Learning to Learn is the only college-level program the Department of Education has found to have valid, controlled studies showing significant, lasting impacts on students grade point averages and retention through graduation. These studies show 80% graduation rates at colleges and 20% improvement in retention at four-year colleges. The skills in this book come easily to students because they re built on natural learning skills the skills used every day. Learning to Learn brings back the feeling of excitement about learning new things that students had before school and tests. They learn to build on their natural questioning skills and translate back and forth between what they see and what they think about between verbal and visual learning.
