Thank you Pat Wyman for writing Learning vs. Testing and sharing your knowledge! I am very frustrated that it has taken 8 years to identify the real cause of my daughter's reading and learning problems and it is because of the information in your book that we were finally able to help her become very successful in school. I am going to do everything in my power to ensure this information reaches as many children as possible who need the kind of assessment and strategies in your book. My daughter showed signs of learning difficulties since she was 6 years old, and not a single test or evaluation by any professional helped us find the answers we needed. Finally, after getting your book, I was able to give her the reading assessment and follow the plan you recommended. I learned the difficulty she is having in school is due to her vision - the way she sees the world. Everything she read was distorted and although we had given her regular eye exams for years, she never had the type of learning related eye exam you recommend. After the proper exam, we discovered that her eyes are not working together properly. Because of the information in your book, I discovered that she needs vision therapy exercises and new eyeglasses to correct the problem. Her optometrist, allowed me to look through a lens and read a document to experience what my daughter experiences when she reads. I almost was in tears when I saw double lines and words out of place. It was very difficult for me to read. I had to close one of my eyes to focus and that was only a temporary adjustment. I thought, 'How frustrating this must be for my child!' I am so happy we finally know what the real cause of her problem is and how to solve it. My child was relieved by the knowledge her learning problem is related to her visual perception and not her mental ability. Thank you so much for your commitment and dedication to the education of all children!

Both of my children have used the outstanding strategies in this book and are now at the top of their class! I recommend Pat Wyman's book to every parent and teacher I know. It quickly and easily changed the life of my children and I have seen it work miracles with other children as well. Thank you for giving me the answers I needed to help my children. God Bless you and this book has so much that it will raise the grades and test scores of every child. Sincerely, Cindy Moriarty La Mirada

This book offers simple, effective strategies that are easy to understand and easy to teach to your child. It accepts written tests as the norm in today's school and shows you how ALL types of kids can learn to perform well on them. It literally teaches kids 'how' to learn in today's classrooms. And it covers all the bases -- memorizing math facts, improving scores on spelling tests, learning new vocabulary words and even how to remember the important stuff when you read a textbook chapter.

As a avid reader of anything Pat writes or creates, I can attest to the practical application of her strategies. In this book, she has put all of her best strategies in one place. Last week I taught my afterschool sixth graders her super spelling strategies. They all got A's on their speeling test, and they all thought they were cheating. The strategies in the book make evident the things 'fast' learners do without knowing, like giving away everyone's secrets. They work and are easy to implement. The excitement on my students' faces when the strategies help them be the successes they are is worth the cost of the book many times over.

I used the strategies in Learning vs Testing with my granddaughter, Whitney, and she immediately went from low C¿s to A¿s in nearly every subject. There are so many good things to help your children in this book, I feel it¿s like a miracle come true. Thank you Pat for helping my Whitney, and I know your work is helping millions more children.
