"This title does a wonderful job at helping kids explore the topic
of how to self-monitor. Specifically, on how we sometimes forget to
take the time to read instructions completely. The self-monitoring
steps are a great resource that teachers could easily transfer over
into a classroom setting and provide ongoing feedback. I would
recommend adding visuals to this section because some of those
concepts are still broad for our learners. District wide we use
Zones of Regulation and we have created a book library for teachers
to access trade books that correspond to the different zones. We
linked this book with the yellow zone because sometimes the lack of
self monitoring skills causes our students to have frustration
about completing a task. (We also recommended this for our older
grades 3-6)." - Shannon Dobson, M-Ed, NBCT, Integrated Behavior and
Education Support Team
"Braden has a list of things to do before bed, and he's sure he
accomplished everything in record time. But when his mom checks his
work, she shows him all the things he didn't do. How could he have
missed them all? Then his mom shares a four-step process to
self-monitoring to be sure he doesn't make the same mistake again.
Self-monitoring is an important skill for kids who want to live
successful and productive lives. It helps them identify what they
want to accomplish, stay focused, double-check everything, and ask
for assistance when they need it. How Did You Miss That? shows kids
these steps in action and also provides tips for parents and
educators. I highly recommend it." - Alice Berger @

"Every week, I have students either rush through their assignments
or just not pay attention to details in their work. I strongly
recommend How Did You Miss That? to any educator who wants to help
students get past that kind of behavior. This book is going to be a
game-changer!" - Diane Dahl, Gifted/Talented Specialist
