Thorough, thoughtful teaching notes accompany each card, and the task cards are also reprinted 2 to a page at the back of each book for easy photocopying. These full page lessons guide younger readers to success, step by illustrated step, while moving older students toward learning independence. And our careful teaching notes make these books easy to use, even for teachers and parents with no science background. They provide enough space to fully structure student activity. The easier books in this series have space for students to respond on the same activity sheet.
More advanced books use the entire page for instruction, with students responding on separate paper.
All manner of reproducible forms, thoughtfully organized and playfully illustrated, will help you establish and maintain class order so you can devote more of your time and attention to real teaching. These Job Cards meet the needs of primary students K-6 with diverse reading skills and ability levels. You first demonstrate each lesson, introducing the simple instructions and bold graphics. Then your students can independently launch their own investigations into a wide range of developmentally appropriate activities, rich with diversity and choice. We've adapted all activities to stand alone and fit a half-page format.
