Grades K-3 Consider the daunting challenge it is for younger children to learn how to spell. A few letters, so many sounds. How do you teach THAT? A lot more easily if you read this book. Liz Simon provides a "how-to" spelling manual that's based on solid theory and strong in "classroom-ready" suggestions. Her developmental approach covers all the bases of the three different types of spellers–symbol and sound spellers, word spellers, and language spellers–whether they're native speakers, English language learners, or special education students. Most importantly, Liz Simon creates a context. Students are not simply spellers, but writers. Spelling is not just a subject, it's their best tool. In addition to classroom strategies, her book is loaded with reproducible forms, exercises, reinforcement activities, and numerous other materials and procedures to keep you and your students on track. These include: 
<ul>
<li>ready-made assessment and recording sheets </li>
<li>self-help spelling strategy map </li>
<li>divergent thinking cards </li>
<li>word form explanations </li>
<li>an example of a shared reading weekly plan </li>
<li>spelling generalizations section </li>
<li>a handwriting program integrated into the learning of sounds and symbols </li>
<li>step-by-step guides to related computer programs </li>
<li>glossary of terms. </li> </ul>
Poor spelling can inhibit children from writing. Get them to write, and write well from the start, with the right spelling. Start with Strategic Spelling.

BowlFood Cookbook

People love bowl food. Bowl food is comfort food. It's soup for supper, or a hearty stew or creamy risotto. Bowl food is everything together--no segregated blue plate special with the meat here and the starch there and the vegetable over there, but all of it intermingling in a delicious matrix of taste and texture. Bowl food is eating your whole dinner with a spoon or chopsticks. It's casual, fun, and somehow it just tastes better. Lynn Aronson, one of America's "best young chefs" (Esquire), not only adores bowl food but has elevated it to a new level in her celebrated Manhattan restaurants, Lola and Lola Bowla. Now Ms. Aronson, along with fellow-chef and Lola Bowla alumna Elizabeth Simon, translates her vision of bowl food into a passionate cookbook with 200 dazzling, eclectic recipes. Bucking tradition and borrowing freely from cuisines East and West, BOWLFOOD COOKBOOK presents Soups and Stews: Lamb with Orzo and Curry Broth, Stewed Short Ribs, Thai Paella. Noodles and Pasta: Penne with Zucchini and Tomato Garlic Vinaigrette, Corn and Crab Tagliatelle, Peanut Noodles with Chicken and Shrimp, Capellini with Clams and Lobster Broth. Salads, Legumes, and Grains: Seared Steak Salad with Roasted Tomatoes, Braised Duck Risotto with Spicy Ginger Broth. Plus dumplings, desserts, sauces, broths--a boundlessly inventive world of food, and it all goes in a bowl.
