Schools and Instruction Books

The premise above works with this program. As part of a prison reading lab program, we were able to obtain this book of lesson plans and purchased the books in the core book lists for the lab and the visiting room. At the time I was involved we were just launching the program along with other reading programs for the inmates...which included becoming aware of one's visual difficulties. We found that inmates could develop their own programs for their visiting children, or could pass that information on to their family, and it helped the inmates with their own poor reading by getting motivated to help the children. Within weeks using visual tests, exercises and the program outlined we had inmates excited about teaching reading to others and changed their own attitudes in there GED classes.

We used the paperback version of this textbook in a graduate level Emergent Literacy course. Great organization of information for emergent, early, and fluent stages of oral language, reading and writing. The text is full of educational best practices, activities, tables of benchmarks and ready-to-use assessment tools. My copy started out brand-new, but it definitely has that "well-loved" look to it now. It is one post-secondary text that I plan on keeping.

My daughter began to play the violin since last yr and this book make her want to practice very day.

I've been playing for 6 months and this is very difficult. Challenging but good practice.

Lo compre para mi sobrino de once anhos, porque es un poco timido y le costaba trabajo preguntar las dudas que seguramente tenia. Pero con este libro creo que aclaro algunas de ellas y sin pasar la pena de preguntarle a su mama. Esta muy bien escrito, me gusto que el lenguaje es sencillo, de acuerdo a su edad. Definitivamente lo recomiendo para aquellas mamas que no tienen una figura masculina que les ayude a explicar los cambios que trae la adolescencia en los hijos varones.

I really lieked this boek, but it is a pitty that it does not have a indecks as it is such a long boek.

I like the pictures very much, and Rembrandt is very good artists, butshould he using more of colour, as brown, also printing.

Stil, I give book four/five stars.

I am using this text for a graduate level class I am teaching about reading in the content area. It seems to be a very large overview of all of the issues facing secondary content area teachers.

This book was the best book that you can find on Portuguse. Even though I got to use it for only a little while, I learned so much Portuguse in only weeks. It starts out teaching you some nouns like The pencil, the box, and the book. Then it moves on to a little grammer. I would not sugust this book if you need to learn Portuguse in a hurry

I visited the small village of Newlyn, near Penzance, in the 1980's. As an artist, I was taken by the quality of the Newlyn Painters from the late 1800's. I purchased several books, on the Newlyn School, in the UK at that time. This is a wonderful addition to my knowledge of some of the best painters of that period.
