This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical, effective, evidence-based reading interventions that change students' lives Essentials of Understanding and Assessing Reading Difficulties is a practical, accessible, in-depth guide to reading assessment and intervention. It provides a detailed discussion of the nature and causes of reading difficulties, which will help develop the knowledge and confidence needed to accurately assess why a student is struggling. Readers will learn a framework for organizing testing results from current assessment batteries such as the WJ-IV, KTEA-3, and CTOPP-2. Case studies illustrate each of the concepts covered. A thorough discussion is provided on the assessment of phonics skills, phonological awareness, word recognition, reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Formatted for easy reading as well as quick reference, the text includes bullet points, icons, callout boxes, and other design elements to call attention to important information. Although a substantial amount of research has shown that most reading difficulties can be prevented or corrected, standard reading remediation efforts have proven largely ineffective. School psychologists are routinely called upon to evaluate students with reading difficulties and to make recommendations to address such difficulties. This book provides an overview of the best assessment and intervention techniques, backed by the most current research findings. Bridge the gap between research and practice Accurately assess the reason(s) why a student struggles in reading Improve reading skills using the most highly effective evidence-based techniques Reading may well be the most important thing students are taught during their school careers. It is a skill they will use every day of their lives; one that will dictate, in part, later life success. Struggling students need help now, and Essentials of Understanding and Assessing Reading Difficulties shows how to get these students on track.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its fifth edition, Reading Pathways (with help from Dewey the Bookwormâ?¢) offers an easy-to-use, highly effective approach to teaching reading accuracy and fluency to students of all ages, using a unique pyramid format. Reading pyramids begins with one word, and slowly build into phrases and sentences of gradually increasing complexity. As the student moves from the pinnacle to the base of each pyramid, the phrase or sentence becomes a more interesting and expansive, and the student's confidence grows with each line completed. Progressively building up the amount of text per line increases eye span, strengthens eye tracking, and develops reading fluency. The book also features more challenging multi-syllable word pyramid exercises and games to further develop fluency and vocabulary. Learning to read long words by syllables removes the fear and mystique of multi-syllable words and helps students build the strong vocabulary so critical for success in reading and writing.

Book excerpt: "[Lau's] trope-forward contemporaries are as sugary and irresistible as the desserts her characters create."—New York Times Book Review A baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy from the author of Love, Lies, and Cherry Pie. Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. After years of constant work and the sudden death of his mother, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn't know how to talk to his dad—who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum. Innovative baker Lindsay McLeod meets Ryan when he knocks over two dozen specialty donuts at her bakery. Their relationship is off to a messy start, but there’s no denying their immediate attraction. When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees. As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they’re cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen.

Book excerpt: Dr Jessica Atkins wants nothing more than to see the Emergency Department she works at in her rear view mirror. Overworked and on the verge on burnout, her much anticipated vacation in the idyllic coastal town of Ravens Nest is railroaded when her paths cross with an injured and insanely handsome mystery man. Fleeing for his life, the sacred and obscure pathway from a parallel world leads Martin's bruised and battered body literally falling at Jessica's feet. Haunted by the betrayal he had just witnessed and fearful for his sister's life, who would now be forced into ruling over a war torn world in his absence, he struggles to come to terms with his new reality and the beguiling allure of the stranger tending to him. Torn between her duty of care, disbelief in the existence of another world, and an impossible attraction for a man she hardly knows, Jessica utilizes the only resources available to her in Ravens Nest. The medical facilities offered at the local veterinary clinic owned by eccentric veterinarian, Jack Foster. Navigating meddlesome small town politics with a Sheriff she despises, Jessica attends to Martin, setting in motion an interwoven tempestuous journey where hearts, cultures and indeed worlds collide. Can they find some middle ground to rescue and protect the ones they love, bring perpetrators to justice and alter the course of history? Lives will be forever changed and no one is left unscathed in this gripping adventure.

Download or read book Alpha Phonics written by Samuel L Blumenfeld and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alpha-Phonics: IT IS THE PERFECT READING INSTRUCTION PROGRAM TO USE DURING THE VIRUS CRISIS. IT WORKS FAST, IS VERY SIMPLE. SURE RESULTS! THIS ONE BOOK IS COMPLETE. NOTHING ELSE NEEDED. HE/SHE CAN BE READING SIMPLE SENTENCES EVEN ON DAY ONE!! Used by tens of thousands for 37 years. Alpha-Phonics is probably the simplest, most effective, REASONABLY priced phonics instruction programs available. HERE IS WHY IT WORKS SO WELL: IT IS SIMPLE!! (Please also scroll down to see the VIDEO near the bottom left of this page) HERE IS WHY: There are only 44 phonograms (Sounds) the child needs to learn in order to read. Reading, contrary to what you have been told, is easy to teach because all you need to do is teach the student to SOUND OUT the words they want to read. At first, they sound the words out aloud, later they do it in their head silently. That is ALL there is to teaching reading. MOM get this: All 128 Lessons in Alpha-Phonics are covered in ONLY 14 pages of instructions for you. Students begin with short vowels putting together simple words (Like a with m = am or a with s = as) and progress to the more advanced words. With Alpha-Phonics the beginner can be reading simple sentences by lesson three, and that can even be on the first day! Other reading instruction programs try to do too much. They inject grammar, pictures and other material, needlessly complicating the task. Alpha-Phonics just teaches reading only. Alpha-Phonics has as a BONUS: you teach SPELLING easily as you go (through simple dictation). Alpha-Phonics easily introduces over 3,500 words in its simple 128 lessons. Some students can learn to read in only months or less. Alpha-Phonics also works very well for older students, even grown adults who need remediation. Is there a negative about Alpha-Phonics? Yes. In the past 37 years we have heard only one criticism (Only a few times). It is: Some Moms say they think their child can become bored when taught by Alpha-Phonics. Why? Parents have been convinced that learning has to be fun time. They have been led to believe games, card decks, cartoons/pictures, spin the needle tricks, etc., make it fun. They feel they have to entertain their kids while teaching. But this unnecessarily slows down the process. With Alpha-Phonics the student can actually be READING simple sentences even day ONE! Students do see lists of words in Alpha-Phonics lessons, but they QUICKLY are actually READING those words; they are accomplishing, instead of being entertained. The Bells and Whistles in other programs slow the process and cost time and money $$. The huge sense of success in actually reading quickly overcomes any other consideration. We almost forgot the SUPER BONUS: Many ADULTS become BETTER readers while teaching their child! The lessons for the Student are in LARGE TYPE on 8 1/2 X11 pages meaning you can instruct him/her DIRECTLY from the book. Nothing need be copied on separate paper. Makes everything much easier than if it were on 5 X 8 pages. Alpha-Phonics is highly recommended by leading Homeschooling curriculum reviewers such as Mary Pride, Cathy Duffy, Karen Andreola. Amazon also has a set of practice Readers and a practice Phonics Workbook to accompany Alpha-Phonics. (But they are NOT required, but Moms find them helpful) The Alpha-Phonics and How To Tutor Little Companion READERS (10 books combined into one handy book): $ 19.95 (ISBN 9780941995344). They are specifically designed to follow along with the Alpha-Phonics book as you teach from it. The other resource is The Alpha-Phonics and How To Tutor Phonics Companion PRACTICE WORKBOOK: $ 19.95 (ISBN: 9780941995337). Designed to accompany the Alpha-Phonics book as you go through the lessons. ALPHA-PHONICS REALLY DOES WORK.......IT HAS FOR OVER 37 YEARS!!
