The book presents three 93-day lesson plans to motivate and teach handicapped secondary students basic academic skills in reading and language arts, English, and mathematics in conjunction with learning about automobile engines from Revell's Visible V8 Engine Kit. Each lesson plan is correlated with the Visible V8 Engine Kit and includes daily objectives and task analyses. The reading and language arts section includes selected vocabulary words grouped under common phonic rules. The English and mathematics sections each include student exercises, with answers for the teacher. Materials provided for teacher duplication include instructions for Visible V8 Engine Kit assembly, a vocational vocabulary pretest, a sample dealer billing sheet, and a time/dollar conversion sheet to figure out labor charges.
