I love the specific ideas and suggestions [Schneider gives] to parents and teachers. The Pinpoint Reading Program is totally non-threatening and very easy to implement.

As a parent and a teacher, I understand that it is important to develop the literacy skills of our youngsters for use both at school and at home. The strategies and activities offered in How Parents Can Help Kids Improve Test Scores to improve reading and test-taking skills will be valuable to me as an educator. As a parent, I will be better prepared to provide a home environment that encourages my children to become more confident and successful readers. With children spending so much of their free time watching TV and playing computer games, it is refreshing to hear from an author who offers us other options for learning. I have already begun to implement some of Mr. Schneider's suggestions both at home and in class.
