Linda Karges-Bone's Books

Dr. Bone's Brain Tips is a simple yet sophisticated resource that can help even the busiest teacher incorporate brain-friendly teaching methods into his or her curriculum. These quick and easy research-based tips are divided into eight categories: teacher stress, girl-friendly brain tips, boy-friendly brain tips, the sensory brain, accommodations for differentiation, neuro-architecture, creativity and critical thinking, and parenting with the brain in mind.

Do you need funds for a pre-school autism program? Uniforms for the girls cross-country team? Funding for a childhood obesity or literacy program? Dollars to help teachers learn to use interactive white boards or travel for study abroad?

What does it mean to be a wealthy, or “rich,” school? What makes a school “poor”? Is it only about money? Rich Brain, Poor Brain explores the differences that separate students’ opportunities for success. Dr. Bone discusses the research on threats of poverty, the ways poverty shapes brains and behaviors, and ways to change these outcomes for students. LEAP across social and synaptic gaps posed by poverty with strategies across four broad areas: Language, Experiences, Attitudes, and Performance.

Teach basic academic skills through a language-rich, sensory-driven set of experiences! This collection of 12 rhyming story-poems is designed to be read aloud to young children. Follow up with the provided activities and lessons to build neural connections, especially those ties to the five components of literacy: phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension.

Brain Framing is a book of ideas for ?thinking about thinking? in the classroom, ideas to help us frame the brains of students in ways that are productive, powerful, and personal. This book will help teachers to engage brains in three fresh ways: framing student learning into more personalized experiences that utilize new research on the brain, the body, and the spirit; creating brain-friendly classroom environments that link sensory and cognitive experiences in ways that reduce stress for both the teacher and the student; and organizing content into meaningful ?chunks and layers? that fit into the unique frames of students? brains. Filled with a variety of new teaching strategies, curriculum-enhancing ideas, lesson-planning samples and reproducible templates based on current scientific research, Brain Framing is the perfect resource for any teacher who wants to begin ?planning with the brain in mind.?

The activities in this book provide numerous ways to introduce sensory and gender-based teaching methods into your classroom. Experience ?minds-on? learning with fresh and fascinating tips and techniques for using color, scent, taste, sound, and touch to stimulate the minds of your students. The suggested practical classroom applications utilize the differences between the ways boys and girls acquire and apply knowledge. Begin ?doing brain surgery from the inside out? by Breaking Brain Barriers!

Which colors can stimulate creative thinking? What scents might help to calm a child who has anxiety? Why do certain classroom groupings facilitate learning, while others create tension? How can boys harness their boundless energy to attack language arts or girls draw on their strong verbal skills to make the most of a mathematics problem? Using current brain research, this book discusses sensory-rich learning techniques and gender-specific teaching methods used to stimulate the minds of your students. Based on Dr. Karges-Bones successful books Beyond Hands-On and More Than Pink and Blue, this resource is a must-read for all teachers exploring differentiated pathways of the brain!

Includes reproducible rubrics, checklists, and assessment tools for all curriculum areas. A glossary of terms, planning questions, student contract, and assessment journal are also part of this comprehensive resource.

A unique way to infuse "character education" into the classroom! Six stories use humor and "real-life" situations to help kids understand and develop valuable character traits such as being respectful, responsible, compassionate, and kind. Following each story are reproducible student pages and teacher resource pages that help develop skills in language arts, literacy, critical thinking, following directions, character development, math, and more. Stories, debates, and discussions about critical ideas give children the opportunity to share their own experiences.
