As a college English teacher, I have never taught grades 4-8, the target group for this book. I discovered it by accident, and yet, even before finishing chapter three, I had decided to incorporate "Helping Students Write the Best Research Reports EVER!" as a supplementary text in all of my college research, speech, and writing classes.

Oh! how I wish every student I've ever taught could have had the benefit of learning research writing from Lois Laase and Joan
Clemmons. Most young people come to college without a clue to the excitement of discovery inherent in any research project.

The best way to learn anything is to teach it. Teaching college students how to teach research to children while learning research techniques from college textbooks is a wonderful way to introduce them to the wonderment and fascination of information-gathering.

So if you are a teacher of writing or speech at any level from grade school through college, you will find this book an astonishing treasure trove of ideas and specific lesson plans to help students begin a journey that will benefit them for the rest of their lives.

I can hardly wait for my fall writing, research, & speech classes to begin so that I can incorporate this book into my curriculum.

By the way, if you are a home-schooling parent, this book will help you spark enthusiasm for learning in ways you've never even thought of. It is a teaching and learning treasure.
