Opis

Aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS): Reading Standards: Foundational Skills (K-5): CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.2 Demonstrate understanding of spoken words, syllables, and sounds (phonemes). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. Strong phonics instruction is the foundation of a quality education in English. This book is meant to serve as an educational tool as well as an example for students that, despite their race or socio-economic status, their passion can lead them to success -- just like Ulises' passion for drawing. The story Mean Mr. E was inspired by students in classes that had experienced being teased and sometimes humiliated, many of whom tried to fight back and get their revenge. Therefore, this book holds value as a "biblio-therapy" book in addition to its value as a phonics instruction teaching resource. Ulises Lopez-Alvarez was a student in Ms. Gluckman's 5th grade bilingual class. He was chosen to illustrate this book due to his great creativity, as well as a personal investment as this student began the year without having fully mastered all of his phonetic rules. Ulises aided with this book in the hopes of helping students early on to learn important rules to be successful readers in the future. Free teaching tips and literacy resources are included. A lesson plan is included. Thank you to Luis Sierra for your help with the illustration formatting and editing.
