Customer Reviews

Completely Satisfied

I ordered this book at a great price! I received it when I expected to and it was in an excellent condition.

Language Arts:Patterns of Practice

I thought the book was in perfect condition and I appreciate the carefully wrapping of the seller. This means that the seller is responsible and has high quality standards. I would definitely buy other items from this seller if there may be another item that I may need to purchase in the near future. Thanks.

Excellent resource for Language Arts Teachers

I have recommended that the students in my class keep this textbook for future use. It is chock full of strategies, research to back up those strategies, book lists and classroom examples. The author gives step by step instruction on how to set up the four classroom strategies for teaching the language arts. This information is invaluable and even the most inexperienced teacher could use the book to set up a viable language arts classroom. The DVD that comes with the book allows us to see inside the classrooms of "exemplary" teachers and watch how the strategies work in the real world. Well worth the money.

A wealth of information

Finally, I was required to a buy a book that I will actually use again. Both pre-student and veteren teachers will enjoy this book. It contains a wealth of strategies for teaching kids how to write. Although there is a a lot of great information however, if your like me you don't have tons of time for reading through all the historical and case study information. Each section is clearly explained so it's great to just pick and choose what you are looking for.
