Discover how to make important connections between the classroom and the "real world." Kathy shows you how to turn your students on to learning and build skills that will help them function more successfully outside of the classroom.

Some of the basic literacy topics that are covered include:-
Writing and deciphering messages—from notes and memos to invitations and advertisements
- Taking the mystery out of labels—from understanding labels on medicine bottles to making sense of food and clothing labels
- Coping with everyday money management—from completing order forms to writing checks and balancing a checkbook
- Reading and interpreting specialized text—from finding information in nonfiction books to effectively using phone books, entertainment guides, and bus schedules
Includes lesson ideas and reproducibles.
