  • SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels
    SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENT SPANISH 4 & AP STUDENTS Recommended Books with Reading Levels How can I pass the AP Spanish exam? The AP exam is a very difficult exam. Some college Spanish students would not pass the test. If you are considering taking the AP test before graduating, the single most important factor that helps students pass the exam is reading. In levels 4 and AP there is a summer reading program. In order to have a high degree of success, you will need to read in Spanish this summer. The students who have read during the summer have returned in the fall without having lost any of their Spanish. Most students who have scored a 4 or 5 on the AP have stated that they read 2-3 novels in Spanish during the summer. The Summer Spanish Reading Program for students that are registered for Spanish IV & AP Spanish classes aims to strengthen reading skills and comprehension. Additional benefits will include: Higher scores on important standardized tests (like ACT, SAT and AP) A broader knowledge of literature in general Bonus points added to Spanish grades of participants for extra reading Required Reading for Spanish 4 & AP Spanish: All Spanish 4 & AP students MUST read at least two novels in Spanish during the summer. *********************************************************************** Remember, pick something that you: 1) Will enjoy reading, and... 2) Can read without looking up too many words. Which is just another way of saying “Interesting & comprehensible” that you have so often heard. Write a short reaction in Spanish (1-2 pages) to what you have read and be prepared to talk about it when you return.

    For Immediate Release Contacts: Margery Flax, MWA, 212-888-8171, [email protected] Meryl Zegarek Public Relations, 917-493-3601, [email protected] Mystery Writers of America Announces 2014 Grand Masters Robert Crais and Carolyn Hart Plus 2014 Raven Award Winner Wednesday, December 4, 2013, New York, NY – Robert Crais and Carolyn Hart have been chosen as the 2014 Grand Masters by Mystery Writers of America (MWA).

Mr. Crais and Ms. Hart will be presented with their awards at the Edgar Awards Banquet, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Thursday, May 1, 2014. When told of being named a Grand Master, Crais said, "I am happy, proud, and more than a little humbled to be chosen for this high honor by Mystery Writers of America. The list of Grand Masters is a list of my literary heroes. I may never accept that my name is now on this list, but I will be forever grateful for the kindness and generosity of MWA for placing me among these esteemed writers."

  • Fred E. Woods, Steven C. Harper, Andrew H. Hedges, Patty A. Smith, and Thomas R
    Fred E. Woods, Steven C. Harper, Andrew H. Hedges, Patty A. Smith, and Thomas R. Valletta, Preface to Prelude to the Restoration: From Apostasy to the Restored Church (Provo, UT and Salt Lake City: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University and Deseret Book, 2004). Preface In years past the Sperry Symposium has provided speakers and hearers, authors and readers a valued opportunity to engage one of the standard works of Latter’day Saint scripture. That esteemed tradition has been expanded recently to include reflections on the Church in the twentieth century. This volume looks forward to the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Joseph Smith in 2005 by looking back to some of the events, processes, people, and ideas that set the stage for the marvelous Restoration begun by the Prophet. Latter-day Saints acknowledge the hand of the Almighty in shaping history. Unsurprisingly, then, as the distinguished historian Gordon S. Wood wrote, the Restoration “appeared at precisely the right moment in American history” (“Evangelical America and Early Mormonism,” New York History, October 1980, 381). One might add that, in anticipation of the Restoration, America appeared at precisely the right moment in world history. Indeed, because of the Restoration we know that the earth itself appeared in its proper time and season. This volume provides glimpses into the complicated choreography of history by which the world became ready for Joseph Smith and the restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. The complex processes at work between the Apostasy and the Restoration do not lend themselves to reduction or simplification, and this volume cannot impose unwarranted order on the chaos.

  • 2017 Annual Report INTRODUCTION
    COVER Annual Report 2014 // 2015 2017 Annual Report INTRODUCTION In June 2013, a group of twelve librarians and library advocates announced the launch of a monthly list, inspired by the American Booksellers Association’s Indie Next list, dedicated to the ten favorite titles of library staff due to be published the following month. This list is the LibraryReads list, a celebration of the titles library staff love. LibraryReads is unique in that the list is not trying to pick “the best” of anything, and there are no judges or juries. The monthly list is the collective favorites of the library staff who have voted — the books we loved reading and cannot wait to share! Participation is open to everyone who works in a public library, both senior staff and new arrivals, no matter which area of the library they work in. The more the merrier — LibraryReads is designed to be inclusive, and to represent a broad range of reading tastes. One of the goals of LibraryReads is to showcase the important role public libraries play in building buzz for new books and new authors. This is already well-established in the field of children’s books – but perhaps not as widely acknowledged for adult books. OUR MISSION LibraryReads puts in list form what library staff do with patrons every day at the desk, in the community, and online: connecting readers with books, suggesting titles that will generate lively conversation among readers, and encouraging staff and readers to share further within their own reading network. LibraryReads is dedicated to celebrating reading and encouraging a sense of delight and discovery for readers of adult books.
