3.0 out of 5 stars Not much individuality, July 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 30 Collaborative Books for Your Class To Make and Share! (Grades K-2) (Paperback)

Students are given a cute picture with all the words already written and a blank space for the student to write one or two words. While this book may be great for kindergarten or even preschool, I have found it is not challenging enough for first graders.

This book gives a teacher many great ideas to use in writing books with children. Many of the patterns are very easy to reproduce and are helpful.

I have used this book many times! It offers great pictures and templates. The children love to have teachers read their work and connect it with the theme you may be working on....I give it an A+ Laura Black
