Invaluable resource

I have been teaching for seventeen years, and this is the most treasured teaching resource I have. You can tell that it is written by a fellow teacher, a real professional. The format is very straightforward, no glitz, just black and white lists. Ms. Bush has compiled valuable lists of homophones, homographs, analogies (categorized by the words' relationships), inferences, idioms (organized by subject), and a multitude of other things. Before each list Ms. Bush gives you suggestions for how to use the list. Ms. Bush saves you hours of brainstorming time. You don't have to scratch your head trying to come up with lists of words on your own or trying to generate examples. The lists and activities help teachers with oral and written language development. I would imagine that it would be most helpful for elementary school teachers and those who work with second language learners. Again, it is not a "shiny" book, but it is a supremely practical and user-friendly resource.
