2nd Edition Darolyn “Lyn” Jones, Ed.D. - All books by this author Painless Series - All books in this series Titles in Barron's extensive Painless Series cover a wide range of subjects as they are taught on middle school and high school levels. These books are written for students who find the subjects unusually difficult and confusing--or in many cases, just plain boring. Barron's Painless Series authors' main goal is to clear up students' confusion and perk up their interest by emphasizing the intriguing and often exciting ways in which they can put each subject to practical use. Most of these books take a light-hearted approach to their subjects, often employing humor, and always presenting fun-learning exercises that include puzzles, games, and challenging "Brain Tickler" problems to solve. Reading Comprehension assignments that first seem confusing become easy when students answer the author’s key questions about their own reading habits. For example: “What can kids do to warm up their brains before starting to read?” and “How can they keep the facts they read in their head?” The author offers interesting answers to these and many more questions.
