Download or read book The Enchanted Hour written by Meghan Cox Gurdon and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Wall Street Journal writer’s conversation-changing look at how reading aloud makes adults and children smarter, happier, healthier, more successful and more closely attached, even as technology pulls in the other direction. A miraculous alchemy occurs when one person reads to another, transforming the simple stuff of a book, a voice, and a bit of time into complex and powerful fuel for the heart, brain, and imagination. Grounded in the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, and drawing widely from literature, The Enchanted Hour explains the dazzling cognitive and social-emotional benefits that await children, whatever their class, nationality or family background. But it’s not just about bedtime stories for little kids: Reading aloud consoles, uplifts and invigorates at every age, deepening the intellectual lives and emotional well-being of teenagers and adults, too. Meghan Cox Gurdon argues that this ancient practice is a fast-working antidote to the fractured attention spans, atomized families and unfulfilling ephemera of the tech era, helping to replenish what our devices are leaching away. For everyone, reading aloud engages the mind in complex narratives; for children, it’s an irreplaceable gift that builds vocabulary, fosters imagination, and kindles a lifelong appreciation of language, stories and pictures. Bringing together the latest scientific research, practical tips, and reading recommendations, The Enchanted Hour will both charm and galvanize, inspiring readers to share this invaluable, life-altering tradition with the people they love most.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reading-Literature: Fourth Reader The frost-giants were always trying to get into Asgard. For more than half the year they held the world in their grasp. They locked up the streams in their rocky beds, hushing their music and the music of the birds as well. They left nothing but a wild waste under the cold Sky. They hated the warm sunshine which stirs the wild flowers out of their Sleep, and covers the mountains with verdure, and sets all the birds a-singing in the tree-tops. Above all, they hated Thor, whose flashing hammer drove them back into J O'-tun-heim and guarded the summer Sky. So long as Thor had his hammer Asgard was safe against the giants.

Download or read book The Health Reader Black and White Edition Yesterday s Classics written by W. Hoskyns-Abrahall and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An engaging introduction to the systems of the human body and the components of the environment that affect health. In the first half of the book the reader learns about the various systems that make up the body-digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and excretory, as well as the muscles, bones, and joints that allow it to move, the sense organs that enable it to interact with its environment, and the brain and nervous system that control it all. Over two dozen labeled illustrations are included that students can render in their own notebooks as part of the learning process. For further study the author recommends examination of animal organs, such as eye, heart, kidney, and brain that can be obtained from the butcher or purchased in a dissecting kit. The second half of the book deals with establishing habits conducive to healthy living, through choices in clothing, food, and home environment. Given that the choices were more limited a century ago when this book was written, the second half of this book is less useful than the first. The four color illustrations in the original edition are rendered in black and white in this edition. Visit the Yesterday's Classics website for a downloadable pdf of the four color illustrations.

Download or read book How to Talk About Books You Haven t Read written by Pierre Bayard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this delightfully witty, provocative book, literature professor and psychoanalyst Pierre Bayard argues that not having read a book need not be an impediment to having an interesting conversation about it. (In fact, he says, in certain situations reading the book is the worst thing you could do.) Using examples from such writers as Graham Greene, Oscar Wilde, Montaigne, and Umberto Eco, he describes the varieties of "non-reading"-from books that you've never heard of to books that you've read and forgotten-and offers advice on how to turn a sticky social situation into an occasion for creative brilliance. Practical, funny, and thought-provoking, How to Talk About Books You Haven't Read-which became a favorite of readers everywhere in the hardcover edition-is in the end a love letter to books, offering a whole new perspective on how we read and absorb them.
Download or read book The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series Classic Reprint written by Marcius Willson and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fourth Reader of the Popular Series With reference to the few "Oral Exercises" found at the bottoms of pages in this and the preceding numbers, we would say, that they are not designed, in the least, to teach grammar; but to lead pupils in a natural, easy and philosophical way, and of their own efforts, to comprehend the meaning of what they read, and to explain it to others, void of technicalities. The Writing Exercises have a still higher object. They are a novel, and, as we believe, truly philosophical method of daily drill in the construction of sentences. As here planned they are exercises that will not be found at all difficult for those who go through them systematically, from the beginning of the book, while, at the same time, they will require some thought, on the part of pupils, to change the phraseology as required, - and more and more of it as the pupil advances; while in the latter part of this Fourth Reader he will find that he may exercise his judgment still further in selecting the best among several possible forms of expression. - [See the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Series of Exercises, pp. 200, 225, and 289.] It may be asked, "Why encumber a Reading Book with Exercises of this character, - and why not devote a separate work to them instead?" We answer, "Because they are very appropriately connected with lessons in reading, and really form part of them; - because they are much cheaper in this form than in any other; - and, what is most important, because they will be used extensively in this form, and without the necessity of separate classes in the school, and separate books." They are, moreover, to some extent, brief analyses of the Chapters; and hence, in addition to their main object, they serve as a kind of daily review of the reading lessons. Having long been convinced, both from our experience as a teacher and from the well-known views of prominent educators, that children are seldom provided with sufficient school-reading in their Reading Books, we have made most of the numbers of the present series somewhat larger than is usual. We have aimed, thereby, to make the gradation, from the beginning, very easy, and still to attain as high a standard in the selections of the Fifth, and the Supplementary number, as the needs of pupils require. There is little danger that the amount of interesting and useful school-reading will be too abundant. Parents can provide their children with no better, safer, or cheaper reading - considering quality and adaptability - than is generally found in their Reading Books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Classics: Fourth Reader A classic is something more easily known than defined. It is not necessarily abstruse, difficult, or remote from common life. It is a piece of literature that has received the approval of good judges for a long enough time to make that approval settled. Like good music, it cannot grow old; it is last year's rag-time that becomes unpleasant, not the good old songs. A classic may be as old as Homer, or as new as Hawthorne; it may be as difficult as Dante, or as simple as Mother Goose.
