Download or read book Grandpa Noel s Stories written by Gary Noel and published by . This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen years ago Gary wrote a fictional story about his oldest grandchild when she was five. He read it to her that Christmas Eve and gave it to her as a present. It was such a hit, he promised to do the same for each grandchild. That story and the promise became the genesis of Grandpa Noel's Stories. Twenty-three grandchildren and twenty-one stories later (one year he combined four grandkids into two stories), Grandpa's stories are woven into the fabric of their holiday festivities. Despite the growth in both numbers and physical size, the family still crowds into the family room on Christmas Eve for the reading of the latest story. Now he would like to share these stories with a wider audience. Each story is a separate, stand-alone tale featuring a different child. The main character(s) and family members are real, but the story is pure fabrication. Some are magical, others dream-like and a few a bit scary. The focus of all is the wonder of childhood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This charming book contains ten children's stories by Glenn W. Martin. The first eight stories were written for his grandchildren, and to be read to the children of the churches he served at their Christmas Eve Family Services. You will meet Browser the dog, and Marty Mouse, and the three performers who missed the Christmas Pageant. You will find out if Patty got her Christmas wish, and learn about the girl who didn't want anything for Christmas. You will go to the manger with the stable boy, and share the disappointment of Ladius, the shepherd boy, who had to stay home. And you will wonder, with the blind Jacob, whether or not the new baby can really work miracles. The last two stories were written specifically for this book, for his two youngest grandchildren. You will learn why Jesus is missing from the manger, and why Shirley Starcluster can't twinkle. These stories, which are dedicated to Glenn's grandchildren, will never grow old or out-of-date. They will continue to delight, inspire, and bring hope and joy. They are his gift to all children, whoever and wherever they may be.

Download or read book Black Communications and Learning to Read written by Terry Meier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about effective literacy instruction for students in grades K-4 who use the language variety that many linguists call African American English, but which, as explained in the Introduction, the author calls Black Communications (BC). Throughout, considerable attention is given to discussing the integral and complex interconnections among African American language, culture, and history, drawing significantly on examples from African American historical and literary sources. Although it is theoretical in its description of the BC system and its discussion of research on language socialization in African American communities, the major focus of this book is pedagogy. Many concrete examples of successful classroom practices are included so that teachers can readily visualize and use the strategies and principles presented. *Part I, ‘What is Black Communications?” presents an overview of the BC system, providing a basic introduction to the major components of the language—phonology, grammar, lexicon, and pragmatics, and illustrating how these components work in synchrony to create a coherent whole. *Part II, “Language Socialization in the African American Discourse Community,” examines existing research on African American children’s language socialization. *Part III, “Using African American Children’s Literature,” draws connections between strategy instruction and the linguistic and rhetorical abilities discussed in Part II. Each chapter ends with suggestions for using African American literature to help children develop their speaking and writing abilities. *Part IV, “Children Using Language,” moves from a focus on teaching comprehension strategies to helping BC speakers learn to decode text. This volume is directed to researchers, faculty, and graduate students in the fields of language and literacy education and linguistics, and is well-suited as a text for graduate-level courses in these areas.
