Editor's Notes
- Why did New Readers Press ask me to write this book? They want an instructional perspective.
- We did not field test every lesson in the book, but several of them. Meet: Shannon, Geri, Antonio, & Tiffany. My other learners didn’t want their pictures taken!
- This is scaffolding to help learners know what to expect & what is expected of them.
- Check or review pre-requisite knowledge.
- Let’s read this twice: two different readers. After we’ve read it: Any words to define? (Regulated, Militia, Arms, infringed) What do you think this means?
