SAGE Publications Inc This Is Balanced Literacy, Grades K-6
Book SynopsisThis is Balanced Literacy: Grades K-6 Students learn to read and write best when their teachers balance literacy instruction. But how do you strike the right balance of skills and knowledge, reading and writing, small and whole group instruction, and direct and dialogic instruction, so that all students can learn to their maximum potential? The answer lies in the intentional design of learning activities, purposeful selection of instructional materials, evidence-based teaching methods, and in strategic groupings of students based on assessment data. Together, these create the perfect balance of high impact learning experiences that engage and excite learners. In this hands-on essential guide, best-selling authors Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and Nancy Akhavan help you define that balance for your students, lighting the path to implementing balanced literacy in your classroom. Their plan empowers you to integrate evidence-based approaches that include: • Instructional materials comprised of both informational and narrative texts. • The best uses of instructional delivery modes, including direct and dialogic instruction. • Grouping patterns that work best to accomplish learning aims for different learners at different stages. • Instruction in foundational skills and meaning making, including oral language, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. • Technology used as a tool for increasing learning of a specific literary process. All the tips and tools you need to realize the goal of balanced literacy learning are included, with classroom videos that show strategies in action. Tap your intuition, collaborate with your peers, and put the research-based strategies embedded in this roadmap to work in your classroom to implement or deepen a strong, successful balanced literacy program. Grow as a reading and writing teacher while leading your students to grow as readers and writers. Trade ReviewThese authors (if more than you!) have brilliantly synthesized evidence-based best practices for quality instruction - breaking down the complexities of a balanced literacy classroom and aligning excellent instruction with formative assessment to meet the needs of all learners.

Hanks"Balanced literacy means different things to different people. In This Is Balanced Literacy, Fisher, Frey, and Akhavan take a research-based, best-practices look at what balanced literacy can and should be.

Chicago Review Press Salvador Dalí and the Surrealists: Their Lives
Book SynopsisThe bizarre and often humorous creations of René Magritte, Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí, and other surrealists are showcased in this activity guide for young artists. Foremost among the surrealists, Salvador Dalí was a painter, filmmaker, designer, performance artist, and eccentric self-promoter. His famous icons, including the melting watches, double images, and everyday objects set in odd contexts, helped to define the way people view reality and encourage children to view the world in new ways. Dalí's controversial life is explored while children trace the roots of some familiar modern images. These wild and wonderful activities include making Man Ray-inspired solar prints, filming a Dali-esque dreamscape video, writing surrealist poetry, making collages, and assembling art with found objects.Trade Review"For years I have waited for an appropriate book to recommend to students and teachers that communicates Dalí's truly remarkable life and ideas without compromising his complexity in its presentation. . . . I am thrilled to recommend Michael Ross's wonderful new book on Salvador Dalí." --Peter Tush, curator of education, Salvador Dalí Museum (from the foreword)Table of ContentsKing Dalí; Lessons for a Young Artist; A Leap into the Subconscious; Dalí and the Surrealists; Dalí the Clown Prince; Celebrity Artist; Glossary; Index.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Bildung durch Bindung: Fruhpadagogik: inklusiv
Book SynopsisAuf dem Feld der Elementarpädagogik und inklusiven Bildung tummeln sich viele Besserwisser, die dem Kind das Kindsein rauben trotz Warnungen aus Psychologie, Neurologie und Psychotherapie.Kinderseelen brauchen Zeit und Raum, um sich zu entfalten und nicht zu zerbrechen. Diese einfache Regel wird heute oftmals vernachlässigt: Der Leistungsdruck wächst und viele Kitas verwandeln sich in output-zentrierte Förderstätten. Dabei bringt nur einfühlsame pädagogische Begleitung und Führung Kinder auf den Weg zu beziehungsfähigen, lern-, arbeits- und leistungsfähigen Menschen.Praxisbezogen zeigen Armin Krenz und Ferdinand Klein, wie bindungsorientierte und inklusive Pädagogik gelingen kann. Internationale wie nationale Praxisbeispiele werden dabei ebenso thematisiert wie die Beziehungsebene zwischen der Fachkraft und der Familie.
