50 Ways to Say "Well Done!"

This list is taken from a book I've recently read, "Learning Disabilities: A to Z," by Connie Smith, Ph.D. and Lisa Strick. Sometimes I find it difficult to come up with encouraging comments and resort to using the old stand-by's...good job, great work, etc. I printed this list and posted it on our refrigerator for future reference. I hope it helps you as well.
