A Second Grade National Board Teacher Loves This Book!

As a reading specialist, I'm always looking for ways to integrate quality children's literature into my content area lessons. When I read this book, I could not put it down! It is full of easy, practical lessons. These lessons encourage children to think, develop their own math strategies, and use writing or drawings to show how they solved mathematical problems. I liked this book so much, that I wrote a grant to purchase this book and the 21 trade books used for the lessons. I highly recommend this!

Math and Literature(k-3),Book One

An excellent collection of lessons based on trade books that link math, literature and writing...the kids enjoy the lessons and it is a wonderful way to teach reading and writing across the curriculum. Samples of student work are also inclued. A terrific resource!
