Title: Everything Has Its Uses
Product review: As a teacher with 33 years experience (pre-k through high school and even graduate courses for my colleagues) I appreciate an instant hit/life saver of a book when I REALLY need it. This book is simple enough for the very young and of high interest to the primary set. As a low vocabulary, high-interest predictable book it works. The topic may not be your choice, but I have found it of interest right on up through 6th grade. I'll admit there is no plot; it's non-fiction for the emergent reader. (All right, potty humor for the "tweens", or pre-adolescents.)Yesterday, I reached for a strategy too far with one of my 2nd grade reading groups. (I am a reading specialist K-3.) I needed a book to save the situation with my lowest reader. This was it! Today, I recouped with a great lesson on schema (prior knowledge) and making text-to-self connections!
