From Booklist

Teens struggle with balancing social lives with school requirements, and many generate high levels of stress as they attempt to score well on each test or assignment. To cope, students need to learn time management skills to juggle the various elements of their lives. Enter Moss and DeLuca-Acconi, who cover most of the same ground as seen in Lesley Schwartz Martin’s Make the Grade (2013) but in a format more appealing to its intended audience. Incorporating student questions and practical examples, the authors lead readers through helpful “mind games,” tips on organization, and necessary skills for the day of the big test. At the beginning of each chapter, checklists with positive reinforcement encourage readers to delve further. The use of slick pages, color headings, quotation bubbles, and charts will hook students, though the lack of an index might frustrate them. Both counselors and school librarians should consider adding this book to their collections. Grades 7-10. --J. B. Petty --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review

This excellent source for ADHD and anxiety sufferers helps elementary and middle school age students identify the symptoms of stress, understand the roots of academic and social concerns, and manage time and studying more effectively...A fantastic offering for those who need help staying calm and confident in school. --Foreword

"Real and straightforward - this is the perfect tool to help kids cope with stress and anxiety, without overwhelming them." --Jane DeRosa - 6th Grade Teacher, 23 Years

"Today, children are quite busy navigating their academic and social worlds. Multitasking is easier for some more than others, yet, all children need a toolbox to draw from in order to meet twenty-first century challenges. Dr. Moss and Ms. Acconi have provided this toolbox in School Made Easier. It is a practical book with real examples based on student s experiences. As a parent and an educator, a book like this will serve as a valuable resource for students and my own children that can be used over and over as they face a variety of academic challenges. -Denise Campbell, Director of Special Education and Pupil Services, Cold Spring Harbor School District in New York and mother of 5

"The guide is written so as to facilitate its helpful contents in going quickly from page to practice. Moss and DeLuca-Acconi's work will resonate with a variety of struggling students (and their parents) because of an appreciation that stress management and executive functioning strategies need to be tailored to each individual. The behavioral components are complemented by an appealing cognitive approach that will serve to draw in young readers and motivate change." --Dr. David Curtis, PhD, clinical and school psychologist, Long Island, NY

"I want to order a copy of this book for each student in my class! The authors' strategies for completing assignments, keeping organized, and staying calm would be helpful in any situation, not just an academic one.
In a very kid-friendly format, Dr. Moss and Ms. Acconi have written a book that is chock-full of helpful tips to make school easier. They speak directly to the reader in offering ways to alleviate anxiety associated with school and find the best approaches to homework, longterm projects, and tests. Recognizing that all kids are different, the authors have provided multiple strategies for academic success. If one idea doesn't work, the next one might prove helpful." --Whitney O'Donnell, fifth grade teacher
