Reviews
"Normal children whose academic performance is significantly below their potential"--this is psycho-educational consultant Cogen's definition of the underachiever, a common problem in classrooms, but one that is generally overlooked in the focus on special education for learning-disabled children. In true-to-life scenarios between frustrated parents and curriculum-driven teachers, the book illustrates steps that can be taken to ease tension and stimulate an underachieving student's interest. The chapter "Reading: Home Style," for example, acquaints parents with techniques to foster their child's curiosity. Practical, jargon-free, the book offers realistic hope to parents willing to invest time helping their "C student" children.
