Dr. Dixon's Guide to a Child's Educational Success Book 1: Building the Foundation is a guide for parents and educators to do their part in improving their child's success in education. Dr. Dixon's Guide offers a vicarious learning approach for parents and educators about learning and teaching. The guide is distinctive in more than one way when compared to other texts that guide improving learning skills in a straightforward and mechanical manner. It is based on lived experiences as a student and an educator, which serves as an informational as well as a motivational source for its audiences in forging their abilities in building the child's foundation for learning success. Math is a subject area in which many students, regardless of gender, race, and nationality, seem to struggle. So, to see the practicality of the content, math is the subject focused on. But ultimately, everything learned, especially the three laws, can be applied to all subjects and is not limited to just math. Dr. Dixon's Guide Book 1 will equip the parent or educator with the foundational tools to help the child improve learning skills and abilities for greater success in education.
