Student Edition Ruby integrates language arts and literature
with Lessons in Literature. These lessons precede
each prose selection and teach a progression of
language art skills that build, one on the other, in
a manner geared specifically towards the fourth
grader. Ruby includes works by Elizabeth Friedrich,
Myron Uhlberg, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Carol Fisher Saller. The book is replete with short stories student, drama, poetry and nonfiction. Finally, Ruby presents a unique Mosdos feature: Jill's Journal, a first-person narrative presumably written at the time of the prose selection. Fourth graders will enter the setting of the literary work, as if they were present at that time and place.
