Developing Literacy Using Reading Manupulatives

Transform reading instruction into reading construction as students make, build, and manipulate letters, words, and sentences. Reading becomes hands-on through the use of common, fun-to-use manipulatives such as pipe cleaners, beans, shoelaces, and macaroni. Manipulatives are featured in each of over 100 activities that incorporate books, songs, poems, child-created text, and other ''real'' literature. 144 pages."
