The language arts section contains 14 activities identifying parts of speech, practicing alphabetization, writing skills, analysis, and synthesis, under such titles as "Verbose Sports Writers,""Jumping Gerunds," and "Amazing Advertising Antics." The three activities in the reading and language section promote reading and critical thinking skills. "Apartment Hunting,""Sports Shorts," and "Coupon Clippers Colossal Cash Craze" incorporate math with reading and language art skills in the final section. Materials required for most of these activities include newspapers, construction or notebook paper, scissors, glue, and pencil or pen.
