You’re an author/illustrator and create a new book that kids are ready to dive into. Or let’s say you’re a teacher/librarian who found a new book that your kids are eating up. How can you make the story even more engaging? More educational? More fun? The answer: a teaching guide that gives the tools needed to use that book in a particular content area, to teach a specific skill, or to help kids plunge deeper into the themes and take-aways of the story. Says who? Says Deb Gonzales, the queen of the teaching guide.
An author herself, and a 35-year veteran of the classroom, she ought to know. Check out her website to see her 300+ guides with standards aligned, ready-to-use synopses, questions, activities, and materials for any educator to be able to pull out and use at a moment’s notice. The guides not only can be found individually on her site, but can also be found grouped in themes for teachers to look at collectively.
As that former teacher and current author, Deb knows that authors/illustrators need to make their work easily accessible to teachers as a time saving tool, and students need engaging books and extensions that give them choice and creative power. The guides give you the power to connect and collect whatever is needed to make books the ultimate teaching tool in your classroom or library.
