My Article Out Now

Read my article on lefties and learning in the March issue of Scholastic Parent and Child.  It is always exciting to see one of your own articles in print, but this one is especially thrilling for me.  While researching this article, I had the honor of communicating with Howard Gardner.  That's right, THE Howard Gardner who developed the theory of Multiple Intelligences.  He could not have been more professional, more gracious or more helpful.  I'm an even bigger fan now!

Happy reading,

Looking for Lefties - Research

5 of the last 7 presidents were lefties, as were Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.  Although a small percentage of the population, lefties are over-represented among architects, musicians, and art/music students.  There is increased left-handedness among children with IQ scores above 132.  Why?

 

I have been assigned to research an article on left-handedness and learning.  If you are a lefty, or a parent of a lefty, I'd love to pick your brain.  I'm also looking for input from coaches on challenges that left-handed athletes may face.  If you would like to be quoted in a national magazine, please leave a comment here, or email bookgirlblogger(at)gmail(dot)com.

 

Happy reading,
