This review is from: Kevin Knows the Rules: Introduces Classroom Rules To Kindergarten Through Third Grade Students (Paperback)

I bought this book hoping that it would help with my introducing class rules to my kindergarteners. I am sooo happy that I bought it. It brings a poster which I laminated and keep near my teaching area. I always refer back to it to remind students how Kevin followed a certain rule. I always ask them if they look like Kevin looks on the poster when they are sitting on the rug. They all want to follow the rules just like Kevin does.

The book is a bit pricey for a paperback but it really is worth the money. This a very good classroom management tool that is well worth the price.

Wonderfully written book. I bought it for my 7 yr. old who is starting second grade this year, we read it together to "get ready for big boy school" and he just loves it. It's a quiet time favorite at our house and I now hear him telling his little sister "the rules" and Kevin is our latest household hero!!!

What a great book! Straightfoward while still remaining entertaining and cute, this book makes introducing class rules so much easier. Each year I struggle to invent an effective way to introduce my class rules and make a visual to display. Now the work is done for me!! The illustrations in the poster are identical to the ones in the book, so even your non-readers will be able to "read" the poster that is included with the book for daily rule review. A must have!
