Students with SpLDs can often find exams challenging and can experience a good deal of anxiety around exam time, leading to exam results that may not accurately reflect their capabilities. Much exam stress arises from a lack of confidence with the ability to learn and retain information in a meaningful way. This engaging workbook is designed to help students to overcome these issues. It not only shows students how to develop a positive success attitude towards study and exams, but also aims to equip them with powerful strategies and techniques for learning and remembering. The book offers strategies for learners whose methods of learning are multisensory. When learning is active rather than passive, it happens faster, and is easier, more enjoyable and more effective. As you progress through the fun, engaging activities, so your confidence and belief in your ability to learn will increase. Struggling students will become confident, successful learners, with a positive attitude and access to a wide range of effective strategies, and in this way, you will achieve the results in exams that you have worked for and deserve." --

Includes bibliographical references (pages 45-46) and index."For kids with learning disabilities, school can sometimes be a very frustrating place. There are many different types of learning disabilities, but they all make it difficult for a person to learn. Kids with learning disabilities sometimes think they must not be very smart, but this isn't true at all. A learning disability might make it a lot harder for someone to read or do math, but that has nothing to do with how intelligent he is. Understanding the causes and effects of a learning disability, as well as ways to overcome it, are important for kids dealing with these types of disabilities--and it is also important for people who know someone dealing with them"--Cover, p. 4.930L
