  • 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 Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
    Teacher Guide The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander Questions for Socratic Discussion by Melanie Huff © 2012, The Center for Literary Education 3350 Beck Road Rice, WA 99167 (509) 738-2837 www.centerforlit.com Contents Introduction 2 Questions about Structure: Setting 4 Questions about Structure: Characters 6 Questions about Structure: Conflict and Plot 11 Questions about Structure: Theme 14 Questions about Style 16 Questions about Context 18 Suggested Essay Assignments 19 Story Charts 20 Introduction This teacher guide is intended to assist the teacher or parent in conducting meaningful discussions of literature in the classroom or home school. Questions and answers follow the pattern presented in Teaching the Classics, the Center for Literary Education’s two day literature seminar. Though the concepts underlying this approach to literary analysis are explained in detail in that seminar, the following brief summary presents the basic principles upon which this guide is based. The Teaching the Classics approach to literary analysis and interpretation is built around three unique ideas which, when combined, produce a powerful instrument for understanding and teaching literature: First: All works of fiction share the same basic elements — Context, Structure, and Style. A literature lesson that helps the student identify these elements in a story prepares him for meaningful discussion of the story’s themes. Context encompasses all of the details of time and place surrounding the writing of a story, including the personal life of the author as well as historical events that shaped the author’s world. Structure includes the essential building blocks that make up a story, and that all stories have in common: Conflict, Plot (which includes exposition, rising action, climax, denouement, and conclusion), Setting, Characters and Theme.

  • Lloyd Alexander 30
    Der phantastische Autorenbrief Lloyd Alexander 30. 01. 1924 - 17. 05. 2007 Mai 2007 unabhängig kostenlos Ausgabe 441 Lloyd Chudley Alexander starb am 17.05.2007 im Alter von 83 Jahren. Er wurde am 30. Januar 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika geboren, wuchs dort auf und lebte dort bis zu seinem Tod. Bereits mit drei Jahren lernte er lesen und interessierte sich seither für Bücher. Später erweiterte er sein Interesse auf klassische Musik und Zeichnen. Besonders angetan hatten es ihm die keltische und griechische Mythologie, die auch in seinen eigenen Werken ihren Niederschlag fanden. Wie bei vielen seiner Altersklasse war ein Buch über den sagenhaften König Arthus und die dazu gehörigen Heldensagen für ihn Meinungs bildend. Neben diesen Sagen beschäftigte er sich mit den Mabinogin, jener Sammlung klassischer walisischer Sagen, die später so viel Einfluss auf ihn ausübten. Nach seinem Highschool-Abschluss und einer kurzen Episode als Laufbursche bei einer Bank besuchte er das örtliche College. Bereits nach dem ersten Trimester verließ er das College und trat in die US-Army ein. Er wurde zuerst nach Wales zum militärischen Geheimdienst (Army Combat Intelligenz) versetzt, wo er wieder auf keltische und walisische Mythen traf. Lloyd Alexander, der neben spanisch und französisch sich im Selbststudium walisisch beibrachte, konnte so die Schauplätze seiner Heldensagen selbst besuchen. Die Kenntnisse seines Dialektes öffnete ihm in Wales viele Tore, so dass er seine Studien über diese Sagenwelt weiter vorantreiben konnte. Viele dieser Eindrücke verarbeitete er in seinen Büchern. Anfang 1945 wurde er nach Paris versetzt, wo er in der Gegenspionage arbeitete. Nach dem Krieg besuchte er die Universität von Paris.

Was it a forced choice and a sacrifice of the capable and strong- willed girl’s agency and power, or does it proceed logically from her depiction throughout the series?
