How I Learn provides a simple explanation of why some children struggle in school, introducing a discussion of learning disability in concrete terms for younger students.

The story introduces the concept of a learning disability in concrete terms for younger students, emphasizing that they are capable of learning, but they do so in a different way. The story also supports a personalized discussion, encouraging children directly to identify their own strengths and challenges. Feelings typically associated with learning problems and strategies to promote achievement are also addressed. You can encourage an honest and accurate discussion of learning difficulties as you read through this book with your child. Emphasize that many children find school challenging. Explain, too, that children-no matter how young or old they are-can use smart strategies to help them learn.

And that's not just OK. It's GREAT!

A Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Professionals is included, with suggestions to guide discussion and help children identify their particular strengths and challenges.

Industry Reviews

Gold Medal, Mom's Choice Awards

"The authors present some excellent strategies for students and parents in a gentle, accessible manner."-School Library Journal

"A valuable resource to teach all children about strategies for learning, How I Learn is a choice pick for school library picture book collections."-Midwest Book Review

"How I Learn will serve as an important resource for children in helping them understand their experiences with a learning disability. The language used is appropriate, supportive, and friendly, and will make this story very approachable and readable for its intended child audience."-Educational and School Psychology Newsletter

"Honestly, I did not expect to like this book. I typically find these nonfiction guides to learning disabilities to be heavy-handed and depressing. But not this one....The authors also stress that children with learning differences are usually good at many things, and they should celebrate those things....This book would be good for a child who wants a nonfiction type of book about his learning difference and may need some bolstering of his self-esteem."-Esme.com
