By Sandy Sturmer and Sue Boyland RIC-0424 3.4/459

Published by R.I.C. Publications

Foreword Welcome Relief is a set of resource books designed for use in the primary school classrooms of Australia. As the title suggests, the main purpose of these books is to provide relief in situations where the normal teaching program is suspended, as may be the case in the situation of teacher absence or teacher development.

Each book in the series of seven presents a one-week program of work covering all major components of the curriculum. The week is divided into five daily components so that the package's use can be flexible. Detailed notes are provided for each lesson and where applicable a fully reproducible worksheet is provided. Two worksheets are provided for additional activities and are indicated with an asterisk.

An overview is provided at the beginning of each book so that the management of the package can be streamlined. As the activities are taken with a particular class they can be recorded so that repetition within any particular class is avoided.

The series is an ideal aid for: 1. the relief teacher, who can have a complete week's work at his or her fingertips for any of the primary school Year levels, with comprehensive teachers notes, directions and worksheets; 2. the classroom teacher, who can have this comprehensive program available constantly, so that in times of absence from the classroom he or she can be assured of the work program of the class; and 3. the principal, who can organise relief staff to the stage of providing the specific teaching program for any Year level.
