    Atebol Cyfyngedig Cyfres Amdani: Gangsters yn y Glaw

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisA book for Welsh learners, Entry Level, in the 'Amdani' series. Elsa Bowen works as a private detective. She usually deals with insurance fraud, but that all changes on this Wednesday morning. Elsa B's attention is drawn to the bookshop in Caernarfon where strange things are happening. The story focuses on Lilith Lewis, a local gangster who causes trouble.Trade ReviewMae’r nofel hon yn ticio sawl bocs: 1.) Mae’n berffaith ar gyfer dysgwyr lefel Mynediad, ac mae’r paragraff cyntaf mor syml: “Elsa Bowen dw i. Ditectif preifat dw i. Dw i’n byw yng Nghaernarfon.” Bydd yn rhoi hyder i’r dysgwr o’r cychwyn cyntaf. Mae’r ail baragraff yn defnyddio ‘roedd’ ac ‘mi wnes’ ac mae’r patrymau yn aros yn gyson syml at y diwedd. Ond mae’r awdur yn diwtor Cymraeg hynod brofiadol sydd wedi dysgu’r iaith ei hunan, flynyddoedd yn ôl, felly yn ddewis perffaith. 2.) Nofel dditectif ydi hi – rhywbeth prin yn y Gymraeg. 3.) Mae llawer o’r stori yn digwydd mewn siop lyfrau! Syniad gwych sy’n gweithio’n dda. 4.) Mae hi wedi ei lleoli yn y gogledd – Caernarfon, i fod yn fanwl gywir, ac mae llyfrau ar gyfer dysgwyr sydd wedi eu lleoli yn y gogledd, efo iaith ogleddol, wedi bod yn brin iawn tan yn ddiweddar. 5.) Nid addasiad mohoni, ond nofel wreiddiol o ben a phastwn Pegi, sy’n ei gwneud yn llawer mwy diddorol a pherthnasol. 6.) Merch gref yw’r prif gymeriad – a’r dihiryn. 7.) Mae’n perthyn i gyfres, sef Cyfres Amdani. Mae’r llyfrau i gyd wedi eu harchwilio’n ofalus gan yr un criw, felly bydd y patrymau iaith a’r eirfa yn gyson. Hefyd, maen nhw wedi eu graddoli ar bedair lefel, a dyma’r lefel gyntaf, felly bydd y dysgwyr yn gallu symud ymlaen gam wrth gam a thrwy hynny yn gweld y cynnydd yn eu gallu i ddarllen a deall Cymraeg. 8.) Mae ynddi luniau – rhai du a gwyn gan Hywel Griffith, yn arddull hen lyfrau ditectif. Maen nhw’n sicr yn ychwanegu at y testun ac yn help i gynnal y naws noir. 9.) Mae’r eirfa ar waelod pob tudalen ond hefyd mewn bold yn y stori, ac eto wedyn mewn rhestr yn ôl y wyddor yn y cefn. Defnyddiol iawn. A be am y stori ei hun? Mae’n gweithio: ro’n i’n hoffi Elsa, y prif gymeriad yn arw. Fel pob ditectif da, dydi hi ddim yn berffaith. O ran y plot, ro’n i eisiau gwybod be oedd yn y llyfrau roedd y ‘gangsters’ yn dod i’w casglu o’r siop, ond wna i ddim difetha’r stori i chi fan hyn. Ac ro’n i’n arbennig o hoff o’r diweddglo, sy’n awgrymu’n gynnil bod mwy o helyntion Elsi i ddod. Ond dydi hi byth yn glawio yng Nghaernarfon go iawn, wrth gwrs! -- Bethan Gwanas @ www.gwales.com

