5 out of 5 stars If you have the time, this is brilliantly effective   September 5, 2007
 19 out of 19 found this review helpful

I was lent this book on recommendation and I spent the Summer hols doing it with my 10 year old son. You do need to purchase a number of specialist items (e.g. double-sided blackboard) and you need commitment from the child (a pre-selected prize was very motivational). The emphasis is on fun, with plenty of activities and exercises but effort is required. The improvements are measurable and significant. My son is very pleased with the outcome and like the other reviewer, continues with the warm-up exercises daily.

The book is informative, easy to read and use, reasonably priced and has photocopiable pages (ideal for small group work). It combines a number of known ideas, occupational therapy exercises, resistance exercises with multi-sensory music and movement into a short and effective programme. I used it with an 8 year old who could only manage mixed sized print and now he can write using cursive writing. He still does the exercises to build muscle memory and strength. It is not the neatest writing but its legible and he is very proud of it, and that is what counts. There has to be some student co-operation to ensure the exercises are completed daily and this is what shortens the overall time the programme takes to be effective.
