What do Slinky toys, sign language, clipboards, golf pencils, and a house icon have in common? They all are a part of the author's writing and reading program, which teaches children how to write, and then read what they have written. This book includes: effective strategies that address multiple learning styles; a ready-to-use form for ongoing assessments; and numerous ways to differentiate instruction. Aimed at kindergarten and first graders, this book flexible enough to be useful as a remedial second-grade program, too.
