Cooking to Learn Digital Binder 2
Cooking to Learn Series is integrated reading and
writing activities that motivate students to learn basic reading and
writing skills with the fun step-by-step cooking activities and
corresponding worksheets in these three binders. The easy-to-follow
recipes offer life-skills experience as students prepare food themselves
using common inexpensive ingredients.
Each recipe features illustrated and non-illustrated activities to
allow teachers to use the same lesson plan with students of varying
abilities. Recipes in each binder include a selection of breakfast,
lunch or dinner, snack and dessert, and drink choices.
Practical Skills
The simple, real-world activities were designed to provide hands-on ways
to help students improve sequencing, reading comprehension, vocabulary,
expressive language, problem-solving, written language, and social
skills. Multiple-choice activities prepare students for standardized
test formats.
