Let Them Thrive: A Playbook for Helping Your Child Succeed in School and in Life

Bestselling author Katie Novak is back with an engaging primer for parents that shows them how to support and advocate for learning opportunities that leverage their children's strengths and interests.

Utilizing Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework prominently featured in the US Department of Education's Every Student Succeeds Act in 2015, Let Them Thrive will show you the most effective strategies for supporting your children based on research and best practices in the learning sciences.

Why is this important? Because, as Katie writes in her introduction, "as parents, we can use all the help we can get. Parenting is exhausting, and sometimes thankless work, but it's also the most rewarding job in the world when we get things right. Although our kids are wildly different from one another, we are all working toward the same goal: children who grow up to be happy and successful adults."
