Amazon have a "Look Inside" facility so that you can read some of the content of each of her books. Here are the links:
I suggest that you start with Children & Chess: A Guide for Educators since this gives an excellent overview. Then move on to the others, perhaps in the order of publication: Science, Math, Checkmate (2008), Read, Write, Checkmate (2009) and People, Places, Checkmates (2010). There is also a book The Living Chess Game: Fine Arts Activities for Kids 9-14.
We are also aware of Leah Martin-Dagher's work - see Classroom Chess: The Primary Teacher's Handbook.
If you know of other work in this area, please contact us with details.
