Education & Teaching
Review:This is one of the few things from childhood that has stood up over time. It is as cute and funny as it was when I was a little girl. I look forward to sharing it with my own daughter when she is old enough to enjoy it. Read more
Review:I have nearly finished Shapiro's book and the most striking thing about it is the ease with which he shows American university professors to be fools, by using their own words. I teach at a public university in Canada, where all universities are public universities, and most university faculty have socialist tendancies, so I have some sense of the difficulties that conservative thinkers face in the academic community. While Shapiro may have put forward some of the most blantant examples of pr... Read more

Review:A cute and inexpensive graduation gift for high school graduates. I just flipped through it and read the reviews ~ I didn't read the whole book. It has a lot of pertinent topics for college kids (i.e., managing money, drinking, roommates, etc.). For the grads that we knew very well, we put a check inside, for kids that were not close friends, it was good to have something inexpensive to give as a gift. I would recommend it. Read more
Review:A very useful book for the basic information needed. It condenses the material to a manageable level. The only complaint I have is the amount of material covered. I would have liked to have seen more. Read more
Review:I had high hopes for "Paying for College Without Going Broke" by Kal Chaney. I have a freshman in private university and was rather shocked by the financial aid process as it exists today versus many years ago when I attended college. I read through the book, which is geared more towards parents and students approaching college years. The book does point out some strategies and tactics, but large portions of the book provide step by step instructions for filling out tax and college financial ... Read more
Review:After borrowing the 2009 version from the library, I purchased this 2012 edition. I am impressed with the book's emphasis on planning ahead. It is easy to read, suggestions are plentiful and I highly recommend it for parents with children in middle school or just starting high school. My first takeaway from the book was learning about the first base income year which starts when the child is midway through their junior year of high school. Second was learning how to improve the chances of gettin... Read more

Review:This book really helped me with my word work instruction during my Daily 5 & CAFE. I love the word sorts & PD Toolkit. I used the website to track & group my students. I use the electronic word sorts when demonstrating the procedures. Read more
Review:If you want letter tracing pages, this is the book for you! It's not exciting at all - it includes simple black and white pages with a small picture of something that begins with the letter to be traced. I have noticed that the colorless, simple format is actually less distracting than some of the other, more colorful work books. My just-turned-4 year old isn't exactly thrilled with this book, but it gives him something to do while he waits on his brother to finish his homework. Read more
