Interesting approach to language arts education. I tried a couple of the menus with my homeschooling son, and I can see how they could be useful in a classroom with students working at varying paces.

This book is great. My wife is a middle school literature teacher and has already been able to apply menus to her lesson plans. The students love it and teachers have a great appreciation for new, effective concepts to learning. Giving students a sense of choice has a profound effect and can easily increase engagement and productivity. I highly recommend this tool to anyone looking for a fresh way to educate.

Thank you to Library Thing and Prufrock Press for the Early Reviewers copy.
