Product Information

There is a Spelling Seed session for every week of the associated Writing Root. Coverage: Common Exception Words Totdat een overgroottante arriveert: je stelt jezelf doelen en die ga je dan halen.' Roza gaat weer aan de slag met de kaaskopter. Ze durft weer, valt èn staat weer op: doorzetten en het gaat lukken! Je haalt je doel, ga ervoor! 'Fout gaat het pas als je hebt opgegeven!' Will no doubt inspire conversations with children about the benefits of failure and the pursuit of dreams.”— School Library Journal Enter the Blue River Riveters. They have an emergency that they need Rosie’s help with. One of the riveters, June, is a painter and always participates in the Art-a-Go-Go. This year, though, she has both of her wrists in casts. How can she paint like that? It’s up to Rosie to build a solution. At the end of the book is some bonus material including an "Ode to a Valve" (which was adorable and amazing!) as well as more information about valves and the actual Riveters.

Young boys and girls will love their time spent with Rosie Revere. They’ll be captivated by the story and colorful illustrations, and also learn about the passion and practicality of science (STEM). An unexpected and worthwhile message. I kind of don't want to spoil it, because I wasn't expecting it, and when I came to it, the surprise made it all the better. Reminded me of the excellent The Art of Learning. However, the combination of the author's unsubtly rendered (often choppy and to my ears woefully halting) verses (which both thematically and textually have felt rather totally contrived, artificial and as though Andrea Beaty is just and sadly trying way way too hard) and David Roberts's bright but exceedingly over-busy (and caricature-like) illustrations have truly and sadly rubbed me the wrong proverbial way (and furthermore, quite frankly, especially David Roberts' depictions of humans and in particular of Rosie and her family, well sorry, while some readers might indeed consider them cute, entertaning and playful, my own aesthetic conscience feels as though he is actually kind of poking exaggerated fun, almost as though David Roberts wants with his pictorial renderings to promote and even celebrate the attitude and impression that intelligent, that imaginative and innovative people, such as Rosie Revere and some of her nearest and dearest, must by mere necessity also appear as physically strange, with weird clothing, overly coiffed hair styles and the like, thus totally promoting and even enabling the sadly often true universal attiude that if one is intelligent and innovative one must and should physically look weird).The premise of the book is simply adorable and hilarious. Rosie Revere is precious and should be protected at any and all cost! She loves to build things trinkets, gizmos, and gadgets in secret – why in secret? Rosie was once enthusiastic about her inventions and showed it off to everyone and anyone, but one day, she built an invention for her favorite uncle, but he laughed at her and she curbed her passion in and only does it in secret. It wasn't until her great-great-aunt Rose (Rosie the Riveter) visits her and teaches her that the only failure is the failure to continue – to quit. This is a three-sessionspelling seed for the book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty. Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014.

Rosie is embarrassed, perplexed and dismayed when he laughs at her invention. From that moment, she keeps her creations a secret (under the bed), worried that they will be failures. I had a lot of fun reading “Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters”, the first chapter book in a new series, “The Questioneers”, by Andrea Beaty.Great story. Loved all the messages of working together, stopping to think, perseverance, helping others, and thinking outside the box. I could not put this book down. I honestly read it all this morning in one sitting. Rosie Revere dreams of becoming a great engineer. She creates wonderful gadgets and gizmos - but only when no one is watching. She's kept her inventions a secret ever since, when she was very small, her uncle Zookeeper Fred laughed at the special cheese hat she designed him to keep snakes at bay. But then great-great-great aunt Rosie, in her red-and-white spotted headscarf, appears on the scene, and helps Rosie to understand that sometimes you've got to risk failure before you can find success. I find it helpful that there’s a lot of extra information about the female riveters at the end of the book as well as an encouragement for kids to talk with older people and learn their stories. Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters is the first in a unique and exciting series of chapter books for children, parents, and teachers who want to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fun. Roza ziet in allerlei weggegooide spullen en restmaterialen de onderdelen voor de wonderlijkste apparaten. Wie kan er een worstjes-op-brood-automaat of een kaashoed tegen slangen ontwerpen? Roza dus, maar ze verstopt haar uitvindingen.
