Houghton Mifflin School, 2000

Awesome workbook for homeschoolers!
I bought this book to help my son improve his reading comprehension and writing skills over the summer. The lessons are a bit challenging for him, but we sit down and discuss them together and when he gets stuck, we work our way out of the rut together. It teaches him about notetaking and making connections and reading deep for added insight. It is the best book I've seen for teaching kids ...

Great source for teachers
Want to stir up discussion after a reading selection? This is a great book to do so. When teaching literary elements such as analysis of character, story plot, setting, etc...this book provides cards to promote discussion in group settings or students can sit at their desks and work independently. This is also a great way to motivate your students into a lessson. I recommend this book to any ...

Pecos Bill

Steven Kellogg

HarperTrophy, 1992

Bland, but the Pictures are Grand
This mild, but event-filled re-telling of the Pecos Bill story lacks the incorrigible air of tongue-in-cheek humour and bold-faced lies of the typical tall tale. However, and especially if your young`uns never heard a tall tale, the wonderful illustrations will partially make up for this. When we started to read this book, we thought those sweet-faced, round-eyed, snub-nosed cowboys looked a ...

Book looks to have possibilities
As a 4th grade teacher, I've been looking for a book with exercises that will help my students with their writing - something with short, easy to digest information, and something that will allow them to write just a paragraph (as opposed to 1-2 pages). I think this book looks to be the ticket. I've not used it yet, but the components are all there. There are 18 lessons, each containing tips ...

Helpful
This is a great book. I teach middle school reading intervention. I have used many of the techniques with my kids. The five finger rule for picking out a book that is at their reading level is very helpful. I also like the questions about reading.

Scholastic Teaching Resources (Teaching, 2007

Just didn't like
There are many poems in this book. And many of them have to do with specific subjects. But, they certainly don't teach anything. The kids must have some knowledge of the topic prior to reading the poems and even then some of the language is very difficult.

I didn't realize I had a treasure
I've had this book on my shelf for almost 3-4 years. Since I wanted to work on my reading program this summer, I pulled it, along with Strategies That Work...this book is a gold mine. I have been actively taking notes on the ideas that I will use for my third grade class. If you are going for National Board, I say get this book and use some of the strategies in it.

A Plethora of Ideas
Laura Robb's guide to teaching vocabulary minilessons is terrific. I have been using it since it arrived and do not know how I managed before I bought it. I find the strategies helpful as I struggle to provide the kind of vocabulary instruction the children need while using the Teacher's College model of reading and writing instruction. I had been frustrated with the lack of time to teach ...

Laura Robb has Done It Again! Rave Reviews for Grammer Lessons & Strategies
Robb has totally changed the way grammar is taught with this book. Instead of giving students worksheets that research and teaching experience clearly shows doesn't work, Robb shows teachers how to help students understand how strong verbs, specific nouns, and subordinating conjunctions can improve their writing. The key, though, is to have students revise THEIR writing using these excellent ...
