"""This is the most comprehensive set of literacy activities I have seen in one book!"" - Dannah Fritz Co-Owner of Jacksonville Tutoring Specialists, Advanced Certified in Barton & Accredited IEW Instructor ""As an SLP, I highly recommend Dean's HOT ROD Activity Books to my colleagues! I love these books because they simultaneously target articulation, oral language, and literacy skills. It's a comprehensive tool that not only improves speech but also supports overall language development! This is a must-have for any SLP!"" - Ellen Cieszkiewicz Rigg, M.A. CCC-SLP, A/OGA What a powerful tool for anyone supporting learners! The Comprehension section includes practical strategies to assist learners as they explore texts. Students' comprehension will be supported by using the PAGES framework to help them think critically about the text they're reading. This chapter also gives learners signal words and practice paragraphs to help determine what type of text they're reading. Dean's story ""Bats and Their Amazing Skills"" is followed by comprehension questions and the opportunity to cite and explain an answer using the RACE framework. Students' skills and confidence will grow if they utilize these strategies."" -Jolene Gutierrez, M.L.S., author of Too Much! An Overwhelming Day, teacher/librarian at Denver Academy, a school for neurodivergent learners including those with dyslexia"
