This book heralds a new line in thinking why the illiteracy rate has been maintained at the same level for decades. It's easy to blame the child as if he were the problem, and not the failure of instruction. There is a basic foundation for teaching that has to be in place for learning to occur. For learning to occur one needs to master the first R – Reading without which the other two R’s (wRiting and aRithmetics) are difficult to attain. The bottom line is that illiteracy has remained the same throughout the years because of wrong teaching methods. Once a kid has already disengaged because of being confused, fun and encouragement and motivation will not work. This is why illiteracy level has not come down in more than 30 years. Educators have tried everything except tackling the root cause of why kids disengage from learning to read in the first place. This book tells exactly why kids shut down from learning to read. This book tells you how to prevent kids from disengaging from learning to read. When ideas from this book are implemented illiteracy will be eradicated.

An awe-inspiring autobiographical picture book about a young African American girl who lived during the shutdown of public schools in Farmville, Virginia, following the landmark civil rights case Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka. Most people think that the Brown vs. Board of Education decision of 1954 meant that schools were integrated with deliberate speed. But the children of Prince Edward County located in Farmville, Virginia, who were prohibited from attending formal schools for five years knew differently, including Yolanda. Told by Yolanda Gladden herself, cowritten by Dr. Tamara Pizzoli and with illustrations by Keisha Morris, When the Schools Shut Down is a true account of the unconstitutional effort by white lawmakers of this small Virginia town to circumvent racial justice by denying an entire generation of children an education. Most importantly, it is a story of how one community triumphed together, despite the shutdown.

Do you feel like you have lost your balance or lost yourself? Is your system on high alert all the time; or are you feeling more stressed than normal, anxious, or even sad? Stop, Shut Down, Restart: The Science of Finding Your Body, Mind and Soul Connection. The author shares her personal journey of dealing with nervous system issues that started during the pandemic for unexplained reasons. After giving up everything she had worked on her entire life, she embarked on a path of self-discovery that led her to study the science of the nervous system and seek holistic ways of healing. The book explores the different cultures, routines, and medicinal practices that helped the author find balance in life again. The journey was not easy, as it involved confronting difficult truths about the author's past. However, the author embraces openness and brings these issues to the surface. The book is an inspiring tale of how one can overcome adversity and find happiness and health again by purposefully failing and becoming in tune with oneself and by listening to the signs of the universe around them.
