Debbie Diller's Practice with Purpose Anything by D.Diller is a great resource. This book is terrific. I would recommend it to any teacher who likes an organized classroom.
Patrice Third grade teacher When I received the book, I sat down and read it through and through. This book is exactly what I need for my third grade class. The concept of practice centers for intermediate students makes sense. Debbie Diller's book gave me the written "how" and provided the blackline masters to put those ideas into practice. I just completed my first week of school and I have already used several of her ideas. This book is easy to read, understand,and most importantly practical.
Practice with Purpose This was an excellent resource! With our school getting ready to teach combination grades-I will highly recommend it to all teachers. The ideas are practical and with a limited budget, will be attainable in our classes. Finally- a book to help right away, simple ideas that we can all use!
Great Recieved item on time, right when we were told it would arrive. Book in very good condition.
Practice with PURPOSE This is just what I've needed. Excellent source for getting kids motivated and on tasks that help THEM to learn. Outlines possible problems and solutions ahead of time. Great ideas for taking centers I already want and making them real learning stations in the classroom.
Other teachers on my floor are already looking to "borrow" it.
