Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning

I absolutely love this book by Henry L. Roediger III, Mark A. McDaniel, and Peter C Brown. It does a deep dive into the research behind the most effective study techniques. It’s written in an understandable way, and it’s science-y enough to satisfy those of us who like to read books and ask, “But did they control for all variables?” In the field of education psychology, there is a lot of junk. This book is the opposite of junk. Non-junk. Read it!
