From the Inside Flap

The Bookmaking Experience is a guide book that provides teachers (as well as substitutes) with a wealth of possibilities to enhance learning and to integrate with their current curriculum. These talented educators have suggested materials that are inexpensive and readily available along with a quick process for enhancing retention and extending understanding. These student made books can provide a different avenue for assessment in the classroom. As educators, it is important to encourage each learner's creative development as an element of our instruction. The Bookmaking Experience is a perfect balance of all of these instructional elements. Janice Hyde Eckola, Ed.D., Director of Instruction This is a great resource for any teacher. I found The Bookmaking Experience offered practical ideas to keep learning active, meaningful and owned by the students. As we strive to reach the whole child while simultaneously meeting standards and achieving test scores, this book reminds teachers that they can accomplish those goals! Learning can still be fun. The book creations allow a magical unfolding of student imagination, an investment of self, and development of personal skill. Teachers at any grade level can utilize these strategies in order to have the human being present in the creation of understanding. Rhonda M. Rabbitt, Assistant Dean, Director of Graduate Programs in Education, Viterbo University
