MATH IS NOT MAGIC - BOOK REVIEW BY JERRY KNOELKE
This book is very informative and educational. Right off the bat I noticed that the author wants you to know that
there is not magic wand with math. You either know how to solve the problem or you don't. The book takes you
from basic algebra all the way to calculus. I think that the pictures make the reader pay more attention to the
math problems. Math problems are broken down to their very last point. All of the problem are explained well and
clear. The book was easy to understand and it makes the reader feel more confident while they are trying to solve
their math problems. I would recommend this book to anyone who needs math problems broken down to them so
that they are easier to understand. This book would be great to use and to help kids understand that math is not
as hard as it seems. Pictures are the key here.

UNRAVELING READING - BOOK RE-
VIEW BY RAY SIMMONS
Unraveling Reading by Daniela Silva is chock full of great practical advice and tips for teaching young people to
read. I can’t think of many more useful and necessary reasons to write a book. Reading has played a huge role
in my life. It determines how I think and what I think about much more than TV or any other medium does. My
mother instilled this love of reading in me. She was a librarian. She is also the one that taught me to read and I
thank her for it every day. Now I teach children to read and I think this book is going to help me do this a little
more efficiently. I already use a lot of the things Daniela talks about, but I saw some new ideas that look like
they may be useful.
Unraveling Reading is published by the New Heights Education Group and Daniela Silva tells us a little about the
group and its mission. I must say I am impressed with their goals. There should be groups like this all around
America, focusing not just on reading, but all aspects and areas of our children’s education. I found Unraveling
Reading to be well written, well organized, and full of ideas and advice that will help parents, educators, and
anyone else attempting to give children one of the most precious gifts you can give a child. An introduction to
the world of books. Unraveling Reading is a very useful tool and Daniela Silva should be commended for writing
it. I’m passionate about reading. I think everyone should be.
