Looking for a way to integrate spatial thinking into your curriculum? Barbaree's book gives you the research-based reasons for doing so, the practical reasons for doing so (she is a language arts teacher, after all), and then gives you the tools and activities to carry it out. Buy one of these books for yourself and then one for your language arts teacher colleague!
