$19.00 USD- Umm Studying? What's That?: Learning Strategies for the Overwhelmed and Confused College and High School Student
This book was co-written by a college student and an educational consultant for middle school through college age youth. The goal was to present practical, research-based, study and test-taking strategies to teenagers from the perspective of a fellow teenager. Currently, there is no book or guide on the market that actually teaches adolescents "how" to learn and study using multiple intelligences, learning style and brain based strategies. Educators, faculty and parents alike have continually requested a book such as this at my seminars. They would point to the version of this book written for parents of elementary students and say, “I need this for my teen!” So, we wrote it. Since its first publication, it has been one of our hottest sellers.
