Getting to Got It! Helping Struggling Students Learn How to Learn This book will change your life. It offers practical help for students, teachers, and parents. IT WORKS! I tutored this summer using strategies and activities from Garner's book; one student told her parents, "I think differently now." This is the best tool I've put in my teaching tool belt. I'm grateful to Betty Garner for her research!
