I have other books in the "More Than" series, and have been waiting and hoping the authors would write one for the Language and Literacy category. This one is just as excellent as the others in the series. It tells you ways to use materials and make materials and games for literacy centers in your classroom. The book also covers group and individual activities and take home activities (literacy suitcases). I highly recommend the "More Than" series to every Pre-K and K teacher.

If you are a preschool, special education, Kindergarten or first grade teacher, then this book is for you! Sally Moomaw and Brenda Hieronymus are both professors at the Arlitt Child and Family Research and Education Center at the University of Cincinnati. The book is chock-full of literacy ideas for your classroom that are EFFECTIVE, appealing to kids, and just plain fun. There are assessment forms in the back to use with your class, and many of the literacy ideas can be adapted to any book you choose. No fluff, just practical stuff. You'll be happy you have this book and all of their other books in your arsenal of resources!

This book, along with every book in the series, is excellent. The books are filled with activities that really interest kids, and all are easy for teachers to present. I use these books almost daily!

I'm a pre-k teacher and this book is full of wonderful and useful ideas! I highly recommend this book! It does have more pre-k and kindergarten ideas than 1st grade though, so it might not be as beneficial for 1st grade teachers.

"More Than" series has a good selection of items appropriate for PK-1st Grade to engaged and interact with your students.

This is an excellent source of information if you have preschool or kindergarten age children in your home or classroom. I am studing to be an early childhood educator and have used this book many times to get ideas, for setting up a classroom and getting lesson plan ideas.

I teach in a Head Start Program. Like children in every classroom, I see a range of literacy skills. This book TRULY offers ideas for individualizing for those different levels. I did not rate it a 4 because I found a deficiency, but because I do not personally believe anything is perfect. Yet, this is pretty good....Go to the bookstore and check it out yourself...

I'm a sophomore and an Early Childhood Education major. I am currently in a class, teaching five year olds reading comprehension and I have found a couple of useful activities in this book.
