OK.... but.......2007-10-24
So when do the school boards also provide textbooks from the other major religions of the world and of other citizens of the US? Seems to be very one-sided unless these other books are in the works. Oh and by the way. How about something that talks about the 14,000,000 citizens of the US who have NO RELIGION at all? How about talking about their contributions to our society as well?

A reasonable survey and a positive presentation.......2007-06-04
I purchased this somewhat expensive but beautifully printed secondary school textbook because of an article which appeared in TIME during March 2007. The article was entitled "The Case for Teaching the Bible". I was encouraged that a book had been produced for the use of Bible in Literature courses in American Public High Schools.
The writers have given a reasonable survey of the contents of the 66 books of the Protestant Canon of Old and New Testaments in the Christian Bible. The presentation is essentially a version without historical critical undertones and without religious overtones. It is strong on the social influence of the Bible in American life.
If one wants the historical critical and religious perspectives there are the standard introductions by such writers as Bernhard Anderson and Lawrence Boadt on the Old Testament and Raymond Brown and David DeSilva on the New Testament. Indeed, if one seeks these perspectives at a similar level to The Bible and Its Influence, I would think that the introductions of John Drane would fill the gaps.
All in all, this is a positive presentation of the Bible that will go a long way to encourage secondary and early tertiary students to read the content of the Bible in a modern English translation with thoughtful understanding of its relevance down through the years.
Student Text Review.......2007-05-12
The book is an excellent attempt to cover Biblical principles and theory without using the book to convert or modify the readers present theological beliefs. It is approached from a historical basis and has the purpose to educate the student about the Holy Book called the Bible. It is well written with many interesting facts spread throughout the chapters to peak ones interest. Appears to be well balanced for a book that is trying to stay within guide lines for a public school curriculum. As our society becomes more open to the teaching of basic religious concepts/beliefs in the Holy Books, I can perceive that it would be a key component of a series of such texts that included other religions as well or texts that delved deeper into the books major topics(New Testament Study Or The Life Of Jesus etc.). Overall, an excellent beginning to educate without being over zealous .... students of all backgrounds will benefit.
Excellent Bible Textbook.......2007-01-02
This book can provide a valuable education to middle and high school students. A 43 page preview can be read at by going to books dot google dot com and then typing in the title of this book. If you are on the fence about buying this book you should try the google book search to read the very generous preview. Schools can request an evaluation copy by contacting the publisher at sales at bibleliteracy dot org.
How to study the Bible academically.......2006-11-10
This wonderful textbook, intended for use by high school students, contains much background information on the Bible. These details not only give the stories of the Bible context but show their relevance to today. I have been a student of the Bible all my life, yet I learned new things reading this book. The examples of biblical art and the sidebars on cultural connections are especially interesting. For those who teach teens in Sunday School, this book is a very helpful guide.

Different Brains, Different Learners.......2005-08-28
A great book for teachers as well as parents. It helps to understand what is or may be happening in the brain. I like the recommendations given on ways we can help alleviate stressful events under given conditions.
Lacking.......2003-01-21
This book lacks the depth it seems to promise. Some of the illustrations are lacking. There is not enough meat to help anyone with special needs learners. I would suggest you look elsewhere. I was greatly disappointed since the majority of work by Jensen is wonderful.
Essential reading for all teachers.......2001-09-10
Eric Jensen knows the needs of busy teachers and has the gift in helping them to utilize up-to-date knowledge in brain studies. Here it is applied to identifying 10 types of different learners: 1. impulsive ones with ADD, 2. resigned with learned helplessness, 3. challenged reader with dyslexia, 4. argumentative with oppositional disorder, 5. frustrated with learning delayed, 6. hyperactive, 7. with auditory-processing deficits, 8. out of control, 9. the demotivated with chronic threat and distress, and 10. depressed and troubled.
You are given a pre-test and a post-test of 10 unique students to see if you can identify the patterns of symptoms rather than isolated behaviors. There are many color-prints of corresponding brain-images and graphic charts that facilitate learning. Brief summaries of treatment methods, supplementary resources on books, websites and organizations are given on each type. All teachers should acquire such general background knowledge so that the unqiue needs and gifts of students can be respected.
Book Description
Teens love this Bible because its articles are more indepth, it touches on topics deeply important to them, and it speaks in language they can understand. This revised edition includes a concordance, sixty more articles to help young people pray, study, and live the Bible, an expanded lectionary reading plan, nine full-color maps, eight reading plans, four special indexes, a full-color timeline, and four pages of full-color maps.

Catholic Youth Bible.......2007-10-11
We were very pleased with these books as we use them with our youth group. They are written well and are easy for the students to use.
Catholic Youth Bible.......2007-10-10
This is an awesome Bible for kids- especially young teens. We give them to our 6th graders each year and they use it for study through high school.
We have always purchased them through the publisher and they have become quite costly. By buying through Amazon, I saved over $300.00! Yes, I will check here for purchases in the future.
Not only for youth!.......2007-09-29
We have been using this version of the Bible for people entering into the Catholic Faith (RCIA). Everyone loves it. It not only explains the meaning of passages but offers insight into the teaching and traditions of the Catholic Faith and has prayers tucked here and there. Also, it applies the biblical message to different situations, cultures and ethnicities. Add all that up and you have a bible that is easy to read and understand and a way to understand Catholic teaching.
Great Bible!
Ordered for school.......2007-09-20
I ordered this book last minute for my daughter (who didn't know it was a requirement until after school started.) It came in a timely manner which is what we needed. The book stores in the area did not have it on hand.
The Catholic Youth Bible Revised.......2007-09-10
My son needed this book for school and we received in time for school. Great service!

