Reviews: “This is a great resource for any teacher. I found The Bookmaking Experience offered practical ideas to keep learning active, meaningful and owned by the students. As we strive to reach the whole child while simultaneously meeting standards and achieving test scores, this book reminds teachers that they can accomplish those goals! Learning can still be fun. The book creations allow a magical unfolding of student imagination, an investment of self, and development of personal skill. Teachers at any grade level can utilize these strategies in order to have the human being present in the creation of understanding.” Rhonda M.
