Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewI am excited to have Manville’s book as a rich resource for my teachers as we continue our transition to the CCSSs in our district. Teachers will immediately appreciate the multitude of activities, especially as they are asked this year to implement new activities on each under-touched Common Core standard and on standards on which students are underperforming. As the person responsible for curriculum and instruction, I can be confident that Manville’s laser-like attention to providing only research-based activities will help ensure success! -- Val Jones, K-12 Curriculum Coordinator, East Buchanan C-1 School District, Gower
Classroom teachers and reading specialists will find these new resource books full of rich and targeted activities designed to strengthen students’ skills as they meet the requirements of the Common Core State Standards. Michelle Manville is a consummate professional Missouri educator who understands student needs and suggests effective strategies and literature to meet them. -- Sally Minnick, former Regional Professional Development Communication Arts
The skills learned from Manville’s ninth-grade literacy and writing activities for history and social studies will be very beneficial to freshmen students in their geography and English courses. -- David Harms, social studies teacher, Iowa Falls-Alden High School, Iowa Falls, Iowa
Today's classroom teachers are eager to help students not just meet but master the standards, but many are unprepared, ill-equipped, or misguided. This book solves that problem. Michelle Manville provides ELA teachers with a wealth of useful resources and research-based strategies that allows them to deliver rigorous, meaningful, and creative instruction in their classrooms. -- Jade Lewis, East Buchanan C-1 High School English, Gower, MO
