 Rating: - Give Your Child A Superior MindGive Your Child a Superior Mind: A Program for Preschool Children When my sons were three and one, I saw an ad in "Parents Magazine" about the upcoming book, and ordered it to be delivered as soon as it was ready for the market. It was expensive, in those days, but I was worried about my oldest son, who was not yet talking, although I knew he was quite bright. I learned later that this was genetic, on his father's side, in all males. Nevertheless, when the book came, I started in immediately, ...

I have used it in teaching my child to read and in helping him in physical development, etc. I originally found it at a flea market for a dollar and have been his biggest fan!

It is excellent, especially the math section. It is one of those rare books that not only teaches you to teach the skill, but also to give your students a comprehension of the skill. Both of my girls are in the top half of their classes in math and reading! Please, BUY IT! Rating: - I Can't Recommend This Book Highly Enough!I bought one of the first ones out, in the 60s. It had been advertised as about to be released, so I prepaid so I would get it first thing. I had a three-year-old at the time. He was not talking yet (a genetic thing -- he talks beautifully now) but he struggled to make himself understood -- it was a motor development deficiency. When I got this book, I immediately began the exercises, followed the suggestions, etc. My son blossomed, and when his baby brother became old enough, he too, learned well and ... Read More |
