Studying & Workbooks
Review:This book is good if you're between the ages of 18-22 and live on campus and your main concern is "how do I have enough time to study and party and socialize all at the same time." For a 24 year old online student working full time, this book was useless. Read more
Review:this book does not have tear out sheets so it isn't as easy to use. it is a small book but for the price it is ok. if you are just looking for something for you child to get some extra practice with this would for and at an inexpensive price 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 love the cards, no complaints about the design or quality of the paper. They are good flashcards, but in my 2012 version (bought in November 2012) someone was not paying attention. The answer to the question about who is the the current speaker of the House was: Nancy Pelosi. (good answer until 2010, but correct answer in 2012: John Boehner).
So, overall great, only three stars because of this mistake. Otherwise, my children (7 and 9) have fun quizzing me with these cards to prepare me ... Read more
Review:We are using this to prevent summer slide. I ask my daughter to do two pages a day and offer a reward (we use a marble jar) for completing additional pages. I also focus more on doing it independently than making sure it is correct. She often does more than two pages voluntarily and the directions/activities are simple enough that she can work independently (for the most part). Read more
Review:This book is great for the early learner. My Daughter has Down syndrome and she loves something that has bright colors. This book keeps her interest and she is practicing her words everyday. I purchased this book and 100 words Kids need to know by 1st grade, at the same time. They are thin books, not too much detail, but I like that on the back cover and the inside cover, they printed the entire 100 word list. Read more
Review:Tedious, boring and definitely stagnant. Who really cares about the recollections of a butler who apparently isn't particularly bright. The only good thing I can say is that it is fast reading and that is because there is no substance. Read more
Review:This is a good written explanation of the process of building mind maps (radiant thinking). The explanations for the use and purpose, as well as the various areas where they are useful are also carefully explained. But the book is 98 percent text and presents a very limited and artificial way of creating them. The advice is good and complete, but as I discovered, missies the opportunity to supply varied and creative visual examples to bring them to life. Read more
Review:The book is about Zachary. Zachary is a very fat teenager. It was also about Toby. Toby's mother left the home. A guy named Cal is in it. He's brother went to fight in the Vietnam War.
The part I hate the most was when something happened to Cal's brother.
My favorite part was when Zachary got baptized.
I didn't like the book because it didn't have hardly any action, it's too boring, and too sad. It was nothing but talk, it was slow and too pitiful. It was disappointing and l... Read more
Review:As a Coordinator for Student Development classes at the community college level, I am hooked on Thomas Frank's approach! I have visited his website, CollegeInfoGeek.com, many times, and I have read this entire book! I think it is practical, relevant, and appealing to the target audience. A strength of his writing style is his no-nonsense approach infused with humor. Additionally, his knowledge of ed tech resources to assist students is incredible! The only downside to the book that I think ... Read more
