Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World: Unlocking the Potential of Your ADD Child by Jeffrey Freed & Laurie Parsons

Practical strategies for visual, big-picture learners

Good Condition (Ex-Library)

Educational consultant Jeffrey Freed, who worked with over a thousand gifted and ADD children, teams up with journalist Laurie Parsons to offer a hands-on approach for kids who learn best through visual, "right-brained" thinking rather than the sequential style most classrooms are built around. The book introduces a Learning Styles Inventory to identify this learning style, then walks through concrete techniques for spelling, speed-reading, mental math and writing that play to these strengths rather than fighting against them. Requiring just ten minutes a day, it's aimed at parents wanting practical, hopeful tools to help their child thrive in a school system not always built for how they think.
