Skinny On Guides
Five easy-to-read guides focus on today's important issues for today's students!
Rand Media Company, publisher of the Skinny On™ series, has partnered with us to create these guides. Using the same reader-friendly approach as the Skinny On™ book series, these guides were developed to provide time-starved and information-overloaded readers with "the skinny on" life's most important lessons.
Each Premier™ Skinny On™ Guide includes:
- Easy-to-read format
- Opening reflections
- Direction for additional resources
- A two-page overview for families that includes discussion questions and other helpful hints
- An eight-page teacher resource that includes a tutorial, implementation tips, parent fact sheets, discussion questions, and activity suggestions
(one teacher resource for all guides) - Access to online, quick-bite tips that build on theme
- Lists of useful, topic-specific Web sites
