How Children Succeed - Reading Together

Welcome to the newest Reading Together series. I'll be posting a summary about our reading each week on Tuesdays. Come join us!

We'll be reading How Children Succeed by Paul Tough. You can get a copy from your local library, or pick up a copy from Amazon.

We'll be reading one chapter per week.
I'll post about the first installment on Tuesday, November 22. That means you have three weeks to get a copy of the book and to read the first chapter.

The great thing about this program is that it allows us to read works together that can help us in our professional development as well as providing a level of accountability and the added interest of comparing notes as we read together.

Reading Together - How to Teach - How To Study

"Study is controlled mental activity working towards the realization of a goal." (page 159, Kindle Edition)

"Study requires a certain critical attitude, a checking up of results against the problem set. In order to be efficient in study a child should know when he has reached the solution, when the means have been adapted to the end, when he has reached the goal." (page 162, Kindle Edition)
