There are nuts and bolts, too—best editions to read, other books by the author, “if you like this, you’ll like that” recommendations , and an interesting endnote of adaptations where appropriate. Add it all up, and in fact there are more than six thousand titles by nearly four thousand authors mentioned—a life-changing list for a lifetime of reading. “948 pages later, you still want more!” —THE WASHINGTON POST

Download or read book The Passive Programming Playbook written by Paula Willey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers 101 passive programming ideas that are extendable, adaptable, customizable, and above all, stealable-so your passive programming never runs dry. Passive programming is a cheap, quick, fun way to make all library customers feel like part of the community. It can support reading initiatives, foster family engagement, encourage visit frequency, and coax interaction out of library lurkers-while barely making a dent in your programming budget. Passive programming can be targeted at children, teens, adults, or seniors; used to augment existing programs; and executed in places where staff-led programming can't reach. It can be light-footed, spontaneous, and easily deployed to reflect and respond to current news, media, library events, and even the weather. But even passive programming pros run out of ideas sometimes, and when that happens, they want a fresh, funny source of inspiration.

Download or read book Partnering with Parents written by Mary Schreiber and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caregiver involvement is key to a child's reading success story, and libraries are in the perfect position to provide the guidance needed for parents and caregivers to embrace their role as their children's first and most enduring teachers. Libraries offer many programs and services for children, but sometimes caregivers are left out of the equation, especially once children start school. Nevertheless, parents and caregivers are an integral part of literacy development, and libraries are a great place for them to witness modeling practices and participate in engaging family programs that encourage early literacy. Mary Schreiber combines personal experience and professional research with the programming expertise of youth librarians from across the country in this guide for libraries looking to make an even greater impact on the level of literacy attained by the children they serve. In Partnering with Parents, readers will find a wealth of information on how to talk to caregivers about the different stages of a child's reading life, what books to recommend to excite both caregivers and children about reading, and ways to encourage parent and caregiver participation in library programming, with additional information on working with and providing programming for diverse families. Whether you are a veteran in the profession or brand new to working with families, you will find something in this book that will help you to make your library a more integral part of the education community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phonics at its core, is a method of teaching reading by correlating sounds with letters or a group of letters. The good news is that the English Language contains just 44 unique sounds. There are 5 short vowel sounds, 18 consonant sounds, 7 digraphs sounds, 6 long vowel sounds, 3 r-controlled vowel sounds, and 5 other special sounds (e.g., Diphthongs). One component of reading involves decoding or making connections between sounds and the letters that represent them. The difficulty is recognizing the particular letters or group of letters and associating them to the correct sound and eventually to the correct word. However, with practice (a lot of practice), your child will learn to read. For children who have completed the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten early literacy challenge or any other child interested in learning how to read, comes the 1000 Books Before Kindergarten Complete Phonics.

Download or read book The Pleasures of Reading written by Catherine Sheldrick Ross and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on years of ground-breaking research, this book supplies a look at the unique relationship between each text and the individual reader that results in a satisfying, pleasurable, and even life-changing reading experience. Following up on her critically acclaimed Reading Matters: What the Research Reveals about Reading, Libraries, and Community, Catherine Sheldrick Ross takes a new look at pleasure reading through 30 thought-provoking essays based on themes arranged from A to Z. In short lively chapters, she discusses topics ranging from "Alexia," "Bad Reading," and "Changing Lives" to "Romance Fiction," "Self-help," "Titles," "Vampires," and "Year of Reading." Drawing on her own research as well as other published sources, Ross comments on the significance of each theme, provides examples of the phenomenon, and develops the topic chronologically, through further examples, or through reversals. The essays are unified by an underlying theory of reading that views readers as sense-makers, actively engaged in reading themselves into the text and reading the texts back into their own lives. It gives educators and librarians insights into their roles with readers and offers a message about the importance of pleasure reading. A short list of resources for further reading is supplied with each topic.
