Braden's schoolwork seems to be getting tougher. Word problems are more complicated. Reading passages are longer. When he's quizzed on details, they seem to be getting lost in translation. And this is carrying over to home too! With help from a caring teacher and plenty of opportunities to practice at home, Braden starts to learn and practice strategies for improving his working memory! Author and school counselor Bryan Smith offers another funny but relevant story in the very popular Executive Function book series. The included strategies are sure to be useful to all young people (and adults)! Examples model breaking down complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks, using mnemonic devices, visualization, and other practical tools for improving working memory!
Bryan Smith comes from a family of educators. He has worked in education for over 20 years.
