reproducibles...$22.00
The premise of these materials is to introduce all types of information that are somehow connected to the colors red, green, blue, yellow, black, white, silver, and gold. For example, they'll be reading about figurative expressions such as "rolling out the red carpet," "blackballed," and "yellow journalism." They'll read about the Green Mountain Boys, yellow fever, the Red Cross, the blue whale, and "White Christmas." The reading passages range from three or four lines to full pages. The assignments include learning to discern between literal and figurative meanings, acquiring new vocabulary, answering questions that relate to the text, counting how many times a given color was used on a page, and rendering opinions about the facts that were presented. Includes text, worksheets, tests and answer key. Reproducible. Reading level 3.5-4.0.

We wrote this newspaper that has articles from the past, present, and future. In the same issue students can be reading about Kennedy's assassination, a review from a food critic traveling the Oregon Trail, the arrival of ground forces in Saigon, an ad for a trip on the Mayflower, and how one family was sentenced for violating the strict trash laws of the future. The classified ads are looking for a troll and Washington Irving or trying to sell Hannibal's goat-skin tents. Many of the articles and ads are written with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Also included are worksheets and review tests, of course. While the articles in Read Paper provide some imaginative and creative reading, the assignments teach about newspapers, develop vocabulary, allow the students to compare past, present and future events, encourage them to use their local newspapers, provide writing and research assignments, and give them practice in reading for detailed information on everything from the abdication of King Edward to the strict environmental laws of the future.

COME ON, NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED!

reproducibles ...$22.00

This text covers some of the interesting myths of different cultures. It includes everything from how human sacrifice among the Aztecs might have started to such mythological characters as Zeus and Beowulf. The short and easy-to-read sections also deal with what makes a hero and some of the common threads found in myths, legends, and folktales. In the last section we cover how so-called myths have grown up around the likes of John Kennedy, Elvis, and James Dean. The worksheets require locating specific answers, rendering opinions, and comparing things found in the myths and legends of the past to the modern world in which the students live. Includes reproducible text, worksheets, and answer key.

HIGH INTEREST-LOW VOCABULARY READING BOOKS:

We know the vocabulary is low in the following titles; whether or not the books interest the kids is a decision they, rather than we, can make.

All books are 64 or 48 page paperbacks, are 5x7 and have color covers, unlike most of our other titles. Guides contain the usual reading comprehension questions, story summaries, and are reproducible. The books are not.
