Developing essential literacy skills
by Robin Cohen (2008)
About this book
"The continuum of lessons presented in this book is based on a simple, effective premise: introduce and reinforce essential literacy skills starting in kindergarten, then build on these skills in each successive year, and children will be reading and writing at grade level by the end of grade 3. More important, students will have the foundation necessary to continue to develop their literacy skills throughout their formal education. The book's research-based reading and writing lesson plans follow a balanced literacy model and include the following: plenty of modeling, scaffolding, guided practice, and independent practice; a focus on skills such as writing letters and personal narratives, understanding genres, and recognizing story elements and main idea; step-by-step procedures that are easy to follow and implement immediately; supplemental reproducibles and lists of suggested texts; similar terminology and methods throughout the grades so students and teachers start on even footing each year. Best of all, with minor modifications, you can implement this framework into your existing curriculum. Primary-grade students deserve a solid literacy foundation, and their teachers deserve quality instructional ideas to help them meet state and federally mandated goals. This resource provides both and can serve as a great tool for any teacher, administrator, curriculum developer, or literacy specialist."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.

General Grant
Matthew Arnold
General Grant by Matthew Arnold with a Rejoinder by Mark Twain presents conflicting essays and cultures. Matthew Arnold's 1886 essay on Grant praised the general and his posthumously published Memoirs, but to many Americans its tone seemed patronizing of their hero and country. Grant's friend and personal benefactor, Mark Twain, delivered a caustic rejoinder to the Army and Navy Club of Connecticut in April 1887. Thus Arnold became a pet prejudice of Twain's and may have served as an inspiration for A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. In this volume, Twain's rejoinder is published in a correct text for the first time since the Hartford Courant printed his speech.
