This is a very simple workbook/textbook for teachers grappling with the new brain-based learning craze that is sweeping the country.
Sousa is definitely not a V.S. Ramachandran, but the book is neatly and carefully laid out to give the beginner a decent overview of the brain's role in the learning process.
The book touches briefly on a number of issues of interest to teachers and parents of young children, including the need for good nutrition, the importance of using both humor and the five senses in the learning process, and an explanation of how short and long-term memory work.
With its large font-size and set of review questions at the end of each chapter, this would be a decent workbook for a week-long teachers' in-service.
