What Katy Did Next is a delightful book written for children by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey in the late 19th century. This heart-warming tale details the story of Katy, a twelve-year-old American tomboy who lives with her family in the fictionalised Ohio town of Burnet in the 1860s. Katy is obsessed with fantastical notions of greatness and wishes to be handsome and beloved by all, and after the death of her mother she resolves to be a mother to her siblings - but not with some difficulty. After a terrible accident which leaves her crippled, Katy gradually learns to be as good and kind as she has always wished to be during her long and challenging recovery. This lovely tale of growth and realisation is a timeless classic, enjoyed by children today just as much as it was upon its originally publication in 1872. Sarah Chauncey Woolsey was an American author often writing under the pseudonym Susan Coolidge. Other notable works by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey include: Not Quite Eighteen (1894), Little Bo-Beep (1901), and What Katy Did at School (1873). This book is republished now with an additional biography of the author.

Do you have problems remembering birthdays and anniversaries, appointments and errands?Do you sometimes find yourself in a room, and wonder why you're there?Do you end up doing things twice because you've forgotten you've already done them?Of all the memory failures that plague us, forgetting our intentions -- birthdays, appointments, errands we mean to do -- is the greatest, closely followed by those moments of absentmindedness when we lose track of what we're doing.The special problem of these common memory failures is that they are failures that are often very obvious to others. More than any other memory failure, forgetting the future makes others feel hurt and annoyed, causing us regret and embarrassment. And absentmindedness can not simply be irritating, but dangerous.Many people think that these sorts of problems are inevitable -- a natural consequence of getting older, or going through menopause, or because of some 'natural' personality flaw. But remembering future events, and remembering what you're doing or have just done, are memory tasks that, like any other memory task, are subject to your skills. Skills can be learned.To learn or improve a skill, you need to know effective strategies and how to practice them. This book helps you understand these memory and attention failures, and shows you how to overcome them.As always with the Mempowered books, this fully referenced book, based on the work of cognitive researchers, helps you permanently improve your memory skills by explaining what you need to know to use these strategies effectively and appropriately.

Working 'hard' is not enough. To be an effective student, you need to work 'smart'.This book is for students who are serious about being successful in study, and teachers who want to know how best to help their students learn. For being a successful student is far more about being a smart user of effective strategies than about being 'smart'.In Effective Notetaking and Mnemonics for Study, Dr McPherson showed readers many strategies for improving understanding and memory. But these on their own can only take you so far, if you don't know how to cement that information into your brain for the long term. In this new book, Dr McPherson explains the 10 principles of effective practice and revision.Few students know how to revise effectively, which is why they waste so much time going over and over material, as they try to hammer it into their heads. But you don't need to spend all that time, and you don't need to endure such boredom. What you need to do is understand how to review your learning in the most effective way. Using examples from science, math, history, foreign languages, and skill learning, that is what this book aims to teach you.This book will tell you what you should practice or revise how you should practice how often you should practice how far apart you should schedule your sessions different strategies you can use in your practice how skill learning differs from 'fact' learning and more. As always with the Mempowered books, this book uses the latest cognitive and educational research to show you what to do to maximize your learning.
