Teacher Essential 5 by .. A. Sullivan (Graham, WA USA)
This text is invaluable. As a Title 1 teacher, I use it frequently to target those specific deficit skills. No longer must I depend upon memory or a workbook to provide key words for targeted practice. As a classroom teacher, this text provides fabulous lists of words based upon skill-specific information. It aides the targeting of deficit areas, and is intuitive in its use. This text is a must have. I would spend much more time "inventing"(read here- trying to remember words that have the ____ sound) instead of simply listing words for target areas for intensive intervention. It is also a terrific gift for beginning teachers! Worth every penny.

Very Helpful and Useful 5 by .. Matthew T. Wentworth (Milford, PA United States)
The Reading TEacher's Book of Lists is good for any Elementary Teacher to have and use on a daily basis. There are lists of just about anything you need to teach reading. I found myself using this constantly in the classroom, right in front of the kids. Our spelling list was based on the use of silent letters. The kids wanted to know what other words there were, so we looked it up and came up with a large list to talk about.

I found that the students were having a hard time with certain word spellings during writing and looked up in the book the spelling demons. Together we made a list on chart paper to post in the room. Their spelling improved immeadiately because they just looked up at the wall and saw the words.

The book is truly made for teachers! It is well laid out and easy to locate certain lists for your given need.

great reference book 5 by .. B. Wilke (Berkley, MI)
This is the best reference book! Every year I buy one for my student teacher because I think it is so great. I use it to create challenge spelling lists using the same spelling pattern we are studying that week for my high achievers plus there are lots of great ideas in here.

Great Resource for Teachers 5 by .. Jan R. Culbertson (Ohio)
This is the second copy of the Book of Lists that I have purchased. My old one was so worn and falling apart after years of use that I wanted a new updated copy. I love this resource and use it almost daily in the classroom. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful addition to any home/school library 5 by .. Locasenora ()
We use this book with our students in school regularly. I bought a copy for my home. All four of my children (ages 10 - 17) refer to it time and again. It is a must for a home library. I keep it right next to the dictionary and thesaurus.

Sort of sappy 3 by .. N. Streuli ()
This is not a bad book. In fact, many people will probably think that it is a great book. I am a new teacher, but I just wasn't captivated by this book. It is a compilation of anecdotes by teachers telling their stories of inspiration and triumph. It's very true and inspiring, but it just felt a little like all of those teacher movies where they have tough challenges but in the end rise to the occasion and find a way to make a difference. Don't get me wrong, I love those kind of stories, but I've just heard them all a million times already at this point. I didn't feel like this book had much new to offer. If you're looking for a great inspirational story, I would recommend "Why Fly That Way?" by Katherine Greeley.

New Teacher Book 5 by .. D. J. Bennett ()
Interesting, insightful book full of good advice for new teachers. I thought it would be very liberal, very idealistic, but much of it is actually quite solid and interesting.

A great resource for new teachers! 5 by .. JG (New York)
I am currently working on my Master's in Teaching and Curriculum and this book was required reading...It has been a wonderful resource and it is very engaging!

Humane, compassionate teaching for the 21st century 5 by .. AGOYost, SJ (Tacoma, WA)
This book -- and the organization that sponsored it -- is truly forward-thinking in how the authors, all veteran teachers, view teaching, learning, and students. And considering how short it is, it's amazingly comprehensive. It covers many aspects of teaching, especially humane and productive discipline, making classrooms safe places for all learners, justice and inclusivity with regard to gender, race, etc., and many references to other more specialized books and resources for those who want to teach justly, fairly, and compassionately.

As a person who will be teaching high school for the first time this fall, I feel more confident and excited to teach after having read "The New Teacher's Book". (I may have more to say after the first few months of teaching, and putting these ideas into practice.)

Art Teacher's Must Have 5 by .. Got 2 Doodle (South Carolina)
This is a wonderful resource. To have this kind of information all in one place is a phenomenal aid to any art teacher! It is full of information and ideas! The book is well organized and very easy to read. I highly recommend it to any one interested in art.

