Promoting Awareness of Speech Sounds Package


Book Description

PASS leads to reading It is the first-ever, research-based, phonological awareness program for preschoolers that extends to early elementary-aged children. It is aligned to state and national standards, including the common core standards for English Language Arts. Goldie the Dog is the program mascot--she makes it all really fun Goldie is an engaging puppy hand-puppet that will motivate your young students to rhyme, segment and blend syllables, and segment and blend phonemes--the phonological awareness skills that lead to early literacy skills. Six distinct research studies have demonstrated that direct instruction using PASS--which includes 3 units of instruction (Rhyming, Blending, and Segmentation) and 76 lessons of instruction--has a significant positive effect on childrena (TM)s development of phonological awareness skills. PASS explicitly addresses national Head Start and state Preschool Learning Fundamentals outcomes in the areas of Language and Literacy and supports development in outcomes for Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Creative Arts Expression, and Physical Development and Health. The complete PASS kit includes: Three spiralbound Teachera (TM)s Guides: Rhyming, Blending, Segmentation Spiralbound Student Flip Book Spiralbound Implementation Guide Goldie the puppy puppet 9 storybooks 7 game boards with game pieces 380 game cards Miscellaneous manipulative materials based on a puppy theme PDFs on CD-ROM

Annual Review in Automatic Programming


Book Description

Annual Review in Automatic Programming, Volume 4 is a collection of papers that deals with the GIER ALGOL compiler, a parameterized compiler based on mechanical linguistics, and the JOVIAL language. A couple of papers describes a commercial use of stacks, an IBM system, and what an ideal computer program support system should be. One paper reviews the system of compilation, the development of a more advanced language, programming techniques, machine independence, and program transfer to other machines. Another paper describes the ALGOL 60 system for the GIER machine including running ALGOL programs, storage allocation, addressing of variables, program references, procedure calls, storage problem of the translator, and writing the translator. Another paper investigates the internal operation of the ALGOL translator, the source and target languages, the parts of the translator, Polish postfix notation, symbol table in the translator, and the realization of the stack concept. One paper examines the components for a large digital computer, specific features, and compares these to IBM's IBSYS. The collection will prove valuable for programmers, computer engineers, computer instructors, and students of computer science.