No answer key?.......2007-05-07
This is a decent algebra 2 workbook but I don't recommend it because there is no answer key.
A terrible book.......2006-11-30
I'm working out of this book in high school these days - I actually am in high school but I used the kid's review because I've no account - but it's really the worst math textbook I have ever used. It gives practice problems with certain factors that are not explained in the text. In its attempt to teach methods, it provides examples with little or no explanation of how to perform the steps. It recieves two stars only because you can sometimes figure out how to complete a problem by looking up the answers to the odd questions in the back of the book. If you, like me, are being forced to study from this book, do yourself a favor and take great notes in class.

this product came quickly and is well. however, i got it for a college class and then found out i wouldn't really br using it in class.
Good Activities.......2006-08-16
This book has pretty good math activities. I like the way the books chapters are divided different types of math, i.e. sorting, place value, etc.
Tied For First .......2006-08-10
Here we find Weber State's Dr. Charlesworth showing us again how to put together a fine student-friendly textbook (What else really works?)
So, so, so many pictures and graphics to interact with in this book!!! Sperry Smith's math early childhood book may do the same at a smaller price, but this book out does everyone else in terms of "showing AND telling".
The best part about this book is how it chooses to see science and math as inseparable concepts. I love that idea because children will eventually see this connection when they get to middle and high school math, science, biology, physics, and chemistry classes. Why not start the connecting process during the early childhood years?
If you can swallow the near $100 price, this book will do well...otherwise your safe with Sperry Smith's more economical text.

teachers love it.......2000-06-26
My Head Start teachers loved this book when it was used in their CDA class, they found it very helpful and full of ideas.
Book Description
For kindergartners and first graders who need extra work on their early literacy skills, this proven plan for teaching phonemic awareness and letter-sound correspondence is a teacher's best friend. Expert researchers created this developmentally sequenced, 11-week program in order to give students repeated opportunities to practice and enhance their beginning reading and spelling abilities. Each of the 44, 15 to 20 minute lessons features a "say-it-and-move-it" activity, a letter name and sound instruction exercise, and phonological awareness practice.
Perfect for small groups or individual instruction, this program is easy for teachers to use and understand because detailed scripted instructions and reproducible materials - such as picture cards, letter cards, and games - are provided. And teachers have the flexibility to shorten or extend the amount of time it takes for a student to complete the program. With this all-in-one resource, educators will have everything they need to get their students off to a great start in reading.

Perfect condition.......2007-06-11
The book cam quickly in the mail and was exactly as described. Thank you!
Great organized program.......2007-05-19
I am impressed by the organization of this phonological awareness program. I have just started using it with Kindergarten children who need more help developing PA. They love the game-like, quick exercises and are learning the difference between a sound and a letter name. I use a dolphin puppet for Fix-it which the children look forward to seeing every time we meet.
Crack the Code.......2006-03-12
Road to the Code is just loaded with information and ideas for use in the classroom. Begins at the beginning with phonological awareness activities and prodeeds forward. Great source for instruction and differentiation. Super !!!
Road to the Code.......2006-03-01
I think this is a great program for teaching phonemic awareness. It has almost everything that you need. I would recommend it to anyone working with young children or those with special needs that are struggling with reading readiness.
outstanding.......2006-02-28
Rode to the Code gave me a great program on how to help my struggling students with phonemic awareness. Over time, these students began to understand the big picture of what reading is all about. We are matching letters and sounds and recognizing rhyming words and rhyming word parts. Thank you Rode to the Code!

Useful for Middle/ High School Librarians.......2007-09-20
I bought this book for a class in selecting YA literature. The book gives practical information but, some of the websites mentioned are no longer available.
An Excellent Resource.......2006-07-01
This is one textbook I actually enjoy reading! If you are interested in Young Adult literature, either from an educator's or a parental perspective, this book is a great place to learn more. Of course, being a textbook, there is a section on the history of the genre, but it's actually interesting. But the best feature of this book is the the Focus Boxes which list current titles with brief summaries as examples of each format and genre. Also useful is a chronological list of award-winning books which appears near the beginning of the book. This is one text I plan to keep, then replace with newer editions as they are published.
Excellent Resource for anyone interested in YA Lit.......2006-01-30
This textbook type book is an easy read, full of information regarding young adult characteristics in appealing writings, the growth and development of young adult literature and excellent listings, bibliographies and related web sites. Anyone working with young adults and literature will find this book a treasure.
A very good resource........2002-07-25
Literature for Today's Young Adults, by Aleen Pace Nilsen and Kenneth L. Donelson, Sixth Edition. I purchased this book for a class in adolescent literature, and have found to be the book very good and very thorough. The book includes many chapters about modern adolescent literature and their various controversies. Besides being an interesting book, I found it very thorough because it includes varied points of view, and includes many articles written by the authors themselves who write novels for young adults.
Literature for Today's Young Adults.......2002-07-10
Having graduated from high school in 1979, I found my insights into teen literature to be prehistoric at best. As a "utility classroom teacher," I have to keep up with a variety of subjects. This book is a great help to anyone who needs to get a grasp of Young Adult literature, an important topic.
In an age when teens face, more than ever, the difficult issues the world places at their door, (drug and alcohol usage, sexuality, health and family conflict)any teacher entering the reading classroom should be familiar with literature that is current, educational and helpful. This volume provides insight into current authors and trends in Young Adult literature, as well as reviewing "old standards" and interviewing authors. It is an extremely helpful book for anyone who must not only educate but also provide guidance.
