Description

Formerly a SkyLight publication.

25 Simple Things to Do for Literacy is culled from the book More than 100 Tools for Literacy in Today's Classroom. In addition to simple tasks to stimulate students' thinking and to help them become better readers and writers, each activity includes background information and instructions for conducting the activity. This ready-to-use guide is packed with strategies for improving comprehension of fictional and non-fictional texts.
