| Publisher Description: As Eggbert, an adventurous ball, bounces his way into some very strange places, your first-graders get practice with basic punctuation, spelling, and phonics. Story sentences on the CD are formatted one to a page so you can duplicate them easily or print them out as editing journals for your students. The cloze technique used throughout provides practice with consonant blending and diphthongs. For your convenience, the included supplemental CD contains the Caught'ya sentences formatted in Word for duplication, along with writing suggestions and activities, a complete and easy-to-use grammar reference with examples and teaching tips, and other helpful tools. |

Jane's most recent book is Teach Spelling So It Sticks. She is currently writing three new books.

In her three decades as a classroom teacher, Jane has served many years as various department chairpersons and grade-level chairperson. She is also a past president of the Alachua County Teachers of English. Jane has been recognized three times by "Who's Who Among America's Teachers." In 2002 she won Teacher of the Year for her school and Middle School Teacher of the Year for her county. Problem-solving Workshops for Teachers Jane's energy is contagious! Her workshops, seminars and invited presentations delight and rejuvenate teachers at all grade levels. Jane delivers practical, classroom-proven ideas to solve those yucky "must-do" situations all teachers face. Each presentation sparkles with Jane's insightful humor. Her seminars and symposium speaking topics are shaped to fit the specific needs of schools and districts. |
