Gr 5–8—These texts cover academic skills that will be useful in the workplace, including group work and research. Chapter headings such as "What Do Employers Want?" and "Great Habits That Last a Lifetime" emphasize the link between school and career, and a diverse group of young people are depicted in the photographs. Yet some tips seem dated, including using note cards for recording research facts, and won't appeal to computer-savvy students. Some advice will be helpful, such as delegating responsibilities to group members based on individual talents. However, there is a stale quality to many of the suggestions.
VERDICT This set won't ring true to today's readers.
