This 5th edition teacher guide has been updated to provide even more helpful information for the teacher. It follows a four-part teaching cycle: Engage, Instruct, Apply, and Assess. A new feature of this edition is suggestions for differentiated instruction. These suggestions will fall into one of three categories:
ELL (English Language Learner): These are intended to accommodate students whose first language is not English.
Targeted reinforcement: These activities are intended to benefit struggling readers. Or students who would benefit from instruction in a different learning style.
Enrichment: These are for students who master the material and need an additional challenge.
There are two parts (books) in this spiral-bound teacher edition. Part 1 covers chapters 1-13 and Part 2 covers 14-24. A lesson plan overview makes it easy to see what should be covered every day. The student text is duplicated, but also has marked teaching instructions and prompts for the teacher to follow. ~Amber
