A few years back I began offloading this kind of resource. I had lots of them that I just didn't use. Oh sure, they looked pretty on the bookshelf, but I could never find what I was looking for and most of them were never used. I am a minimalist and I have streamlined my processes.
Today we were in the Village School Teacher Center. It used to be at Dutch Neck Village, but we learned today it moved to Carl's Corner. The store sacrificed a lot of space. Frankly, teacher stores don't interest me much. They are filled with mostly stuff I have little interest in.
As we poked around, I found a $1.00 bin. I browsed through it and found this book. Unlike most of these books, I know I will actually use this book as I have a class set of The Tale of Despereaux books in my classroom. I don't read it every year; it depends on the students I have. I like having some comprehension pages to be able to pull out without needing to do a whole lot of prep work.
For a dollar, I am pleased to add this to the classroom.
