Richard III is undoubtedly the dominant personality in this collection of essays, but not in his capacity as king of England. Richard was Duke of Gloucester far longer than he was king. For most of his career, he was a subject, not a monarch, the equal of the great nobility. He is seen here in the company of his fellows: Warwick the Kingmaker, Clarence, Northumberland, Somerset, Hastings a the Wydevilles. His relations with these rivals, all of whom submitted to him or were crushed, show him in different moods and from various vantage points.
When severe reading and spelling problems are not detected at an early stage in the school context, students may not be able to overcome them even in adulthood. Such problems in the worst cases may lead to developmental dyslexia or developmental dysorthographia, which are severe learning disabilities. Early intervention, though, can prevent these problems. Consequently, involving students in an active writing programme and providing them with ample opportunities to use spelling words in frequent writing can be the answer to such an inquiry. Meaningful writing can further facilitate spelling acquisition since in this manner, they can gain control over their work and learn to focus on the writing process and not exclusively on the final product. The book addresses these issues in order to help educators and clinicians identify such problems early, while it also acts as a practical guide to instruction and assessment.
Mark Gentry, like every other college student just about to graduate, is facing the most difficult decision of his life: what does he want to be when he grows up? Unlike most other graduating seniors, Mark Gentry is a thirty-one year old former professional baseball player without a notion of what he wants to do. Mark's career counselor proposes agriculture as the answer. Mark's girlfriend believes that the solution lies in a ballpark in Helena, Montana. Catchers, Cows, and Nachos, a sequel to 2001's Wildfire Summer, follows Mark Gentry's adventures in the Big Sky Country as he tries to determine his future on the other side of the backstop. While working undercover on the game-day staff of a baseball team, Mark not only stumbles across the answer to his question, he also learns that life is never more perfect than when one is surrounded by the three C's of baseball.
In this groundbreaking new book, Richard Gentry clears the fog that has long shrouded early literacy development and illuminates beginning reading instruction with major new insights from decades of research. Gentry's unifying, comprehensive theory shows how reading and writing develop in fi ve phases:
