In Chapter 7, I really like the idea that in order to get something right, you need to practice and experience it, by using "Try-its". I know that a lot of times when I am helping a student, I am tempted to just tell them the correct way of doing whatever it is that they are struggling with, but by trying it themselves, they are able to better understand where they were messing up, and learn from their mistakes.
In Chapter 8, I love the idea of focusing on strengths, instead of pointing out weaknesses. But, if you are always pointing out strengths, where does the pointing out weaknesses come into play? Because those weaknesses do need pointed out, at least at some point, or the student will never fix those problem areas.
And, in Chapter 9, I definitely think that there are some really helpful ideas to help get kids to understand the things they might be struggling on.
