Book Jewel of the Month: 365 Teacher Secrets for Parents (McKinley & Trombly)
What is a book jewel? A sometimes-overlooked book with remarkable insight and potential significance. Each month, we share near-daily, or as often as possible, reviews of the monthly book jewel - short, succinct reviews that can be read in 1-2 minutes with links to the reviewer by reviewers whose words are worthy of being heard and whose opinions are worthy of being considered. Sometimes a couple of minutes contains more impressive thought than ten times that many. We will let you decide that.
This month's book jewel is 365 Teacher Secrets for Parents by Alder & Trombly.
Description:
This reference book, written by two experienced and successful (and, frankly, brilliant and talented) elementary school teachers, provides a day-by-day set of practical ideas and activities that parents can do at home with their elementary school-age children to help them become better students while also having fun.
Review by Amanda on Amazon:
This book is designed for parents at home, but I think that it would be a good resource book for teachers too; especially new teachers who want to know what they can say to parents who want to know how to help at home. I appreciated how this book was organized, with solid advice for every day of the year listed under 12 categories. It's the type of book that you could either pick up, flip through, and find good ideas while browsing the pages, or you could also search the table of contents to find a particular subject. The only drawback to this book, is that the activities aren't listed according to age and ability level. Parents may not know what is developmentally appropriate, and may try an activity that is too advanced for their child.