Se incluyen además un extenso glosario de palabras, así como explicaciones detalladas de aTrade Review"Macías Fernández and Pountain have curated an exciting collection of ultra-contemporary short texts that vary in theme, difficulty, country of origin, and type of source text. The accompanying activities will help students master vocabulary and key grammatical topics, while helping teachers assess comprehension and organize class discussions and projects."Judy Hochberg, Fordham University, USA."From inclusive language to artivism in Cuba, from the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea to the fight for justice in El Salvador, El mundo hispanohablante en textos offers a rich, vibrant collection of texts accompanied by carefully-designed activities that bring to life the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Hispanic world. A very welcome resource."Ángeles Carreres, University of Cambridge, UK. "El mundo hispanohablante en textos approaches the didactisation of authentic written texts for the Spanish-language classroom in a fresh and reinvigorating way. This is an invaluable resource that not only offers students a glimpse into the Hispanic world through texts, but also supports Spanish-language educators in fostering a pluricentric language learning experience for students. An essential addition to any intermediate or advanced Spanish-language course." Craig Neville, University College Cork, Ireland. "The collection of texts which has been assembled by Macías Fernández and Pountain successfully brings up to date and improves on the long-standing tradition of Spanish readers. With modern Panhispanic verve, they have selected texts not only from Europe (Spain) and America (various countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Chile), but also from Africa (Equatorial Guinea). This collection will be excellent for intermediate and advanced students who are trying to improve their lexical knowledge, syntactic competence and sociolinguistic insight in Spanish, thanks not only to the variety of pedagogical activities it offers but also to the extensive glossary provided."Daniel M. Sáez Rivera, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Centro Complutense para la Enseñanza del Español, Spain."It is really inspiring to see how Macías Fernández and Pountain have managed to create through El mundo hispanoblante en textos a much-needed resource in the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language in Higher Education and beyond which shows the pluricultural and global dimensions of the subject under study. The collection of texts and authors is a tribute to these aspects, and it arrives at a time when real efforts are being made to decolonise the curriculum. The variety of themes and activities that the book covers will provide learners and teachers with a very valuable set of tools to enhance their understanding of the Spanish-speaking cultures."Isabel Moros, University of Exeter, UK."Reading comprehension is fundamental to language learning. The reader El mundo hispanohablante en textos is a magnificent tool both for teachers and students of Spanish, introducing us to the different realities which coexist in the Spanish-speaking world. Reading and working with this book has a double usefulness, both linguistic and cultural.La comprensión lectora resulta primordial para consolidar el aprendizaje de una lengua: el libro de lecturas El mundo hispanohablante en textos representa una magnífica herramienta, tanto para profesores como para estudiantes de español, además de acercarnos a diferentes realidades que conviven en el mundo hispano. Leer este libro y trabajar con él nos aporta una doble utilidad, la lingüística y la cultural."Rafael Nevado Gómez, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain."'Variety is the spice of life', as the traditional proverb goes. Thanks to this anthology, collated by Macías Fernández and Pountain, this can be applied not only to life, but also to the Spanish L2 classroom. The texts selected by the authors are as diverse and rich as the Spanish-speaking world itself. Beyond their variety, the authenticity of the teaching materials included (discussion prompts, modern cultural content, vocabulary, grammar, and writing exercises, all with accompanying answer keys) make this new anthology the new "spice" of every innovative Spanish classroom."Pedro García Guirao, Ostrava University / Instituto Cervantes, Czech Republic.Table of ContentsIntroducciónAgradecimientosLista de abreviaturasParte I: Nivel B2Capítulo 1 (Argentina)Contenido temático y lingüísticoIntroducción al capítuloEl texto: Perdiendo velocidad (Samanta Schweblin).Actividad 1.1.

    Book SynopsisThe science of reading meets the art of teaching readers Do you have the knowledge and instructional ability to effectively teach foundational skills and to support students who show signs of reading difficulties? It is a tall order and one that challenges many new and veteran teachers. How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK-3 builds on decades of evidence and years of experience to help teachers understand how the brain learns to read and how to apply that understanding to Tier 1 instruction. The book includes: step-by-step descriptions of techniques for effectively teaching phonological awareness, spelling, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension specific Tier 1 activities, routines, and frameworks that build and strengthen word recognition and language comprehension links to video demonstrations and online resources clear, practical explanations of the scieTrade Review"This book is so much more than a "few great strategies to try on." Rather, it explains the science of how our reading brains work, so that we acknowledge all that the brain does when making sense of text. How to Prevent Reading Difficulties can benefit both new and seasoned practitioners in two ways: First, these powerful strategies detail specific yet practical activities, routines, and techniques that teachers can use to teach all children the basics of reading, and second, because these practices focus on establishing a strong foundation, they also help teachers to prevent reading difficulties through strong Tier 1 instruction." -- Hilda Martinez"Master teacher Mark Weakland serves up a smorgasbord of evidence-based best teaching practices in How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK–3, presented with the science of reading in ways you will understand. This smart and fun-to-read teaching guide gives you the bread, butter, cheese, meat and potato routines for ensuring that virtually all students learn to read, write, and spell." -- J. Richard Gentry"I will be suggesting this title to all of my preservice and early career teachers who are searching for a comprehensive guide to the science of reading and an understanding of how the reading brain works. Not only does Mark Weakland provide a thorough explanation of literacy development and skills, he also helps us understand reading difficulties, how to support students who struggle, and the related research basis. With practical suggestions and engaging vignettes, Mark Weakland helps inform teachers on best practices to support all students." -- Molly Ness"From brain research to building better readers, Mark Weakland’s How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK–3—Proactive Practices for Teaching Young Children to Read provides a very readable and actionable approach to overcoming reading difficulties in young children. This is definitely a book worth reading and having on hand as a guide for developing reading instruction that works." -- Timothy Rasinski"In How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK–3, Mark Weakland begins by taking you on a tour of the inner workings of the reading brain. With this landscape as your backdrop, he showcases five highly effective teaching techniques to weave into your repertoire. The chapters that follow offer a helpful collection of proactive practices and activities that will boost readers’ understanding of the dynamic interplay among meaning, sounds, and spelling." -- Maria Walther"In How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK–3: Proactive Practices for Teaching Young Children to Read, Mark Weakland offers a wealth of practical instructional activities and routines to maximize student learning in phonological awareness, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension, and more. This resource is grounded in the latest research drawn from multiple sciences examining how children learn to read. It’s a valuable addition to any teacher’s bookshelf." -- Wiley Blevins"I am so excited and grateful for Mark Weakland’s latest work. How to Prevent Reading Difficulties, Grades PreK–3 is a must-read filled with "must dos" for new and experienced elementary educators, coaches, and interventionists. As educators, we often learn the mechanics of how to work with students who are reading at or above grade level, and then later struggle to find the resources and materials needed to support students with greater needs. Mark Weakland does an amazing job bringing us from the mechanics of brain functioning all the way to practical implementation." -- Melissa BlackTable of ContentsChapter 1: The Reading Brain Chapter 2: What Are Reading Difficulties?

