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.

• 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.

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.
