Book Reviews of A Mind at a Time: America's Top Learning Expert Shows How Every Child Can Succeed
Book Review: I Loved this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved this book. I was impressed with his observation that there is no such thing as a perfect mind. He points out that everyone has trouble with SOME aspect of learning and uses himself as an example at times. He discusses the importance of discovering and nurturing strengths in the management and improvement of specific weaknesses. I have never seen such a positive presentation of learning differences. I recommend this book for ALL educators of school children- parents, teachers, therapists, etc. Instead of dreading the beginning of the school year, I was actually looking forward to it.Book Review: My Best Advice
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for educators and students alike. And I mean ALL educators and students. You will be grateful for the information and advice. I am. And, I must say, I am also grateful for the advice of a previous reviewer who recommended that, after I read Mel Levine's great "A Mind at a Time", I also read Norman Thomas Remick's "West Point: Thomas Jefferson: Character Leadership Education". It WAS an education. This is my best advice.Book Review: I love this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a school psychologist intern. I bought this book to help me better understand the cognitive influences of learning problems. This book is great! It's easy to read and understand and not dry like many of the text books I've read. I would recommend this book to parents, school psychologists and teachers alike. This is one of the most useful books I've bought, by far.Book Review: A Mind at a Time

Think about that statement.

This book clearly defines how different minds learn and process the vast amounts of information encountered on a daily basis in school and in everyday life. The author is clearly at the top of his field and can very easily communicate his findings in a way that is easy to comprehend, extremely informative and interesting to read.
