Learning Vs Testing: Strategies That Bridge the Gap : A Complete Guidebook for Teachers and Parents

by Pat Wyman

Addressing the gap between the many different ways kids learn and the single way they are tested, this book will benefit struggling readers and students who perform poorly on tests. The ideas and strategies presented here will help problem-learners transfer what they know from their own natural learning style into useful forms for test-taking. Teachers, reading specialists, administrators, staff developers, special-education teachers, and parents who work with elementary and middle-school-age children will learn how early detection of visual skill problems can save students years of struggle in school. Also explored are methods for linking visual-skill development to vocabulary mastery and turning students into super spellers, math-fact masters, and brain smart/body smart learners.