Must Have Resource 5 by .. J. Stephens (Texas)
Wow!! I've found lists in this book I didn't even know I needed. There are lists covering everything from "100 Famous Paintings" to "Things to Do with markers". I teach art to young children and this book is a wonderful resource for me.

excellent 5 by .. L. Ader ()
New art appreciation teacher. Exactly what I needed to begin planning units for middle school

Out of date... 2 by .. Art Teacher 123 (usa)
This book is so out of date. This book is just what it says, a book of lists. There is nothing in this book that I couldn't find in about 30 seconds online. If you don't have a computer in your room then it would be a good resources, but if you use the internet then it is a complete waste of money.

Great...but out of date! 3 by .. E. Rogers ()
I have been teaching art for 10 years and refer to this book often when I need to find definitions, artists names and work, quotes, or quick ideas. But, now that the internet has become such a reliable source, it needs to be updated with websites that are helpful to the art teacher!!! I find myself looking on the internet for hours searching through all of the information. Wouldn't it be great to add a page or two to this book of lists!

LOVE THIS BOOK! 5 by .. L. Polfer (clermont, Florida United States)
I read the customer reviews before I bought this and had read a few saying that they've seen better. So I bought one of these and then two of the chicken noodle soup for the teacher's soul and its a collection of comics. This book was soooo much better than that one. This has preschool humor, teacher humor, student humor, in addition to just the silly things kids say and do. Its a riot and I wish I had bought three of these.

Not too good 1 by .. Don A. Helvick ()
Too expensive for what it is. The cartoons are only so-so. It does not have very many pages of cartoons.

Elementary, Middle, or High? 4 by .. ()
I received this wonderful book as a gift when I graduated with my master in teaching. It contains plenty of treasures, but I wanted to caution gift givers that the cartoons here are very heavy on the elementary school commentary. As a high school teacher, I didn't find a ton that were really applicable to my daily experiences. Still though, I've enjoyed flipping through it and chuckling at the lil'uns.

GREAT Teacher gift 5 by .. Sandra Sena (Bayside, NY United States)
I gave this book to my kids' teachers as well as to several family members. I have never had such enthusiastic thank you's from not just one, but 4 teachers! The book is clever and thoughtful and appreciated by the profession.

The New Yorker Book of Teacher Cartoons 5 by .. Robert J. Olness (San Francisco, CA)
Great stuff for teachers. I'm going to give it to my daughter who is a teacher.

Customer reviews

Great way to review and summarize material. 5 by .. Delirium (St. Louis, MO USA)
I'm a first-year math teacher in high school and I use this book very often. It's a great way to summarize the material for a review in general and before a test. It's an essential tool for a quick reference because it puts all the rules on a subject together on one page. For example, a page "Common Forms of Linear Equations" lists 6 equations: Standard form, Slope-Intercept form, Point-Slope form along with equations for Vertical Line, Horizontal Line and Slope-Intercept form passing through origin. When we did the unit on linear functions, this was a great way to put all that we have learned together and have a flash card for easy reference.

I would definitely recommend this book.

awesome 5 by .. J. Miles (fullerton, ca)
This book has so many good ideas and ways of teaching writing to students. I have found it very useful to use with my 3rd graders and I can see it being used in most all grades. The lists are fantastic and offer the children the vocabulary to make their writing more enjoyable to read.

Good Resource Book to Supplement other Texts 5 by .. R. Clarken (U.P. Michigan)
I taught English for nearly eight years before I found this book. Now, I use it regularly for a community ESL class I teach in my spare time. The lists of words and writing prompts are useful for students to remember the words they already know and learn a few other words that they haven't been exposed to yet. My students like the question writing prompts because they are very useful for starting great discussions.
This book can be used in many more ways too. I am going to use some to the lists in this book in my college-level English class for journal/free writing prompts. Often my students complaint that they don't know where to start on writing assignments, so the list of words and questions can prime the pump and get the sentences flowing onto the page.
This book and the others in the Book of Lists series are excellent resources for any teacher's personal library. They are great go-to staples for ideas on regularly covered topics.

