NWFCC Virtual Book Tour - for RENEE HAND

 
Today I Have the Pleasure of Hosting Author
Renee Hand

Welcome to day three of Renee Hand’s 6-day NWFCC
May Author Showcase tour, as she discusses how
Mineral Mischief can be used in the classroom. 

 Case#2 Mineral Mischief

Tradebook Tips for Teachers from
Award-Winning Author Renee Hand

Teachers can use Mineral Mischief in so many ways. In the back of the book I’ve included lots of educational information that teachers can use in the classroom to further understanding of rocks and minerals. I also add a diagram of the rock cycle, which can be referred to at anytime.

I’ve created various experiments where students can make predictions by using various charts. Terminology is included in the back as well as a ‘Did You Know’ section. I also incorporate a discussion about bullying, which one of the characters is involved with. The character also finds a solution to this problem which all children can benefit from.  The information that I have in the book can be used to fill the National Standards requirement for this topic.

BOOKS - Guaranteed to HOOK KIDS on READING!

Take Note of These 3 Authors:

Lynn Garthwaite - Kaleb Nation - Renee Hand.

These authors write books that will GRAB
your reluctant reader's interest.

BOY'S TOO!

*************************

If your reluctant reader is a young teen, drop

Bran Hambric - the Fairfield Curse,
by Kaleb Nation, on his bedside table.

Bran Hambric was found locked in a bank vault at six years old, with no memory of his past. For years, he has lived with one of the bankers, wondering why he was left behind -- until one night, when he is fourteen, he is suddenly confronted by a maddened creature, speaking of Bran’s true past and trying to kidnap him. ....................That's what I call baiting the HOOK!

*************************

For younger readers,
HOOK them on books by these 2 Authors:

Lynn Garthwaite's,
"Dirkle Smart's" Adventure Series

Dirkle has his own web page, where he shows kids where to go for the Books, Fun Stuff , about the Characters + lots MORE. Available from AMAZON

Lynn told me this: "Kids who are just learning to read on their own need to find something fun and interesting, so they understand how much fun books can be. I write the kind of books I liked to read when I was that age: anything with a secret, a hidden room, transport to a magical land, or the discovery of something that had been hidden for hundreds of years.

Those kinds of books just sucked me right in."

ME TOO!
