A practitioner-friendly classroom resource, Dr. James Bucky Carter and Erik Evensen’s Super-Powered Word Study is a breath of fresh air for middle-level teachers who want to not only engage their young-adult students, but also empower them to love word study. Innovative and groundbreaking, Dr. Carter and Evensen’s book uses 15 mini-comics to support the theory and provide the classroom lesson-plan activities teachers and students can use for 15 weekly word-study activities. In other words, teaching roots, suffixes, and affixes has just become a whole lot easier and—best of all!—more fun!
Students and teachers will not only enjoy the highly interactive, teacher-friendly writing style of Dr. Carter, but also the new, creative and well-illustrated mini-comics of Evensen, for both writers have the students’ interests and motivations in mind. And, as a result, teachers now have a resource that better helps them reach out to their modern, more image-literate students while also teaching their standard word study curriculum.
Further, Super-Powered Word Study also offers enrichment activities and an interactive and teacher-friendly DVD (complete with all the mini-comics, games, activities, and assessments mentioned in the book).
