This list covers all of the punctuation marks that a student will read and use. Students at each grade level will use the ones that they need. It covers up to Grade 10, all on one page. It can be used as a poster as well as a binder insert. The marks are grouped as stop signs (end of sentence), separating and joining marks. There are usage examples, too. The illustrations provide whimsy and keys to the mark usage.

This is the complete Kindergarten math curriculum. It can be used as enrichment for pre-school and for Introduction or Preview for the first month of Grade 1. In my experience this Pre-view is necessary as many children are confused by the Grade 1 Math text.

Many people cannot read a dictionary. We start teaching about letter-sounds in Kindergarten and Grade 1 but it seems to take a long time for these conventions to stick in the mind. The lists on page 4 and 5 are not boxed; the student can draw a box around the letter and image as he studies them. This booklet covers Sight Words as well as Short Vowel words. I have tried to make it as interesting as possible to make repetition acceptable, as well as to help the child visualize those hard-to-se

This is the first of six booklets providing instruction in traditional cursive script. They move from large letters to smaller and smaller script. They also move from tracing to copying and writing original materials. They also end by showing the student how to handle the "tails" of letters when a blank space hasn't been provided as when they write on standard binder paper.

Students have complained that their teacher is making up the rules for solving equations just to annoy them. "Where is it in my text?" Often the rules were given years ago, and the student is assumed to have internalized them. Here are the rules as they appear in those earlier years. The answers are fully laid out to show the student HOW to answer. The lessons on how to read and summarize word problems are given in different ways because the student in Grade 5 is just learning to write compou

Adding and subtracting similar and dissimilar fractions is on the British Columbia and New York curricula spanning Grade 4 to 7. This information is in booklet format so that it is a discrete unit and to give the student practice in making notes by creating a journal. It is a how-to manual that will complement any standard text. It is not a problem-solving or testing device. Using legal-sized sheets, print the odd pages. Re-insert the printed sheets so as to print on the blank sides. Print

So what do you do with Sight Words, especially for kids who don't read yet? I came up with these cross-words puzzles and fill-in-the-blanks. I limited them to a number of words that a young child might handle. If you find that there are too many words ask them to do just the across words the first day or the first half of the fill-in-the-blanks. The pictures are there for clues and for interest.

These crosswords and fill-in-the-blanks are based on the Dolch sight words lists. The opening phonetics lists include all of the sounds that students learn over 3 years-they enable the student to read the pronunciation guide of a dictionary, something that many people cannot do. The puzzles are labeled by grade. It can be review for older students and reinforcement for your lessons.

BFH This is the first of my six booklets in the Barchowsky Fluent Hand. Nan Barchowsky has designed a script that provides an easy step from "printing" to "cursive" in the same script. It is useful for Algebra, too, and means that only one script needs to be learned. Nan provides lessons to doctors and other professionals who want to improve their essential hand-written notes. This first booklet gives the letter formation in a large size.

About the store

Experience

I have had a wide range of teaching experience from non-readers to first year university writing.

Teaching style

I start with the curriculum and then try to fill in the gaps as they come up. And they do come up. I invented my colour code for teaching grammar because my students were a) terrified of grammar and b)had forgotten everything that they might have learned. I found that students who were having difficulties in math had vision or hearing problems, or reading/writing problems. A lot of the mystery comes from not recognizing the kind of difficulty.

Awards & shining teacher moments

My own students credit me with teaching them grammar, or getting them through school, or helping them to get work.

My own education history

The best bit of advice that I received was this: The student takes three times the amount of time that the teacher does to complete a task/test. Always take your own test to find out a) how much time to allow for the student to write and b) how much space the student needs to complete the answer.
