Resources and Information for Younger Students
It’s not easy being a kid. Having problems in school just makes
it harder. And it’s sometimes hard, or even impossible, to separate
the difficulties that come from learning problems from those that are
just part of growing up.
There are some really good books that help explain learning and social
issues that kids have to deal with. We hope that you find them helpful.
They were all written by Dr. Mel Levine, a pediatrician who really understands
kids and how they think and learn.
- All Kinds of Minds, for elementary school students (ages
7-11)
- Keeping A Head In School (ages 11+)
- Jarvis Clutch, Social Spy, written for middle school
students but great for all kids interested in the social world of school.
All of Dr. Levine’s books and lots more information can be found
on the website of the Institute he co-founded, All
Kinds of Minds.
We also think you might like the explanation of learning problems on
the Kids
Health website.
And we really like the products made by a company called Inspiration.
Their Kidspiration
software offers a free trial and is really helpful in organizing your
ideas and building skills. |
