Book Description
Books for Young and Early School-Aged Boys This is the fourth in a new series of children’s books, The Adventures of Jay and Gizmo. Although they will be of interest to all children, these books are intended specifically for young and early school-aged Indigenous boys. They are written based on educational research into the factors that have been shown to play a role in increasing the probability that boys will develop an interest in reading at an early age. Educational research has shown that the number one predictor that children will experience long-term success in school is the level of reading readiness that they already have when they begin school. The research also shows that young boys who have been provided with books that have specific characteristics are likely to have a higher level of reading readiness when they begin school. These characteristics are as follows: 1. Books that have a male as the central character; 2. Books that the boys actually own, even if they cannot yet read them by themselves; 3. Books that contain action, adventure, and/or problem by boys; 4. Books that portray the central character modelling behaviours such as reading, problem-solving, searching for, and applying knowledge; 5. Books in which the vocabulary allows them to be read to boys by their parents in their early years and by the boys themselves once they begin to read for themselves.

Hippie Dictionary
Author: John Bassett Mccleary
Publisher: Ten Speed Press
ISBN: 0307814335
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 722
Book Description
Whether you lived through the sixties and seventies or just wish you had, this revised and expanded edition of the Hippie Dictionary entertains as much as it educates. Cultural and political listings such as "Age of Aquarius," "Ceasar Chavez," and "Black Power Movement," plus popular phrases like "acid flashback," "get a grip," and "are you for real?" will remind you of how revolutionary those 20 years were. Although the hippie era spans two decades beginning with the approval of the birth control pill in 1960 and ending with the death of John Lennon in 1980, it wasn't all about sex, drugs, and rock'n' roll. These were the early years of pro-ecology and anti-capitalist beliefs-beliefs that are just as timely as ever. So kick back and trip out on the new entries as well as the old, and discover why some are dubbing the sixties and seventies "the intellectual renaissance of the 20th century."
