Core Skills Reading Comprehension Grade 41 review
Steck-Vaughn, 2002
great for homeschooling
I had bought this as part of our homeschool curriculum. I liked it but I wasn't sure how it would go over with our daughter (she's very picky). She loves it! Since then I have bought more Steck-Vaughn items and all have gone over with her extremely well - she even asks for more work!

Character Education Gr 3-4 (Character Education-SS)1 review
Steck Vaughn, 2002
Excellent program for social skills lessons.
I taught in an Emotional Growth Center this year (self-contained classroom for kids on IEPs with extreme behaviors), and this was excellent for our group. I was lucky to have a creative assistant who used it, and covered a different character trait (trustworthiness, responsibility, etc.) each week. It was rewarding to see kids respond positively, understand the concepts, and be able to share ...

Great for homeschoolers
When I decided to homeschool my 3rd grader, I decided to use the same book the public school would be using. My child was already familiar with the format and I could be certain she would be keeping pace with her former classmates. The book gives 6 pages of exercises for each spelling list (36 of them - one for each week of the school year). They include fill in the blanks, alphabetical order, ...

The most valuable GED writing book around
I teach writing classes to adults who are studying to take their GED, and I always recommend this book above any other writing book. Steck-Vaughn actually administers the GED, and their books present everything you need to know to pass the GED. This writing book teaches grammar. The material is comprehensive, but easy to understand and well organized. Plus, all of the practice questions are in ...

My students love it.
I am a special education teacher who has used this series when I taught in a high school English class as well as currently in an elementary classroom. My students like the stories. They especially like the fact that each section is small enough that it is not overwhelming to them. I find that it works great in not only improving their vocabulary skills but also their reading and writing skills. ...

You've seen Karloff, now read the original
Once you read Shelley's classic you're going to scratch your head and wonder: Is this really the book that gave us the Karloff movie? Not to mention Herman Munster and Frankenberry. For over a century and half people have been cannibalizing this book for ideas, movies, other books, and products of every size, shape and type that our modern concept of Frankenstein holds little to no resemblence to ...
