HOW IS MY FIRST GRADER DOING IN SCHOOL? : What to Expect and How to Help

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book series for anxious parents
Review: As a teacher I critically examine any book that claims to help parents at home. There are many that are nothing but laundry lists designed to further a political idiot-ology (read as E.D. Hirsch). This book is wonderful for helping parents to understand the stages that their children are going through and the best ways that they can address those needs and support current and knowledgable teaching methods. A must for any parent or teacher.

Summary: Filled with great ideas to help your child!
Review: Ms. Jacobson's book is marvelous! It's easy to use and helped me identify exactly where my son was strong, and where he needed a little help. I have very limited time to work with my kids on their school work, and I really appreciated the author's fun ideas for working with my 5-year old son to help him with various skills that only take a few minutes each. I felt I was able to make a difference, working with him, while we were just driving together in the car, running an errand, etc. I highly recommend this book - very accessible and very creative ideas!
