Review:

Classroom teachers will find Michelle Manville’s resource book an excellent addition to their professional libraries. Her easy-to-follow activities, designed to strengthen student skills in meeting the requirements of the Common Core State Standards, will keep students engaged in learning and enhance the classroom. Manville understands the needs of the classroom teacher, and I highly recommend this CCSS resource. (Shari Bauman, sixth grade language arts teacher, Riverside Middle School, Elwood, Kansas)

I am excited to have Manville’s book as a rich resource for my teachers; as we continue our transition to implement CCSS in our district. Teachers will immediately appreciate the multitude of activities, especially as they are asked this year to implement new activities for each under-touched Common Core standard and for 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. (Sally Minnick, former northwest Missouri regional professional development communication arts instructional specialist)

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.
