Anchor: A Handbook of Classroom Ideas to Motivate the Teaching of Intermediate Language Arts
reviewed on + 46 more book reviews


This small book has 7 sections(number of ideas):
Play with Words(45),
Word Analysis (with 3 subsections: Phonics(13), Spelling(8), Word Structure(9)),
Dictionary Skills(8),
Word Meanings(32),
Word Usage(10),
Word Puzzles and Brain Teasers(49), and
Activities for Special Needs(17).

Each idea gives a grade or span of grades for which it would be acceptable. Many of these ideas could be converted quickly and easily to a homemade worksheet, game, or bulletin board.

Cover says The SPICE Series.

Although there are few or no pictures, this would be a good book to use instead of The Mailbox Magazine.
