Book excerpt: Parents and early childhood teachers know that reading aloud to children is important, but the specific things that adults do while reading with children that make reading a powerful way to improve children’s language, vocabulary, and early literacy skills can remain a mystery.

Active Reading is an approach to reading aloud with young children that is supported by decades of research. Read With Me provides parents and teachers with the knowledge and skills to engage young children (age 2 to 5) in Active Reading with examples, clear explanations, and ideas for making one-on-one or small group read aloud sessions a powerful way to build children’s early literacy and language skills, all while creating a lifelong love of reading.

Book excerpt: Hitchcock's Rear Window meets Messud's The Woman Upstairs in this unnerving, superbly crafted novel which takes readers deep into the mind of a serial stalker and, through him, the lives of his unsuspecting victims. Try it yourself. Go out, pick somebody and watch them. Take your phone and a notebook. Persist. What begins as a confluence of yours and another person's journeys, on the train maybe or leaving a cinema, gets into an entanglement. You follow, feeling that it's not really following because you're going the same way, then when they at last reach their office you feel the clutch of a goodbye. It's normal. But how many times do you think the person being followed has been you? Read Me is a seductive, haunting novel that holds a sinister mirror up to the ways in which we observe, judge, and influence people. Benedictus' prose commands and draws readers into the dark, manipulative mind of a serial stalker as he targets women across London, escalating his efforts until he settles on Frances -- a bright young professional whose career is set to take off -- whose life he proceeds to unravel from the inside, out. A chilling rumination on power, manipulation, complicity, and anonymity, Read Me exposes just how vulnerable we are to the whims of others -- people we may not even know. /DIV/DIV
Download or read book I Think You Read Me written by Maurice Schmidt and published by Maurice Schmidt. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society is in the throes of a fundamental change with the ubiquitous presence of mobile phones. The exchange of ideas and opinions occurs instantaneously and across the globe, representing the apex of our achievement as a species, founded as it is on our ability to communicate and coordinate. Building on learned experiences, we disseminate, refine, and spawn innovative ideas. The pace at which we extrapolate concepts results in an explosive expansion of knowledge and supporting data. Social media as a technology is barely twenty-five years old, hinting at undreamed-of potential as it matures in the future. In parallel, harnessing our newfound communication tools, science continues its relentless march in exploring our place in the universe at the macro and micro levels. Unimagined possibilities lie before us such that it is folly to discard what currently seems unlikely. This forms the basis of the fiction in this book. In barely a century, DNA has traced how people migrated out of Africa to inhabit every corner of the world. Forensic science has also used this foundational building block of life to bring to justice so many crimes. It is entirely feasible that undiscovered technologies lie on the near horizon. What happens when communication, the cornerstone of our success, goes beyond the social media frenzy that is already pervasive?
