A great introduction to learning styles with examples of how to apply what is being explained. I'm bit concerned about the shallow explanations of the research and to me simplistic groupings. Perhaps that is all to the better though for the purposes of this book.
This is a fantastic book about understanding your own learning styles and the learning styles of those you love. Understanding someone else's learning style can be key to realizing that someone isn't trying to drive you crazy, but merely processes information differently than you do.
Not particularly deep, but fun. The four styles that Ms. Tobias discusses are a little different from most, and worth the read if your child isn't fitting into the "schoolish" mold.
I LOVED this book! My son is too young to have a predominant style, but I learned a LOT about myself and my husband!
