Reseñas de la Crítica

"Marva Collins teaches that all can read, learn, compete, and be successful." (Former First Lady, Rosalynn Carter)

Brillant

This deeply touching book is built upon wisdom and experience. A must for any family.

Listening again!

I wish I had known about this book at the beginning of my homeschool journey. This is a wonderful lesson for parents and teachers.

Inspiring for raising children and their values

Positive thinking and leading by examples are the things I took during the listening. Meanwhile, the book is concise and short, and read by the author, the way which enhances my attachment to the author and her ideas.
I came to listen to this book as Harvard Professor Tal highly recommended the author. It deserves the recommendation.
Thank you both, Marva and Tal.

Great Resource!

Great resource for parents<br />

Great resource for getting my daughter on the long narrow road to excellence. I loved the easy practical examples and ideas to work on with your children.

Marva Collins Inspires!

Manners, self talk, acceptance, (of our successes and failures) and the courage to seek the individuated path will lead a life of continuous learning and self-confidence! This is a must read and re-read. Again, again, and again!

Most valuable audiobook for any parent

This is an absolute must read for any parent. Marva's style is awe inspiring. Wish I could have heard this audio before my first child went to 1st grade.

I feel blessed and full of gratitude to know that we have someone of such great calibre to take us and our children to the next level of our excellence.
