About this title

Review

There is no doubt that we live in stressful times and that our new age of technology and information access often contributes to that stress. A corollary to this is Homework Made Simple: Tips, Tools, and Solutions for Stress-Free Homework by Ann Dolin, M.Ed.($14.95, Advantage Books, softcover). Kids are coming home with more and more homework these days and this poses a problem for them and their parents. The author, a former public school teacher with more than 20 years experience, offers lots of good advice for parents of children from age six to 18 and identifies six types of children who struggle with school and homework. She spells out six study skills that need to be developed and the organization of time that helps students master content and builds self-confidence. In a very real way, this is homework for adults and well worth reading. -- Bookviews.com, September, 2010
