About this title

Review

"Teens will easily relate to her upbeat and friendly approach Lucas's mantra to restate information in your own words before answering a question allows students to trust their judgment, making it less likely that they will be confused by tricky questions." -- School Library Journal "Starred review, Critical Reading section"

"In stark contrast to the "teacher in front of a chalk board" the presentation is personal, conversational, relaxed, and effective." -- Peggy Dominy, Liaison Librarian "Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA"

"The three different techniques for reading based on ability is an amazing idea. I have never seen it addressed this way and it is so important. The sample readings were excellent... the one on video games was particularly good... the answer explanations are great and are key to a student's success. If they can understand their error it will help immensely." -- Kevin Murchie "James A. Garfield Senior High School, Los Angeles, CA"
