Summer Reading
Author: Fay H. Shin
Publisher: Rosen Classroom
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Well-researched and often cited, this book is the go-to resource for literacy development through recreational reading on summer break. Shin and Krashen report that children who read recreationally over the summer return to the school year with gains in literacy, while children who do not backslide. Independent, voluntary reading will occur--whether skilled or challenged--as long as children are given access to books of quality and interest. An informative but friendly narrative explains the research-based plan for designing successful summer literacy programs. The appendix includes activities, blackline masters, and advice for commonly experienced challenges, such as working with administrators on summer program needs.

Three Lines in a Circle
Author: Michael G. Long
Publisher: Presbyterian Publishing Corp
ISBN: 1646981960
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
One line straight down. One line to the right. One line to the left, then a circle. That was all—just three lines in a circle. This bold picture book tells the story of the peace symbol—designed in 1958 by a London activist protesting nuclear weapons—and how it inspired people all over the world. Depicting the symbol's travels from peace marches and liberation movements to the end of apartheid and the fall of the Berlin Wall, Three Lines in a Circle offers a message of inspiration to today's children and adults who are working to create social change. An author’s note provides historical background and a time line of late twentieth-century peace movements.

Book Description
STEM! You’ve probably heard of it by now: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. STEM programming took the library world by storm in 2013, and is still going strong today. Don’t let this trendy programming theme fool you, though - STEM skills are more than just a fad; they are essential.

Clear, concise instructions for incorporating STEM skills into your regular series, one-off, or outreach programming for all budget ranges and age groups. Breaking down barriers – providing STEM programs for underserved populations such as newcomers and young girls. Engaging your community to make the most out of possible STEM based partnerships and resources. Pop culture program samples -- learn how pop culture STEM programs aim to include more than just your self-proclaimed budding scientists in their appeal, and ideally inspire a wider range of children to imagine what their own STEM-skilled futures might look like.
