All educators want their students to be able to achieve more and do well on standardized tests. Some believe that the way to make that happen is mindless test drill. The positive effect of writing is counterintuitive to what many educators believe to be true. Writing is a cognitive process that allows teachers to not only assess students, but to plan appropriate instructional strategies that will most benefit that student. ... Read more

okay
Detailed, easy to understand. No mention of scientific research on how effective this program is though.

Very Helpful
I used this book with my social skills class for 6th graders. The lessons and activities are easy to use and understand. I adapted some of them to make them more interesting. The lessons relate to all students no matter race or economic class.

I am a mental health therapist who works with adolescents with a variety of mental health needs, primarily deficient in how to perform socially with others and within community, school, etc. This book offers a simple interactive approach that reaches children/adolescents by incorporating a learning component and an interactive component. So far the social skills group I facilitate has enjoyed the use of each lessons in this book.

This book is great teenagers in a group setting. It provided a lot of reproductable activites which identify the needs of the children. The material was easy for the children to read and comphend.This was a great investment!!!!!!

quick and easy!
I love all of the ready to use social skill books. I am a school social worker for prek-8 school district, so as busy as I am, I love that these activities are right there with little preparation!

My only complaint is that these books used to be spiral-bound which makes it easier to photocopy activities. They are not spiral-bound anymore, but either way great purchase for school social workers and counselors!

COMICS SHOULD BE IN COLOR
Part of my disappointment is that I didn't look at the inside of the book to find out that the comics
were in black and white. I guess I should have realized that because it does say that they comics
are reproducible.Very disappointing that they were not in color.Have not given it to the grandchildren yet but I bought other historical comics that are in color so I think this one will be a disappointment.It was to me.

Grandson reads
This American history comic is a good introduction to history for my home-schooled 7 year old grandson. He certainly will read it - he really likes these illustrated books. He was very enthusiastic when he said thank you.

Good Info but. . .
This book is VERY informative and complete.But, the description as "comic Books" is not exactly right. I would have bought it anyway but it is an exaggerated description. . . It is more halfway like a comic book item.Just trying to help.

Kids love this!
I teach 5th graders S.S.They love learning history in comic book format especially my reluctant readers.There are 5 short comphrension questions at the end of the stories.This is one book I use often. ... Read more
