order information

You planted a garden of jelly beans. What did they look like when they sprouted?

Disguised as play, the prompts in the reading and writing On the Chalkboard™ books cover a wide range of important reading and writing skills and topics: story writing, figurative language, compare/contrast, attribute listing, brainstorming, sentence writing, analogies, wordplay, vocabulary, spelling, and more. Because there are no right or wrong answers, students feel free to have fun with their language. And while they are having a good time, they are also practicing many of the language skills they need to know and master.

On the Chalkboard™ books for reading and writing provide 180 thought-provoking daily prompts that build critical and creative thinking skills. Each book contains a year's worth of stimulating challenges and practical suggestions for using them with students. The activities are arranged in an easy-to-use, weekly format. Graphic organizer patterns are provided.

The prompts are suitable for either individual or group work. These great motivators can spark interest at the beginning of class; provide a wrap-up at the end of a lesson; or fill spare moments with fun, worthwhile activities.