An effective tool for teaching writing, BUT... 5 by .. z hayes (plano,texas)
The Writing Teacher's Book of Lists is a useful resource for teachers of writing, but it is more technical and perhaps better suited to beginning teachers who might appreciate the 90 useful lists for developing instructional materials, activities, teaching suggestions etc. I would recommend using this book together with another effective book on teaching writing titled, "Writing Process Activities Kit: 75 Ready-to-use Lessons & Worksheets for Grades 7-12".

great teaching tool 5 by .. M. McFarland ()
I found the information in this book to be very helpful in my classroom. There are great lessons on all different types of writing. They are very easy to follow and adaptable for different grade levels. Very useable.

  • Set goals

    i LOVE THIS BOOK !!! EASY TO READ AND EVEN EASIER TO APLLY WHEN U ARE A NEW TEACH

    Some good ideas 4 by .. S. Clark (Arizona)
    Geared for upper grades/ secondary. Not really meant for elementary teachers, due to content is going in the direction of older kids and how to deal with those types of situations. Just my opinion. Find it in the library and save the $$ for something different.

    First Time Teacher 5 by .. Nancy A. Crement ()
    Recepient very happy with my choice. She will be new to teaching in the Fall, 2008 and is excited to adopt these suggestions to her first classroom.

    Great for Secondary Teacher - not so much for Elementary level 3 by .. Amy Goodson (Bluff City, TN USA)
    I am thinking about going into the teaching field at the elementary level so for that aspect, this book doesn't really help. However it does help overall with the fear of becoming a teacher because I think every teacher has the same fears. The classroom, the students staring at them, the administration, etc. She does give some tips that would work with both elementary and secondary but these are very few. It really is for the secondary level. There was nothing in the title to suggest that the book was exclusive to the secondary level. I probably will keep this book mainly for a reference if I ever do decide to teach at the secondary level. For those of you only contemplating the elementary level, look elsewhere because you will be disappointed when all she talks about is writing out "referrals" for the disruptive teens.

    Amazing book 4 by .. D. Francisco (Hollywood, FL USA)
    Being a new teacher later in life really scared me to death, but this book helped to smooth the edges as I enter the classroom as a teacher for the first time. I am very happy that I ordered this book before I started to teach, it gave me some new ideas on connecting with the students and dealing with crises. I recommend it for all new teachers to read before standing up in front of that first classroom of students!

    If you like funny ones 4 by .. ()
    The book I read is called My Teacher Glows in the Dark. It was a really good book. The book was about a boy named Peter. He went into space with an alien named Broxholm. Peter spent five months with Broxholm. Peter decided to go with Broxholm into space. Peter had a change of mind; he wanted to go back to earth but it was too late. Peter and his friends Susan and Duncan suspected something wierd about their teacher. They went to his house when they looked into the window and saw something wierd. Their teacher glows in the dark they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Peter's teacher dies in the ship and Peter and Broxholm can't help him to get better. If you what to see what happens at the end of the book, go to your nearest library and check it out. Remember My Teacher Glows in the Dark.

    Coville takes the My Teacher series to a whole new level 5 by .. Daniel Jolley (Shelby, North Carolina USA)
    My Teacher Glows in the Dark is the third book in Bruce Coville's My Teacher series. While these books are written primarily for a 4th-6th grade audience, I as an adult have had a lot of fun reading them. I especially love Coville's way of presenting each story in the series. The series revolves around three pretty normal kids on Earth - the smart and brave Susan Simmons, nerdy dreamer Peter Thompson, and bully turned nice guy with newly-acquired brain-fried intelligence Duncan Dougal. Susan narrated the first book in the series, My Teacher is an Alien, wherein she discovers that her new teacher is an alien and joins up with Peter to stop him from kidnapping five students. Duncan narrated the second book, My Teacher Fried My Brains, in which we see inside his unhappy life, come to understand why he lashes out at people the way he does, and admire his effort to turn over a new leaf in life with the help of an artificially-advanced intelligence. Now, in My Teacher Glows in the Dark, it is Peter's turn to tell a part of the story.

    While this is book three of the series, it actually fills in the gap separating books one and two. Peter left with the alien Broxholm at the end of book one and showed up back on earth at the end of book two, and now we get to hear what he has been doing up in space over the course of the earth's summer. I found this to be the most enjoyable book of the series so far; instead of dealing with an alien among humans, we now have a human among aliens, and this makes for a decidedly entertaining read. We meet all kinds of aliens, learn a few things about a few of their cultures, and get to see all kinds of alien technology in use. In addition to this, the human side of the story takes on much more significance. As luck would have it, the Interplanetary Council is debating whether or not to destroy Earth, and Peter finds himself smack dab in the middle of trying to save the world he left behind. Peter's friendships with several aliens on board the ship are really quite touching, as is his passion for doing whatever he, a boy of about twelve, can do to save his home planet.

