Jeffrey Freed and Laurie Parsons provide an effective method for helping children with Attention Deficit Disorder excel in a classroom setting. In straightforward language, this book explains how to use the innovative "Learning Styles Inventory" to test for a right-brained learning style; help an ADD child master spelling--and build confidence--by committing complicated words to visual memory; tap an ADD kid's amazing speed-reading abilities by stressing sight recognition and scanning rather than phonics; access the child's capacity to solve math problems of increasing, often astonishing complexity--without pen or paper; capitalize on the "writing and weaning" technique to help the child turn mental images into written words; and win over teachers and principals to the right-brained approach the ADD child thrives on.

This is the first book to offer them reason for hope and a clear strategy for enabling their child to blossom.… (more)

Wow, this book is terrific if you're a parent of an ADHD child. It really offered me excellent perspective on this disease. There are many practical and easy exercises to use with your child, and these exercises focus on individual academic topics, such as reading, math, handwriting and reading. I found the handwriting tips and games very useful for my son.

I highly recommend this book if you're a parent of an ADHD child - give this book to his teacher too! ( )
