Prepare students for the 'real world' with these realistic reading opportunities! Schedules are an integral part of daily life. Reading and understanding a bus or airline schedule helps us get from here to there. Understanding class and camp schedules helps us determine where and when an event will be happening. Knowing how the recycling schedule works helps us with our daily chores. Lessons include 10 colorful, highly-visual "cards" each portraying a specific real-life schedule.
