Great resource for homeschoolers L. Simmons Great resource for homeschoolers! My daughter is a third grader and many of the organizers are appropriate for her although it's probably most useful for older students--grades 5-9, in my opinion. Many would be useful overcoming "writer's block" or procrastination on research projects. The organizers are attractive and can be copied for use. The author provides helpful samples of filled-out organizers, although the writing in the samples is small and thus difficult to read. My fav. Best for English teachersfor a science teacher, not so much. In my opinion, this book is mostly suited for English teachers. Some of the graphic organizers were general enough to be used in my science classroom, but not enough to justify the purchase.. Five Stars Great visual resource to teacher process and thought management.
