200 Write-And-Learn Sight Word Practice Pages


Book Description

The Most Effective Way to Master the 200 Sight Words Essential to your Child's Reading & Writing Success From the trusted name in children's education worldwide comes the biggest and most comprehensive sight word learning and practice workbook. Once your child has mastered these key words they will: ✅ Read far more fluently ✅ Write with greater ease ✅ Spell with increased accuracy ✅ Boost reading comprehension ✅ Accelerate language learning Why Your Child MUST Master Sight Words Sight words are a set of words that constantly appear on almost any page of writing, such as 'who, does, come, we'. They are the building blocks of written language. However, many sight words cannot be 'sounded out' because they do not follow the standard rules of spelling. The child has to memorize sight words as a whole, by sight, so that they recognize them immediately without having to decode the spelling. The problem is that minimal instruction is given by teachers and parents. Often, little more is done than showing the word to the child and telling them what it is. However, for many children, this is not nearly enough. As a result, their reading and comprehension of these crucial words is lacking, which significantly brings down their overall reading ability. Scholdener's Sight Word Workbook is the solution. A Multi-Dimensional Approach Educational research has shown that the best technique for learning sight words is accurate writing and spelling of the word, comprehension of its use in a simple sentence, and a visual representation of the phrase to reinforce how the word is used in context. Scholdener's Sight Word Workbook is the only workbook that uses this multi-dimensional model for each and every one of its 200 words. This ensures that the child really grasps the sight word, along with its spelling, meaning and usage. In teaching terms, giving your child the opportunity to learn words in proper context is known as 'meaningful reading'. This is an extremely effective tool that has been shown to be far superior for retention than plain memorization or rote learning. Includes Dolche Word List Educator Dr Edward William Dolch developed the 'Dolch Sight Words List' by studying the most frequently occurring words in children's books. These words comprise a staggering 80% of the words you would find in a standard children's book. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier. You'll be pleased to know that this workbook incorporates the key Dolch words.

Emma Goldman in Exile


Book Description

Emma Goldman, or "Red Emma," is known today for her fiery support of anarchism and the militant labor movements of early twentieth-century America and for her radical views on women and sexuality. Born in Lithuania in 1869, she emigrated to the United States, where she defended both free speech and free love, the rights of striking workers and the rights of homosexuals. Alice Wexler brings the torments and triumphs of Emma's twenty years in exile. Deported to Russia form the United States in 1919 with her former lover and friend, Alexander Berkman, Goldman found herself in the midst of a civil war at odds with her vision of a revolutionary society. This dramatic account illuminates Goldman's struggles as an archetypal outsider -- Jew, exile, anarchist, and woman -- while shedding light on a world sharply polarized between revolution and reaction. -- From publisher's description.
