...for the Primary Grades

This collection of unique, sometimes unconventional, hands-on activities for K–3 children will help develop their skills in the six language arts while continually reinforcing how much fun learning can be. The book’s teacher-friendly format breaks down each activity into objectives, materials, preparation, procedure, summary, assessment, and enrichment. The appendixes include sample checklists and rubrics to help you assess the activities, and you’ll also find the IRA/NCTE Standards for the English Language Arts, Web sites for teachers and students, and publishers of student work.
