Customer Reviews
The Teacher’s Tool Kit
This is an excellent resource for teachers and parents. As a parent, I can see that this method would be extremely helpful in the home setting as well.
Allowing young students to choose books which excite and engage them, in my opinion, is the best way to help them to become good readers and writers. The 7 Timeless T’s of Authentic Literacy Instruction are tools that create an environment to excite, encourage, and enable students to grow as readers and writers; to grow into confident and independent thinkers.
