A collection of ideas for activities to use in conjunction with over 90 children's books.

Confused by the different meanings of words that sound alike, a little girl imagines such unusual sights as "a king who rained" and "the foot prince in the snow."

Lists all the resources needed to create a balanced curriculum for homeschooling--from preschool to high school level.

Engaging, readable, student-friendly, and practical, this text is built on a strong theoretical and research base, and illustrated and clarified with real-life examples of children and teachers from today's diverse classrooms. Written to reflect cutting-edge theory, new research, the latest policies, the new Common Core State Standards, and best practices in the rapidly changing world of language arts instruction, Carole Cox's new Seventh Edition continues to guide students as they learn the many skills required to become an effective teacher today.--Publisher's description.
