Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Teachers in need of new ideas will find this compact book a big help in early childhood phonics. Clear, concise, and most of all practical, it offers a collection of word study activities for the progressive classroom using the omnipresent tool of magnetic letters. Adding just enough theory to make her point, Michele Dufresne shows how this simple tool can support the teaching of letters and sounds throughout the day within a balanced literacy program. Each activity is geared to helping children figure out and understand words on their own. By making word analogies, they can draw on what they already know about letters, sounds, words, and spelling to access print in context. Throughout the text, educators will find distinct rationales for teaching children about letters and words and specific steps to help them assess students' needs and plan for teaching. Sample lessons, lists of ideas, dialogue snippets, and classroom photos will help busy teachers get started with implementing phonemic and phonological instruction in their own classrooms. Then they can discover how much children enjoy exploring letters and words. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. An "irresistibly readable" (David Michaelis, New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor) collection of love letters by American presidents to their wives--and lovers--revealing an intimate and deeply personal side of our leaders. Our presidents loom so large in history that we often forget they are human. Are You Prepared for the Storm of Love Making? is a collection of handwritten White House love letters and presidential correspondence that offers a surprising and intimate portrait of the men who occupied the White House. From George Washington to Barack Obama, these are not the presidents we see in history books. "In this varied (and variously entertaining) assortment of excerpted letters.a careful reader will see in the decorous prose of.George Washington and Thomas Jefferson that the hearts of real men beat beneath their stiff frock coats, too" (The Wall Street Journal). Some of the letters are incredibly romantic--and surprisingly so. It took Richard Nixon years to convince Pat Ryan to marry him: "Someday let me see you again? In September? Maybe?" Others will make you blush. Staid-looking Woodrow Wilson, about to return home from a trip, warned his wife of ten years: "Do you think you can stand the unnumerable kisses and the passionate embraces you will receive? Are you prepared for the storm of lovemaking with which you will be assailed?" In letters to one of his mistresses, Warren G. Harding referred to his penis as "Jerry"--letters which would later be used to blackmail him. All the letters show the writer at his most vulnerable. We see letters of sorrow written about the death of a child or during a time of separation while the president was away on the battlefield. This "lovely book, stuffed with romantic details.[is] a helpful reminder that historical figures are also human beings: petty, sappy, and flawed" (The New York Times Book Review), revealing a never-before-seen side of the American Presidents we still honor today.…
