Review

I 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 under-performing. 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! (Valerie Jones, MsEd., K-12 curriculum coordinator, East Buchanan C-1 Schools, Gower, Missouri)

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.

What an excellent way to incorporate the new standards into your lesson plans! This book is essential to add to your curriculum! (Megan Free, fifth grade teacher, Savannah R-III School District, MO)

As a special education teacher, the search for strategies that engage students while meeting Common Core State Standards is never-ending. This book delivers as a toolbox of ready-to-use strategies. All teachers will find this book to be a treasure to have while lesson planning and providing modifications for students with special needs while providing access to the Common Core.
