Abstract
Top place this month goes to Learning Centers: A Guide for Effective Use by Waynant and Wilson. It is about classroom learning stations and is chock full of good ideas. Robert Weber edited a useful Handbook on Learning Disabilities which is more concerned with management, social factors and teenagers than with teaching content. Scholastic Magazine and Book Services have published several “write-in” texts which should prove useful to LD teachers at the junior high and high school levels. Piaget for Teachers by Hans Furth neatly condenses, in a very clear way, the principles and teachings of that eminent child psychologist; it receives a “Best Buy” rating. For the musicians among our readers I recommend the Cariabo-Cohn method of teaching music in the classroom. Equally recommended is Robert Valett's The Psychoeducational Treatment of Hyperactive Children, a nice antidote to the Ritalin prescribers. Those interested in Body Ego Technique may wish to dip into Jeri Salkin's book. Hannah Miller reviews the film, As We Are. My own contribution this month is a personal viewpoint about some research reviews which I consider have come to some premature, simplistic conclusions about psycholinguistic auditory-vocal and deficit training procedures.
