This book, Rhythm 'n Rhymers, is the foremost teaching tool available with which to insure instruction in grammar, usage, syntax, spelling, and in decent and mannerly living, that has ever been published. Ellie Schmidt taught language arts on several continents and in her native United States, and perfected her method to create a powerful learning tool. This method of recitation and chanting, with movements, eliminates the boredom that traditional grammar lessons provide. The reaction of the students has been excitement and investment, and the retention level greater than any other tool available. The genius of the writing is that human issues are embedded in the text, not to mention a beautiful rhyme and rhythm that gets kids hopping right out of their seats to participate. The hundreds of requests for this work have finally been fulfilled by the skilled collaboration of teacher, psychotherapist and song-writer Elliott Sewell who has made this book a labor of love, putting together Ellie's thousands of pages of notes and making a polished and orderly book out of the chaos of many years of writing and notations. You will use this large format (almost 400 pages and 8 #65533;" by 11" by1" thick) nearly every day and your kids will love it.
