“The writing and interpreting models activity sheets are terrific, covering many areas of student learning using pictures, sounds, and hands-on activities. For the third grader who has a somewhat limited grasp of vocabulary but an endless supply of motivation, this diverse collection of methods will feed the visual, auditory and kinesthetic regions of the brain. The video applies practical knowledge to ideas that are out of this world.”
