DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Emilia Ferreiro is one of the great thinkers in the Americas on the issues surrounding literacy. Three of her most important lectures are presented in this book. Her views have changed the systems of education in her own country, Mexico, and have had a radical impact on education in Brazil, where she is the recipient of the country's highest distinction. Her ideas have ideological and political implications for policies regarding publishing (including the publishing of textbooks), access to books and the development of readers all over the world." "Although poor countries have not overcome illiteracy, rich countries are finding that a basic education does not guarantee fully functional readers. While some of us are fluent in the language of hypertext, e-mail and the virtual pages of non-existent books, there are others who have not mastered newspapers or books." "If democracy is incompatible with an illiterate citizenry, full democracy requires an ability to read that goes beyond the deciphering of words. This ability is the right of children who will grow up as free citizens in a world where linguistic and cultural diversity are as important as biodiversity."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJanet Angelillo introduces us to an entirely new way of thinking about writing about reading. She shows us how to teach students to manage all the thinking and questioning that precedes their putting pen to paper. More than that, she offers us smarter ways to have students write about their reading that can last them a lifetime. She demonstrates how students' responses to reading can start in a notebook, in conversation, or in a read aloud lead to thinking guided by literary criticism reflect deeper text analysis and honest writing processes result in a variety of popular genres--book reviews, author profiles, commentaries, editorials, and the literary essay. She even includes tools for teaching-day-by-day units of study, teaching points, a sample minilesson, and lots of student examples-plus chapters on yearlong planning and assessment. Ensure that your students will be readers and writers long after they leave you. Get them enthused and empowered to use whatever they read-facts, statistics, the latest book--as fuel for writing in school and in their working lives. Read Angelillo.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStatistics tell us that children who are not well advanced in the road to literacy by fourth grade are at greatly increased risk of school failure. A growing, robust knowledge base has indentified the typical learning trajectory for reading and educational strategies that make learning to read easier and more certain. Dissenmination of this information is particularly important for African Americans because a high proportion of our children do not become able readers and suffer appalling, economic and social consequences.This was the impetus for the National Blaxck Child Development Institute to convene a working group of outstanding researchers to discuss why African American children are at greater risk for poor reading and what needs to be done to improve their chances.
