Download or read book Ants Antics in Nan s Attic Book 3 written by Debbie Hepplewhite MBE FRSA and published by Phonics International Limited. This book was released on 2022-10-09 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THIS READING BOOK SERIES These cumulative, decodable phonics ebooks provide an effective and enjoyable 'stand-alone' approach to teach beginning reading. They are also designed to complement No Nonsense Phonics Skills (Pupil Books 1 to 8) and the Phonics International programme - a FREE online programme (Units 1 to 6 of 12 Units). The books can be used to complement and supplement other early reading programmes and reading instruction. The series is colour-coded for ease of organisation and management. The back covers indicate the code featured cumulatively in each book. Purpose – these books are designed for children: 1. to practise the technical skill of decoding new printed words by sounding out and blending (‘lifting the words off the page’) using their knowledge of letter/s-sound correspondences (the alphabetic code) 2. to learn the meaning of new words, enriching their vocabulary, in the context of events in the storylines 3. to practise reading aloud with increasing confidence and fluency – learning how to use expression when re-reading The books are challenging: The books are structured to be ‘cumulative’ and ‘decodable’ and they are also challenging. They include shorter and longer words from the outset and some words that are likely to be new to children’s spoken language. Generally, there are many words on most pages to provide plenty of accurate decoding practice. After the children have decoded any new words they do not automatically recognise, the supporting adult can discuss the storylines, including with reference to the illustrations, to explain new words. There is ‘Vocabulary Support’ in the back of the books. Capital letters are code for the same sounds as their lower case letters. Children should attempt to decode the words, sentences or pages by themselves at first with the adult encouraging, supporting, re-reading words, sentences and pages as required. Some beginners may only manage one page in any one reading session until they have perfected the phonics skill of sounding out in response to letters and letter groups, and blending the sounds (synthesising) to decode new words. Children learn at different rates and have different needs: Debbie’s approach includes incidental phonics teaching and support as well as systematic provision. Some children may need reminding of letter/s-sound correspondences that are not yet embedded in memory. Some children will self-teach as they learn more about the alphabetic code, and some children will recognise words they’ve previously read more easily than others. Some children may be able to ‘discern’ (detect) a word they’ve sounded out because they know the word in their spoken language, but struggle to ‘discern’ a new printed word that is not in their spoken language. This will improve over time as children decode and learn new words from the literature they read not just the words they hear and speak. Using the books in the school and at home advisedly: In school, teachers may decide to use these books lagging behind the introduction of the various letter/s-sound correspondences for additional reading practice. Both the No Nonsense Phonics and the Phonics International programmes already provide plain ‘matched texts’ for children’s reading, writing, spelling and language comprehension. These reading books are additional and complementary to the phonics programmes. Teachers may decide to cascade these books to children for home-reading starting with the children who are the quickest and most adept at sounding out and blending to decode new words. Teachers may decide to use these books in school for supported practice in school before sending them home for re-reading in the home. Again, this may depend on the children themselves and how teachers decide the books will be most beneficial – particularly when children are beginners. Teachers may use later books differently according to children’s changing needs over time. Children can be introduced to letter/s-sound correspondences ‘incidentally’ and this will add to their code knowledge and capacity to self-teach over time. Illustrations: The pictures in children’s books enhance the storylines and often tell a story beyond the words on the pages. It is important that the ‘back and forth’ discussions between adults and children always take place with these phonics reading books no less than with storybooks. In addition, ‘homophones’ are so common in the English language that it is helpful, as adults, to point out that the same words can have various meanings in different contexts – and to engage children fully with this notion. About the ‘sounds’ and the alphabetic code: Parents and carers can ‘hear’ the sounds via an audio Alphabetic Code Chart at alphabeticcodecharts.com . There are also free printable alphabetic code charts at this site. Tweaking or modifying pronunciation: It is very common that a spoken word’s final pronunciation needs to be ‘tweaked’ or ‘modified’ after sounding out and blending. Early examples of this are words such as ‘is’, ‘his’, ‘as, ‘has’. In reality, these words are pronounced ‘iz’, ‘hiz’, ‘az’, ‘haz’ with a /z/ sound at the end, not a /s/ sound, but most children who are decoding these words will automatically sound them out and then say them with their correct pronunciation even without thinking about it. The sooner adults and children alike understand this constant process of slight modification of pronunciation (as required), the sooner a wider range of words can be included for beginners.

Accompanied by distinctive illustrations, these one hundred rarely documented but all-too-realistic milestones provide comfort, solidarity, and comic relief for exhausted and terrified new parents.

Download or read book The Latin Sexual Vocabulary written by J. N. Adams and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1990-10 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LIke other languages, Latin contained certain words its speakers considered obscene as well as a rich stock of sexual euphemism and metaphor. Our sources for this information range from surviving graffiti to literary works with a marked sexual content. Yet despite its manifest literary and linguistic interest, the sexual vocabulary of Latin has remained uninvestigated by scholars. J. A. Adams's pioneering and unique reference work collects for the first time evidence of Latin obscenities and sexual euphemisms drawn from both literary and nonliterary sources from the early Republic to about he fouth century A.D. Separate chaptes treat each of the sexual pasrts of the body and the terminology used to describe sexual acts. General topics include the influence of Greek language on Latin, changes in the Latin vocabulary over time (including the evolution of sexual words into general terms of abuse), and lexical differences among various literary genres.

Download or read book American Vaudeville as Ritual written by Albert F. McLeanJr. and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study affords an entirely new view of the nature of modern popular entertainment. American vaudeville is here regarded as the carefully elaborated ritual serving the different and paradoxical myth of the new urban folk. It demonstrates that the compulsive myth-making faculty in man is not limited to primitive ethnic groups or to serious art, that vaudeville cannot be dismissed as meaningless and irrelevant simply because it fits neither the criteria of formal criticsm or the familiar patterns of anthropological study. Using the methods for criticism developed by Susanne K. Langer and others, the author evaluates American vaudeville as a symbolic manifestation of basic values shared by the American people during the period 1885-1930. By examining vaudeville as folk ritual, the book reveals the unconscious symbolism basic to vaudeville-in its humor, magic, animal acts, music, and playlets, and also in the performers and the managers—which gave form to the dominant American myth of success. This striking view of the new mass man as a folk and of his mythology rooted in the very empirical science devoted to dispelling myth has implications for the serious study of all forms of mass entertainment in America. The book is illustrated with a number of striking photographs.

Download or read book Introduction to Ecological Aesthetics written by Fanren Zeng and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book explores in detail the issues of ecological civilization development, ecological philosophy, ecological criticism, environmental aesthetics, and the ecological wisdom of traditional Chinese culture related to ecological aesthetics. Drawing on Western philosophy and aesthetics, it proposes and demonstrates a unique aesthetic view of ecological ontology in the field of aesthetics under the direct influence of Marxism, which is based on the modern economic, social cultural development and the modern values of traditional Chinese culture.This book embodies the innovative interpretation of Chinese traditional culture in the Chinese academic community. The author discusses the philosophical and cultural resources that can be used for reference in Chinese and Western cultural tradition, focusing on traditional Chinese Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and painting art, Western modern ecological philosophy, Heidegger's ontology ecological aesthetics, and British and American environmental aesthetics.In short, the book comprehensively discusses the author's concept of ecological ontology aesthetics as an integration and unification of ontology aesthetics and ecological aesthetics. This generalized ecological aesthetics explores the relationship between humans and nature, society and itself, guided by the brand-new ecological worldview in the post-modern context. It also changes the non-beauty state of human existence and establishes an aesthetic existence state that conforms to ecological laws.
