5.0 out of 5 stars Help your students learn to learn., 4 April 2003
By Nelle Tap (Gt Kingshill, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is really an excellent book. This and the partner book, The Study Skills Handbook, have contributed to a slow but steady revolution in my teaching over the past few years.

The book provides materials for PHSE type sessions with pupils, but is much more than that as it can be used by teachers and lecturers, is useful for those training in the educational field but also includes ideas that can be taken straight to the classroom. It inspires useful questionnaires or activities, but once these have been completed, it leads to a really good dialogue between teacher and pupil about the mechanism of learning, and give points to which you can subsequently refer.

I have found it particularly useful to use the questionnaires, such as kinaesthetic, auditory or visual learning styles quite early in a course. The students start to think about how they learn, I also learn about them and how I might best help them. Later in the course when I give explanations, I might say 'for those who like a visual image ...... The students seem to respond well to this; it creates the feeling there is a partnership between us, with similar goals. I also like the questions relating to 'global or sequential learning'.

This particular book targets the teacher or lecturer, and the partner is a useful companion for the student. The written style is amusing without being patronising or trite; the pages themselves are all attractive to look at, and the variety of topics covered means I can often find something that is 'just right' as I help individual students or groups, in my tutor group or in my teaching. The age range of pupils I have used this with varies from 11 to 18 years.

The two are essential for any school library, Head of Year, Sixth Form Tutor or even subject teacher. They are very reasonably priced, and I use them so much, I bought two copies of each - one for school one for home. What better recommendation can an underpaid teacher make?
