times before it sticks with her. By copying and printing the pages she can go through the worksheets several times or however much she needs.
This is a great workbook for helping learn sight words. Won't be disappointe... Read more
Review:I am using this book to homeschool my kindergartener. When we started she had no reading experience other than knowing what sound each letter makes. This book is amazing. It is such an easy and simple approach, yet it does the job wonderfully. The child learns to read without being bogged down with rules; only a few rules are mentioned. This book is great for kids who still have trouble with handwriting because it is almost entirely oral. I only gave 4 stars simply because I disagree with a fe... Read more
Review:I used this book to help study for the MSAT (Calif. teacher's test). This book, along with "What Your 6th Grader Needs To Know" taught me, in bare-bones terms, the necessary points of each subject. The Literature/Language Arts section is worth the price of the book in itself, because it gave a synopsis of some of the greats of literature (most of which I was never required to read as a youngster). That said, I passed the MSAT and am now going on to be an elementary teacher. I would recommend thi... Read more
