"My son who is a dyslexic Ph.D. student gave me this, saying that it explains a lot about the way he has re-taught himself through almost every subject. Really shows you how to take apart material to be learned and put it back together again in a format that you understand and remember. In addition to the great information, it also has a very attractive and user-friendly format."
"Another unwritten rule of school, a philosophy most teachers and institutions are based on but according to the author they would deny, is the idea that students are not even particularly interested in learning. What's more, textbooks are terribly written and are designed for sales: as many texts to as many schools as possible is the objective, not accessibility or user-friendliness, and often not even correct information (texts are plagued with inaccuracies). This results in watered-down, information-dense tomes that are virtually impenetrable and can kill the student's spirit. The author shows us how to get around this by taking a typically boring and hellish passage about igneous rocks and teaching us how to approach the paragraphs. Underlining and highlighting teaches you how to underline and highlight. What you need to do is actively involve yourself in what you are reading, keep the main themes in mind, and connect the major ideas. Ask yourself questions. Ask the book questions. And key to understanding and internalizing information is 'translating' what you have learned into your own personalized every day language. Put it in "your own words.""
