Reviews"The problems boys encounter in school and learning are well known but the research on this topic seldom points out how teachers can remedy and combat those problems. It takes a highly skilled teacher to help struggling boys learn, but it takes a great teacher to accomplish it with humor, creativity and a caring heart. Linda is one of those great teachers whose book is a gift to her fellow teachers and their students. Actually, this book is a gift to all who love teaching and learning by creating the best environment, attitude and structure for boys to be successful learners in your classroom. This is a commitment we all need to make to save our struggling boys!" --Barbara Mercer, retired literacy curriculum coordinator for Vancouver Schools "Ms. Gilliam has taught Kindergarten for 23 years and all primary grades for a total of 40+ years in California and Washington State, Linda understands the importance of early childhood development especially in boys, and wants to share her invaluable years of experiences. Accomplished teacher, Teacher of the Year for the Vancouver Washington School District 1997, motivational speaker and engages children so they LIKE school and THRIVE in pursing their passions!" --P. Constance Grecco, development officer of Clark College Foundation, Vancouver, WA.
