Like three out of four children with reading difficulties, Charles is a boy. He started school with limited experience with print, struggled through activities with letters and sounds, and tended to be off task when there was independent reading time. He learned in second grade to have his reading buddy do most of the reading. By third grade, when most of his classmates were fairly fluent, Charles was still guessing at words, using picture clues and avoiding books whenever he could. There are few tasks more challenging for teachers than reaching struggling middle school readers like Charles. Like many struggling readers, Charles has problems that can be diagnosed. Increasing the quantity and quality of his reading There is extensive research to support the premise that the best way to become a better reader is to read more.

VOYA Five Libraries Collaborate On Reader’s Advisory Project | Finding Heroes Five libraries (four in Queensland and one in New Zealand) collaborated to create Beyond The Lavender Keeper Reading Map in recognition of of Australia’s 2013 Get Reading Campaign. Click on the image to read the booklet The challenge was to produce a reading map of The Lavender Keeper to coincide with a visit to four Queensland public libraries by author Fiona McIntosh in mid-September as part of Australia’s 2013 Get Reading Campaign. The project began six weeks ago when Alison Miles from CityLibraries Townsville asked if I was interested in doing another reading map (see our previous collaborative reading map Beyond Chocolat) along with three other librarians – Jo Beazley from Toowoomba Regional Libraries, Louise Pieper from Gold Coast Libraries, and Tina Cavanough from Moreton Bay Region Libraries – who were all hosting Fiona McIntosh at their libraries within the same week. The reading map design further dictated the number of titles selected and the amount of content per title.
Free eBooks at Planet eBook - 80+ Classic Novels and Literature Book Reviews | IEEE Computer Society - IEEECS by Scott Brookhart Procedural programming has been around since the inception of computers and programming. Object-oriented paradigms arrived a little later — in the late 1950s to early 1960s — which means over 50 years of object-oriented problem solving. Not having read the previous editions, I'm not familiar with the changes represented in this fourth edition. Weisfeld has organized the concepts to build on each other, ensuring that students understand one concept well before moving to the next. The book is language-neutral. Each chapter contains UML and example code to better understand the concepts and see how they're implemented. Overall, I can recommend this book to code developers, designers, and testers — to anyone with an interest in proper software development semantics. Scott Brookhart is a software engineer in Austin, Texas. Showing 1 - 1 of 72 results.

But there’s not always an opportunity for a traditional reader’s advisory interview and some readers prefer to find their own books or use passive reader’s advisory materials when searching out their next great read. I often make lists—grocery lists, to-do lists, wish lists—but plain, old book lists, while instructive and useful, can be kinda boring. Flowcharts are great to organize information with complex relationships and tiered groupings. For example, The Hunger Games has multiple appeal factors. Around the time The Hunger Games movie went into production a number of new releases started being touted as read-alikes. The wild popularity of The Hunger Games also shed a new light on older titles that had been published prior to The Hunger Games.
