Customer Reviews

I really like Unicorns Are Real

This copy was not in good condition. Very well used and with rust marks from paper clips. Was going to give it to a friend but kind of embarrassed now to.

great resource

This book is a fantastic resource for activities on right-brained learning. Vitale's format is very easy to follow. The lessons are practical and easy to use. I have used this book in my classroom and have found that the lessons engage students and help them to understand difficult concepts.

A key to unlocking the door

I read this book twelve years ago. As a homeschool mom it helped me understand the ways I needed to work with my child. Now, as he approaches graduation...he is a musician and speaks two languages fluently. I will never forget the day this book fell into my hands!

Excellent book

As an extremely right-brained individual who also has severedyscalculia (math-learning disability), I found in this book so manyideas which would have been helpful when I was a child. The author shows great insight into the characteristics and strengths of right-brained individuals, and gives instructions for determining if a child is predominantly left or right-brained. In addition, there are short, simple exercises which can be used to help them with everything from letter and number recognition to body awareness and verbal expression. Because older children can do the activities with slight modifications,I highly recommend this book to parents of right brained children between the ages of four and fifteen. It is a much needed resource for educators who teach regular education classes,RSP, and special Education. It may also be somewhat helpful for students in special day classes. As a private tutor, I plan to use the ideas in this book with many of the students I work with.

Wonderful resource for teachers

This book was written in a parent and teacher friendly manner. I found many valuable ideas that can be used for many of the students I teach, both Special Ed and Regular Ed students.

A must for any new parent and all parents of all ages.

I give this book to all new new expectant parents. I used this book and it helped my son and I understand how to teach him, when his school teachers couldn't. His response was "You mean I'm not really dumb!" That statement was worth the price of the book. I have helped my children, grandchildren and countless others by suggesting and using ideas from this book. It was recommeneded to me in an adult training class for supervisory individuals. Wow! It helped in may ways and many situations from babies through adults.
