  • 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.

  • Wonder Read English
    Wonder Read Reading Begins at Home t is never too soon to introduce your child to books. As parents, you are a major influence in I helping your child learn to love books and to develop the habit of reading. The UES Gonda Family library staff invites you to visit the library to check out books to share with your child and to ask us how we can help you find books that both you and your child will enjoy. Here are some basic points to keep in mind when selecting books and sharing literature with your child. Babies and Pre-Nursery School: • Select books that stimulate your child’s sense of sight. Books should be colorful, clear and uncluttered. • Young children respond to the sound of language. Look for books with rhythm, exciting sounds and repetition, such as Mother Goose. • Wordless picture books encourage children to participate with the parent to create their own stories. • Select board or cloth books which children can enjoy on their own. Children Ages 3 to 5: • Keep books handy everywhere throughout the house and in the car. Include books with toys so that children are just as likely to pick up a book as they are to pick up a toy. • Young children enjoy hearing the same book read over and over. • Young children enjoy books with combinations of rhythm, repetition and familiar objects. Mother Goose and simple folk tales are ideal for this age. • Look for books with simple sentences, action, humor and a clear sequence of events. • Select books that invite children’s participation in the story.

  • Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers Into the Library
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts Department of Information Studies Graphic Novels: Enticing Teenagers into the Library Clare Snowball This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University of Technology March 2011 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: _____________________________ Date: _________________________________ Page i Abstract This thesis investigates the inclusion of graphic novels in library collections and whether the format encourages teenagers to use libraries and read in their free time. Graphic novels are bound paperback or hardcover works in comic-book form and cover the full range of fiction genres, manga (Japanese comics), and also nonfiction. Teenagers are believed to read less in their free time than their younger counterparts. The importance of recreational reading necessitates methods to encourage teenagers to enjoy reading and undertake the pastime. Graphic novels have been discussed as a popular format among teenagers. As with reading, library use among teenagers declines as they age from childhood. The combination of graphic novel collections in school and public libraries may be a solution to both these dilemmas. Teenagers’ views were explored through focus groups to determine their attitudes toward reading, libraries and their use of libraries; their opinions on reading for school, including reading for English classes and gathering information for school assignments; and their liking for different reading materials, including graphic novels.

  • 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.
