  • Good Foundations Academy Reading and Literacy Policy
    Building Knowledge and Character GOOD FOUNDATIONS ACADEMY READING AND LITERACY POLICY PURPOSE AND PHILOSOPHY The development of literacy is one of the primary aims and focuses of effort at GFA. This includes a great deal of reading from a variety of both fiction and non-fiction primary literature. Particularly in the early grades, GFA emphasizes reading and more reading. Most American schools dedicate two or more hours each day to “literacy.” A majority of time is spent teaching children the fundamentals of reading strategies, such as making inferences, predicting, classifying, and looking for the main idea. The purpose of these exercises is to bolster test scores, independent of real knowledge. In contrast, GFA strives to develop the appreciation of language, increase specific knowledge, and provide meaning to students through the achievement of Primary Literacy, Mature Literacy, and Moral Literacy. Primary Literacy Primary Literacy begins with phonic recognition. Our goal in the early grades is for students to receive explicit, systematic phonemic awareness and phonics instruction. Children are provided deliberate, coherent, direct instruction in letter-sound correspondences. Practices which teach children to rely on word-memorization (the look-say method) and guessing (through illustration and/or context) are avoided. Once phonetic decoding skills are introduced, fluency must be developed. Fluency allows students to focus their mental energies on comprehension rather than decoding. Fluency means “flowing,” and in this context it also means “fast.” Fluency takes practice - a lot of it. Riggs & Open Court Phonics, selected stories from Open Court, and selected books from Accelerated Reader (AR) are the primary sources for the development of decoding skills and fluency at GFA.

  • THE FREDDY the PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks Illustrated by Kurt Wiese
    THE FREDDY THE PIG SERIES by Walter R. Brooks illustrated by Kurt Wiese Introduction With the 1927 publication of To and Again (later re-titled Freddy Goes to Florida), Walter R. Brooks began a series that would ultimately stretch to twenty-six volumes and become a classic of 20th century American children's literature. Especially memorable for the richness of their characterizations, the books about the pig nonpareil and his many friends are also unforgettable celebrations of the value of friendship and the practical virtues of loyalty, steadfastness, kindness, and simply doing the right thing. Always inventive in their plotting, satisfying in the authenticity of their rural and small town settings, filled with memorable phrases and homely wisdom, the Freddy books capture the same kind of American spirit as do the Homer Price books by Robert McCloskey, E.B. White's Charlotte's Web, and Robert Lawson's Ben and Me and Rabbit Hill. Like these other masters, Brooks never underestimated or wrote down to his readers. His respect for them is reflected in the richness of his language and the thoughtfulness of his themes. Most importantly, perhaps, his are among the very first enduringly significant humorous children's books of the 20th century. And they contain the best kind of humor, still fresh and relevant to today's readers; it arises naturally out of character and incongruity, is embellished with wonderfully inventive and witty word play, and is never mean or hurtful. It springs from both the mind AND the heart, a reason the Freddy books are universally beloved by readers of all ages.

  • The Ecological Impacts of Wild Boar Rooting in East Sussex
    The ecological impacts of wild boar rooting in East Sussex By Natasha K.E. Sims BSc. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (D. Phil.) School of Biological Sciences University of Sussex September 2005 I Acknowledgements I am primarily grateful to Dr. Libby John and Dr. Alan Stewart for their supervision of the project and continual support of my work. For their kind help and voluntary assistance with this project, I am indebted to (in alphabetical order) Dr. Cheryl Case, Dr. Martin Goulding, Dr. Steve Harrison, Prof. Sue Hartley, David Hopper, Prof Mike Hutchings, Dr. Rupert Sims, Dr. Noel Smith, David Streeter, and Dr. Martyn Stenning. For their generosity and kindness in allowing my use of their land, I am tremendously grateful to my friend Anja Cordell and to Steve Peters and John Stafford from Forest Enterprise of the Forestry Commission. My deepest appreciation goes to Duncan Pope and Ninerra for their unwavering patience and endurance beyond the call of duty throughout the project. Finally, I want to thank my dearest parents, Robin and Freddy Sims, for their understanding, support and strength, without which this work could not have been completed. II Abstract The aim of the thesis was to assess the ecological impacts of wild boar rooting for up to three years on above and belowground community attributes and processes in semi-natural habitats in southern England. The research tested the hypothesis that wild boar are important allogenic ecosystem engineers. Plant species richness, percentage cover and diversity were significantly greater from rooted than non-rooted treatments across woodland, grassland and woodland ride habitats.
