“ All the activities are great because they help ignite the imaginations of young students. As an elementary teacher, I created many of these activities for my students. However, I had to go through many different resources to find them. This book will be a lifesaver for busy teachers, especially new teachers.” Professor Gladys Ross Yarbrough Georgia State University
“ I really like the emphasis on nonfiction understanding-we all spend a bit too much time focusing on 'story'-but this text really speaks to content literacy and the very struggles children will have with the social studies text if we don't provide the instructional understanding for this genre.” Professor Mary Lee Bass Monmouth Univeristy-New Jersey
