Fix It With Focus

Om boken

Focus. Focus. Focus. That's the advice Blake hears again and again but never seems to follow. Blake has a short attention span. In the classroom, he carelessly demolishes a Lego volcano in his rush to see who's outside the window. On the pitch, he gets his elbow and his ego bruised because of a distracting clod of dirt. In the lunchroom, he stops telling his own story to flip a bottle and ends up drenched in a puddle. The poor guy stumbles from one mishap to another because of a complete lack of concentration. Will his fortunes change when the caring adults in his life introduce him to hands-on tools and manipulatives, such as squishy erasers, stress balls and glove taps? And can a work/break cycle, coupled with using the word FOCUS as a mnemonic device, make things any better? FIX IT WITH FOCUS is from the pen of award-winning author and school counsellor Bryan Smith, whose popular Executive FUNction series offers great lessons to young readers who struggle with self-control, have the wiggles, or are coping with ADHD.
