"The first MegaSkills taught us so much about how families can help children succeed in school and beyond, and the revised edition expands on those very valuable lessons with the kind of practical program that every family including grandparents like me can use. That should be encouragement enough for us to read this powerful new book."
Barbara Bush, former First Lady, Family Literacy Advocate

"Rich's dream is to reach parents...to help them prevent failure in the first place. If she can pull that off, she could wind up doing more for public education that a dozen studies of what's wrong with the schools."
William Raspberry, Columnist, The Washington Post

"MegaSkills programs are in four thousand schools serving many more thousands of children and parents. This provides strong evidence that parents and teachers recognize the program's value and are ready to do what it takes to help children achieve."
Bill Bradley, former senator and chair of the Campaign to improve the Lives of Youth

"Dorothy Rich has been the leader for family involvement in education for over 40 years with her School and family/Community Teacher Training and with MegaSkills. What I like about her work is that it's practical and it works. Teachers use it. Parents use it. Students benefit. This is documented in test scores and beyond. MegaSkills is the unique combination of academics and character development, it's what our children need more than ever."
Reg Weaver, President National Education Association

Now writing her new book, "It's Hard to be Smart when You're Scared," Dr. Rich would be delighted to hear from readers about their own emotional experiences in school, no matter how small, which they believe affected their work in school.
