Summary:
"An adult
literacy
workbook
developed by Ningwakwe Learning Press for learners at LBS
Level
2
(grade 3 and 4) in their reading, writing and understanding skills. The publishers view sinew as a metaphor for reading and writing skills because the sinew from a deer is considered a strong material in the creation of leather products. Likewise sage is an important medicine plant that represents the spirit used to create positive experiences. This
workbook
contains seven lessons that cover topics such as dictionary and writing exercises, identifying the main idea in a passage, and writing sentences about a topic. To engage the reader the passages cover topics such as respecting animals,
Aboriginal
languages, residential schools, diabetes, foods, the Seven Grandfathers, and totem poles. Although this resource was developed for adult
literacy
learners, teachers will find this
workbook
a valuable resource in the elementary classroom to encourage students with high interest, low vocabulary requirements."--Provided by publisher.
