"This book makes discovering informal fallacies (fallacies of content, rather than form) fairly simple...book is modeled after medieval bestiaries. Each fallacy is drawn as a caricature of a mythical beast.The beast is described, as well as its appeal. Then, the authors use anecdotes to show how each beast behaves "in the wild." Each "adorable fallacy" is discussed in a matter of just a few pages....Each fallacy is followed up with a few short discussion questions, and an opportunity to identify these beasts in the field"--Web review.

"Offers effective strategies and activities for teaching phonics skills. Developed in response to the need for materials that support differentiated instruction in today's diverse classroom"--P. [4] of cover.

This series develops important comprehension and thinking skills at the earliest level. Each book contains stories with exercises that follow the same phonetic structure as the Explode The Code series. Each story is preceded by writing and spelling activities that introduce new sight words and teach phonetic patterns.

Book 1 contains three charmingly illustrated stories Zack the Dog, Six Kids Jog, and Help 911 with introductory exercises on word families.
