What folks are saying about READiscover New Mexico
READiscover New Mexico – A Tri-Lingual Adventure in Literacy has been adopted by the State of New Mexico Public Education Department as a Supplemental Text in Language Arts/Reading. It’s an excellent resource for New Mexico’s upcoming Centennial celebration!
This is a wonderful book that I can’t wait to use with my students. It fits in perfectly with the New Mexico Standards for what we teach about the State of New Mexico – and you can quote me! – Reverie de Escobedo, 3rd Grade Bilingual/TESOL, Santa Fe Public Schools; Teacher & Translator
This book is the perfect resource for parents, teachers and librarians looking for a grab bag of ideas. Excerpt from a review in enchantment – The Voice of New Mexico’s Rural Electric Cooperatives, September 2007 issue
I have known Kathy as a librarian and storyteller since we first moved to New Mexico several years ago. When I heard that she had written a book about reading resources of New Mexico I could not wait to be able to peruse it page by page. We are a homeschooling family and are always looking for ways to incorporate community resources into our studies. This book has ideas on every page and is one of the best references for all things New Mexico. I read it from cover to cover gleaning projects, recipes, celebration ideas and more and adding them to our list of ‘must dos’ this year. I honestly think this lists every known New Mexico resource for children K-12. My only wish is that it had more books written in Navajo-but perhaps that is just a result of too few books in that language. I would highly recommend (and have already) this book to educators everywhere.
