Review:The book is massive and is exactly what my sister was looking for. I even selected no priority shipping so I was expecting it to arrive a week or two out and got it within the same week ordered it. It's perfect. Read more
Review:Best if your first language is English....extremely hard if you are a second language learner. However, I have had upper elementary, go-getter students who wanted to challenge themselves who were ESL students. Just be careful to not overwhelm ESL beginners. Read more
Review:Leonard Sax has the experience and credentials to support this timely work. He effectively identifies and addresses social, educational, and behavioral issues of children and connects these factors back to the home. The emphasis of this book is not putting blame on parents.

Review:Well-organized, easy to understand book. Has a progress chart and stickers inside which helped my child stay motivated to work through it. Lessons are short and well-explained. Will buy for my younger children when they are ready to learn cursive. Read more

Pick up a few levels and get their free shipping. Your kids will feel as they have accomplished so much when they finish each book in the level you have purchased. High recommend. Read more
Review:This was required text for my Educational Psychology course.
Luckily .. the book is very detailed with many examples, because my teacher just breezed over most topics. We had to learn everything from the textbook.
