Stand Straight and Grow Tall by Dolores Howell Pdf

Imagine going to a grocery store in a foreign country, looking for baby food for your little one, having only the pictures to go by to find anything your baby can eat. Delores Howell lived this, not in a foreign land, but in the U.S.A., and not for just a short visit, but for a lifetime - she was illiterate. Try as she might, she could not read, nor spell. Everything may just as well have been in a foreign language.Dory did go through school and tried very hard to learn, but due to a severe learning disability, dyslexia, she was unable to learn to read. Dyslexia was unknown when Dory was in school in the 1940's and 1950's. Teachers did not understand that she did not see or hear like other children. Ashamed of her illiteracy, Dory hid the fact from everyone - her parents, her sisters, her friends, even her husband. By the time she was a mother of four young children, she realized she had to get help to learn to read, not only for her own sake, but for her children as well. Desperately she sought help, but she had to convince people of her disability before she could find anyone who would, or could, help. Stand Straight and Grow Tall is Dory's true story of her lifetime struggle against illiteracy. Dory's story is the story, of so many in our society even today, and they are not just school children. Dorey tells of her struggle with words, and with educators, administrators, counselors, psychologists - even with God. How could God let her go through all of this? Yet it is her faith in God that kept her going. Dory's story is one of hope and is a valuable lesson for parents, educators and all who come in contact with people with learning disabilities. Understanding how dyslexia effects a person's perceptions and the problems this disability causes, is the first step to understanding how to educate dyslexic persons. Besides some updated content, this revised edition of "Stand Straight and Grow Tall" contains some of Dolores Howell's poetry and prose, not in the original edition.

Postcards in the Library by Norman D Stevens Pdf

Postcards, individually and collectively, contain a great deal of information that can be of real value to students and researchers. Postcards in the Library gives compelling reasons why libraries should take a far more active and serious interest in establishing and maintaining postcard collections and in encouraging the use of these collections. It explains the nature and accessibility of existing postcard collections; techniques for acquiring, arranging, preserving, and handling collections; and ways to make researchers and patrons aware of these collections. Postcards in the Library asserts that, in most cases, existing postcard collections are a vastly underutilized scholarly resource. Editor Norman D. Stevens urges librarians to help change this since postcards, as items for mass consumption and often with no apparent conscious literary or social purpose, are a true reflection of the society in which they were produced. Stevens claims that messages written on postcards may also reveal a great deal about individual and/or societal attitudes and ideas. Chapters in Postcards in the Library are written by librarians who manage postcard collections, postcard collectors, and researchers. Some of the authors have undertaken major research projects that demonstrate the ways in which postcards can be used in research, and that have begun to establish a standard methodology for the analysis of postcards. They write about: major postcard collections, including the Institute of Deltiology and the Curt Teich Postcard Archives the use of postcards for scholarly research postcard conservation and preservation, arrangement and organization, and importance and value Postcards in the Library describes the postcard collections in a variety of libraries of different kinds and sizes and indicates very real ways in which the effective use of postcard collections can result in and contribute to substantive, scholarly publications. It also offers advice and suggestions on the myriad issues that libraries face in handling these ephemeral fragments of popular culture. Special collections librarians, postcard collectors, postcard dealers, and historical societies will find the information in Postcards in the Library refreshing and practical. Libraries with established postcard collections or those thinking about developing postcard collections will use it as a valuable planning tool and start-to-finish guide.

Assertiveness In A Week by Dena Michelli Pdf

'A useful confidence-building tool for those whose key aim is to find their inner power' Edge Online Being more assertive just got easier Much has been spoken about the assertive communication style, not all of it complimentary! Many people confuse it with being aggressive, bamboozling others into submission and getting what you want, despite what they want. However, assertive communication is not domineering; it's just a means of saying what you mean, meaning what you say and allowing others to do the same. Taking the decision to adopt assertive behaviour will mark the beginning of a new way of life: a way of life where you make your own decisions and choices without feeling guilty, and where you are in control, not those around you. By working through some simple steps, and by testing the techniques out in a 'safe' environment, you will soon become confident in your new-found powers of assertion. You will be able to command the respect of others, achieve your personal and professional goals and raise your self-esteem. The steps to assertive behaviour you will cover in this book are: - Understand the different styles of communication and the effect they have. - Identify your own style(s) of communication. - Know your own worth and the worth of others. - Be clear about your goals. - Be prepared to learn from your successes and failures. - Be flexible, and don't expect too much. - Learn to listen. Each of the seven chapters in Assertiveness In A Week covers a different aspect of being assertive: - Sunday: Preparing the foundations - Monday: Creating winning scenarios - Tuesday: Dealing with the 'negative' - Wednesday: Creating a positive impression - Thursday: Being assertive in public - Friday: Body language - Saturday: Personal power
