From Publishers Weekly
Goldberg's compassionate, comprehensive manual, geared particularly toward parents of preschoolers with any number of learning delays or disabilities, looks somewhat academic, with its text-heavy layout and frequent charts. But it will be a boon to any parent or caretaker wishing "to learn the basics of teaching children," and a friendly one at that, as Goldberg eschews labels, preferring instead to focus on behaviors. He describes how children process information and outlines basic skills parents must acquire to help children properly handle data. He offers strategies for adults to help develop preschoolers' attention and understanding (e.g., break up complex tasks into smaller steps; use visual information for children whose listening skills are poor), outlines how a child's poor learning skills can affect the emotional well-being of his or her entire family and shares ways to keep family harmony. Although the 11 chapters are dense, each one gives a specific tactic for identifying the personal learning styles of children as young as age two. Goldberg incorporates plenty of examples from his experiences as a university professor (at San Francisco State University), researcher, clinician and parent into the text, and includes diagrams, graphs and graphics to present a thorough, positive guide. By addressing even severe learning problems early, Goldberg explains, learning differences will not keep children from growing up happily to become successful adults. (Feb.)

"Goldberg's compassionate, comprehensive manualwill be a boon to any parent or caretaker wishing 'to learn the basics of teaching children,' and a friendly one at that, as Goldberg eschews labels, preferring instead to focus on behaviors. By addressing even severe learning problems early, Goldberg explains, learning difference will not keep children from growing up happily to become successful adults."--Publishers Weekly
"Presents seven practical and easy-to-implement strategies with examples that offer parents simple road maps to overcoming their children's learning issues. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
"Finally, an author who understands the fears, hopes, and dreams of parents of children who learn differently. Goldberg provides clear explanations for complex problems and workable real-world solutions. This book is the set of instructions that should have been delivered with your baby. A 'must have' for parents and professionals alike." --Richard Culatta, Ph.D., Professor and Chair of the Department of Language, Reading, and Exceptionalities, Appalachian State University
"In Ready to Learn, Dr. Goldberg provides concrete advice on ways parents can partner with their children for ultimate learning success. With emphases on individualizing learning activities based on the child's needs, empowering children to take responsibility for their own learning outcomes, fostering active engagement in the learning process, and methods of providing emotional support to children with learning difficulties, this book should be required reading not just for parents of children with learning differences, but for all parents everywhere." --Teri James Bellis, Ph.D., Chair, Department of Communication Disorders, The University of South Dakota, and author of When the Brain Can't Hear: Unraveling the Mystery of Auditory Processing Disorder
"Dr. Goldberg delivers a long-awaited resource for both parents and educators alike. In Ready to Learn, Dr. Goldberg draws upon his clinical and personal experiences to deliver a tangible 'how to' foundation--rich with analogies and effective examples--for embarking on the journey of educating the special learner. A required read for parents and professionals alike!" --Jeffie Gellerman-Muntifering, Advocate and Consultant

He gives clear and helpful strategies to deal with everyday difficulties parents have with children who have special needs. He looks at solving problems with straightforward strategies and explains Medical conditions in easy-to-read and understandable language. I fully endorse this book and encourage other parents who have children with special requirements and behavioral difficulties to read it too." --Caroline Hensby, adders.org
"The teaching methods in this book are simple, easy to use, and very effective. We have implemented many of these strategies, and as a result our son is experiencing more success in his daily learning. We highly recommend Dr. Goldberg's new book to parents, professionals, and school teachers." --Jim and Grace Hsu, Parents
"This book's advice is pragmatic, proactive, and powerful. It is quite simply an essential guide to understanding and teaching the modern child. " --Fintan O'Regan, International Behavior Management Consultant
Reader Reviews
It's perfectly natural for a young child to not listen and follow directions on occasion...and sometimes you'll notice that it's more often than not :)! But if you notice that your preschool-age child is having real difficulty learning or grasping a new idea or subject, then you, as your child's first teacher, should begin early to correct the problem. The book, "Ready to Learn: How to Help Your Preschooler Succeed," by Stan Goldberg, Ph.D., helps parents by identifying the five important steps in learning. He explains the different ways in which parents can teach their children at a young age, and shows them what children need to do in order to help themselves. He also gives reasons for learning difficulties and gives parents teaching strategies and solutions for preventing and solving learning problems. In addition, parents will be given the tools they need in order to learn and understand their child's own personal learning style, and how to help them learn more effectively. MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- parents of young children will find this book very informative and useful. It lists many resources where parents can find educational support, and includes developmental milestones from the age of three months - five years. It also includes many experiences from both parents and children.
