One Word for Kids by Jon Gordon,Dan Britton,Jimmy Page Pdf

From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s prob­ably different for everyone. How you find your word is just as important as the word itself. And once you know your word, what do you do with it? In One Word for Kids, bestselling author Jon Gordon—along with coauthors Dan Britton and Jimmy Page—asks these questions to children and adults of all ages, teaching an important life lesson in the process. This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school. His teacher gives the class an assignment: to find the one word that will help them have their best year ever. To discover their one word, they must look inside themselves, look up, and look out. At home, Stevie is upset be­cause he can’t find his word. After his dad offers some helpful advice, Stevie excitedly begins the quest for his word. His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him. An easy read with a powerful message, One Word for Kids appeals to readers of all ages and is an ideal entry point into discussing a valuable lesson in a fun and engaging way.

Teaching Reading to Every Child by Diane Lapp,James Flood,Cynthia H. Brock,Douglas Fisher Pdf

This popular text, now in its Fourth Edition, introduces pre-service and in-service teachers to the most current theories and methods for teaching literacy to children in elementary schools. The methods presented are based on scientific findings that have been tested in many classrooms. A wealth of examples, hands-on activities, and classroom vignettes--including lesson plans, assessments, lists of children's literature books to fiction and nonfiction texts, and more--illustrate the methods and bring them to life.The text highlights the importance of teaching EVERY child to become competent in all of the nuances and complexities of reading, writing, and speaking. The value of reflection and peer discussion in learning to expand their students' literacies is emphasized. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences with reading and teaching throughout their lifetimes--experiences that will serve well in learning to teach reading. "Your Turn" boxes invite readers to think about their views of the material presented, and to talk with colleagues and teachers about their "best ways" of learning this new information. "Did You Notice?" boxes engage readers in observation and analysis of methods and classroom situations discussed in the text. Teachers' stories serve as models of successful teaching and to draw readers into professional dialogue about the ideas and questions raised. End-of-chapter questions and activities provide additional opportunities for reflection and discussion. All of these pedagogical features help readers expand and refine their knowledge in the most positive ways.

Teaching Kids to Read by Fay Lorraine Tran Pdf

Learning to read and write is the most important skill a child needs to acquire-everything else they do in life depends on it, including their school and tertiary studies and their future employment. In 2011, Australia will have a National Curriculum for the first time and the first and most vital component will be teaching literacy using phonics-an easy-to-follow visual system that went out of fashion in the 1980s but is now back with a bang. Phonics will be the preferred method of teaching reading in the new National Curriculum. Fay Tran's TEACHING KIDS TO READ is the first book to explain how ordinary Australian parents with no teaching background themselves can use this method to teach their kids how to read. It will also bring phonics to the generation of teachers who missed out on phonics during the 'reading wars' of the 1980s and 1990s. Friendly, clear instructions are accompanied by case studies that illustrate the amazing transformations to kids' confidence and learning that are possible using this method. While phonics is especially powerful for children with learning difficulties, Fay Tran's book applies equally well to children of all capabilities. Passionately argued, TEACHING KIDS TO READ is not only an essential handbook for every Australian parent and teacher, but also a compelling manifesto for a literate Australia.
