I am excited to have Manvilles book as a rich resource for my teachers; as we continue our transition to implement CCSS in our district. Teachers will immediately appreciate the multitude of activities, especially as they are asked this year to implement new activities for each under-touched Common Core standard and for standards on which students are under-performing. As the person responsible for curriculum and instruction, I can be confident that Manvilles laser-like attention to providing only research-based activities will help ensure success! -- Valerie Jones, MsEd., K-12 curriculum coordinator, East Buchanan C-1 Schools, Gower, Missouri