    With the action taking place in space, there is a much stronger science fiction element to this book than its predecessors, leading me to believe that many a young reader would simply eat this book up. With new and increasingly unusual aliens waiting around every corner, futuristic machines doing amazing things all over the place, and Earth's future hanging precariously in the balance, My Teacher Glows in the Dark sets the stage for a most promising climax in the fourth and final book of the series, My Teacher Flunked the Planet.

    Great sci-fi intro 5 by .. ()
    This is a great series to introduce a pre-teen to sci-fi! I would start out with the first book (My Teacher is an Alien.) I think this book would come next -- when I was a pre-teen, this was my favorite book of the series. "My Teacher Fried my Brains" would be another great book for someone who liked this one, becuase it describes what happened to the other characters during this time period. "My Teacher Flunked the Planet" (the last book) is okay, but the constant social commentary can grow tiresome. Highly recommended.

    Another Coville success! 4 by .. ()
    I recommend this book if you like stories with aliens. My book had some adventure and fantasy elements. For instance, one alien lives under the water with other aliens. If you like other books in this series, you will enjoy this one. I would recommend reading My Teacher is an Alien before this book.

    Product Description

    The Vocabulary Teacher’s Book of Lists offers content for literally hundreds of vocabulary improvement lessons for elementary and secondary teachers, self-improving adults, home schoolers, and students studying for their SATs. While there are dozens of shorter high interest lists of words, the core of the book is based on Latin and Greek roots and prefixes. But the largest list is Homophones. In fact it is one of the largest lists of homophones you will ever use. This list, like many others, is appropriate for spelling lessons or writer’s reference as well as vocabulary improvement. There are two dozen teaching methods in the Methods chapter and teaching suggestions to help improve reading and writing are scattered throughout the book. The lessons can be as short as a word-a-day or as long as a school year. The range of difficulty can go from upper elementary to college freshman classes, and be as diverse as adult education to English language learners.

    A very useful resource for teachers of all levels 5 by .. Almagirl (Chicago, IL USA)
    This book provided me with so much information, most of which I found useful in planning and teaching a vocabulary improvement class in a community college. It has material that an English or reading teacher can use in elementary, middle or high school. I especially liked the mini-dictionary of roots, prefixes and suffixes, but I found that many of the lists were very helpful. If you teach English or Language Arts, this is a good reference book for both your classroom and for you own information.

    Excellent Resource for ESL Adult Ed Instructors 5 by .. Paula Lassiter (Alexandria, VA)
    My students, a class of 25 Korean students learning English after already having completed university degrees overseas, rate this product very high for its compact, precise presentation of information that is not often found in texts. Bravo!

    Excellent resource for building vocabulary! 5 by .. z hayes (plano,texas)
    This is a comprehensive vocabulary book that covers interesting lists [capitonyms, SAT vocab, oxymorons etc], roots, word origins, subjects [scientific roots, emotions, sports etc], writing, foreign words [exonyms], spelling, abbr, phonics, measurement & geography, methods, affixes & roots, & homophones. I would recommend using this book together with the Writing Teacher's Book of Lists.

    direction in the vocabulary classroom 4 by .. M. McFarland ()

    great resource 4 by .. Teacher Mom (stamford, ct United States)
    This is a very complete resource. I use it for so many different lessons. Also The Reading Teacher's Book of Lists is fabulous! Highly reccomend it.

    Very Engaging - Not your typical textbook! 5 by .. D. E. Bashaw (Garland, TX)
    I think this book, Children's Literature: Engaging Teachers and Children in Good Books, is easy to understand and follow. There are great pictures and examples of many children's books within it, to make their points.

    It's OK 4 by .. Amanda (Texas)
    As far as textbooks go, this one isn't too bad. There is some humor in it. It's extremely infomative for Children's Lit. I'm a grad student studying Library Science. I wish this book were around when I took Children's Lit.
