I think this would be an appropriate read for any 2nd to 4th grade class. For those same grades, you could teach a lesson on compound words. Before reading, you would discuss what a compound word is, share some examples and explain how you know the definition of each words by using context clues. Wh...

This book is excellent in having AMPLE scenarios of cause and effects! I would use this not only in a whole group, but also in a small grou...