There is no debate that reading is fundamental and that reading aloud strongly supports lifelong reading engagement. Technology, however, is ubiquitous in our society, and engagement with it is essential for our success. Reading and technology are therefore in competition for learners'' attention, but by combining reading and technology through use of read-aloud, facilitators can create engaging digital read-aloud programs to enhance the learning experience. Digital read-aloud can be used with multiple age groups, in a variety of settings, and with differing degrees of expense and technology complexity.

    Book SynopsisFisher & Frey's answer to close and critical reading No doubt since the cave paintings of prehistoric times, humans have asked questions to make sense of the message. So what could possibly be new about posing questions about text? Plenty . . . and withTDQ, Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey reveal it all. After one quick read, you will have learned all the very best ways to use text-dependent questions as scaffolds during close reading . . . and the big understandings they can yield, especially when executed the Fisher and Frey way. But that's just for starters. Fisher and Frey also include illustrative video, actual texts and questions, examples from across content areas, and an online professional learning guide, making the two volumes of TDQ a potent professional development tool across all of K-12. The genius ofTDQis the way Fisher and Frey break down the process into four cognitive pathways that help teTrade Review"Fisher and Frey set the record straight about text-dependent questions. They demonstrate that text-dependent questions can address not only literal understanding but also understandings about what the text doesn’t say, how the text works, what the text means to and for the reader, how the text might be read in a specific discipline, and more. With specific prompts and concrete examples, Fisher and Frey show us how to use questioning as a central tool to address the Common Core State Standards." -- NELL K. DUKE"Fisher and Frey have a knack for making complex topics accessible. They write in a jargon-free style that teachers appreciate, and their use of examples and analogies helps bring ideas to life. These are qualities their readers have come to expect, and this book does not disappoint. . . . Teachers will find here an abundance of fresh, practical ideas that are easy to implement. This book deserves a ‘close read,’ and I heartily recommend it." -- MICHAEL MCKENNA"Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey are experts at linking research to educational practice. Their latest book, Text-Dependent Questions, provides teachers with the information they need to scaffold their students’ deep comprehension through four levels of questioning. I am excited to share this book with teachers and colleagues!" -- LINDA DORN"Text-Dependent Questions solidifies Fisher and Frey’s well-earned reputation as literacy experts who offer sane and nuanced interpretations of the Common Core State Standards. They remind us that close reading at its best is a social process, one involving teacher-learner interaction as well as student-to-student talk. While the recommended texts and sample questions are useful, the extended classroom examples are the true heart of the book, demonstrating how skilled practitioners flexibly devise and deploy high-quality questions to serve varied instructional purposes. " -- KELLY CHANDLER-OLCOTT"Fisher and Frey deliver another indispensable resource for teachers of adolescents across the curriculum as they strive to meet today’s more rigorous standards. Mentoring students to grow from dependence on questions provided by others to developing the capacity to "interrogate a text" themselves is fundamental to proficient reading of complex disciplinary texts. Text-Dependent Questions provides teachers with a carefully reasoned pathway for questioning a text as a requisite for close reading." -- DOUGH BUEHL, Author of Classroom Strategies for Interactive Learning"Everything about this book is genuine. From the authors’ candid appraisal of the myths surrounding close reading to their forthright recommendations for teaching it is refreshing. Fisher and Frey have been there, lived the pedagogy, and generated much of the scholarship that makes Text-Dependent Questions both compelling and unpretentious. Readers who have heard this dynamic pair speak at conferences and other professional gatherings are in for a treat; they are indisputably on the frontline when it comes to engaging others in close reading." -- DONNA ALVERMANNTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Chapter 1.
