Within the Classroom:
Irregular Past Tense Verbs

By grade 5 we expect more from students both cognitively and in maturation. Therefore the verbs used in texts and for assessment purposes become more abstract and difficult for language learners to comprehend. This reproducible book is designed to develop knowledge and fluency of verb vocabulary and past tenses. It offers step by step, multiple activities for practising speech, reading and writing. This is a great resource for integrated ESL as well as for regular students.

In Our Classroom:
An Educator's Guide to Helping English Language Learners with Curriculum

"Every educator will want to have a personal copy of 'In Our Classrooms.' Meyers gives the reader a comprehensive overview of what English language learners require to become successful language and curriculum content learners. Meyers provides numerous practical 'tips' in her book... 'In Our Classrooms' is a must have for all educators simply because it can be applied to all students; ESL students, gifted students, students with special needs as well as 'average' students will undoubtedly benefit from the strategies. Overall, this is an essential resource, one that all boards of education will want to supply for their teachers, administration, support staff and volunteers. Perhaps pronvicial dollars would be better spent by providing staff members with a copy of 'In Our Classrooms'."

Review, TESL Ontario, 2002

"...highly accessible and practical."

Jum Cummins, Modern Language Center, OISE.

"Oral language facility in English differs substantially from the knowledge of literate styles of language. Educators must become 'language conscious' - better informed about their students' English proficiency in both language and literacy. This knowledge, in turn, will shed light on the challenges those students will face as well as the modifications necessary to ensure student success."

Mary Meyers, 2005
