Thank you for posting the information about my book on your website. I was pleasantly surprised to run across it. I am very pleased to tell you that this book has been nominated for 5 awards. It is based on the latest brain research, but the reader probably will not realize that. The reader will easily learn over 60 of the most common SAT words just by enjoying the antics of the funny characters. This book is the first of a series devoted to teaching children the most efficient way possible. As a mother of a home schooled child, I know the many problems parents face, in particular the problems of a learning challenged child. Let me share what I have discovered. Any questions may be addressed to msmac@wcc.net. I am a consultant on super learning techniques and can address math, social studies and science and language arts problems as well. Have a great day.
