  • Working Memory and Learning : A ...

    $67.00

    A good working memory is crucial to becoming a successful learner, yet there is very little material available in an easy-to-use format that explains the concept and offers practitioners ways to support children with poor working memory in the classroom.

    This book provides a coherent overview of the role played by working memory in learning during the school years, and uses theory to inform good practice.

    Topics covered include:
    – the link between working memory skills and key areas of learning (such as literacy & numeracy)
    – the relationship between working memory and children with developmental disorders
    – assessment of children for working memory deficits
    – strategies for supporting working memory in under-performing children

    This accessible guide will help SENCOs, teachers, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists and educational psychologists to understand and address working memory in their setting.

  • Reading Assessment Linking Langu...

    $78.95

    A groundbreaking integrated approach to reading assessment that addresses each child’s unique Learning Profile

    Fifteen to twenty percent of our nation’s children have reading difficulties. Educational evalua-tors must be able to use progress monitoring and diagnostic tools effectively to identify students who may be at risk, evaluate the effectiveness of school-wide reading programs, and suggest interventions that will improve reading skills. Written from a strengths-based perspective, Reading Assessment: Linking Language, Literacy, and Cognition is the first book of its kind to present a research-based, integrated review of reading, cognition, and oral language testing and assessment.

    Author Melissa Lee Farrall explores the theoretical underpinnings of reading, language, and literacy, explains the background of debates surrounding these topics, and provides detailed information and administration tips on the wide range of reading inventories and standardized tests that may be used in a reading psychoeducational assessment. With a focus on how to craft professional evaluation reports that illuminate a student’s strengths—not just weaknesses—Reading Assessment enables school psychologists and diagnosticians, reading specialists, and special education professionals to conduct evaluations and develop effective interdisciplinary remedial recommendations and interventions.

    Clear, engaging, and inviting, Reading Assessment features:
    Case examples and practice exercises
    Chapter-opening reviews of each theory
    Strengths, weaknesses, and potential problems of tests and their interpretations
    Chapter-ending review questions that foster skill development and critical thinking
    Comprehensive information on more than 50 different assessment tests

    Reading Assessment is an invaluable resource that helps professionals gain the knowledge and skills to confidently interpret test results and prepare detailed and effective evaluation reports designed to meet each child’s unique needs as a learner.

  • Beneath the Surface of Words Wha...

    $35.95

    English spelling has an undeserved reputation as unreliable and riddled with frustrating quirks. In the pages of this book, you’ll find stories, examples, and explanations that will reorient your perspective and reveal the integrated system that makes sense of the spelling of English words.

    This book will answer questions like these:

    – Why is there a W in answer and an L in talk?

    – What’s going on with words like move and comfortable?

    – Why isn’t hasten spelled like basin or mason?

    These spellings make sense once we are aware of all that’s conveyed by a written word—information about so much more than just its pronunciation. This book will introduce the structural (morphological) framework that is present in every English word, reveal the signals of relationships that are embedded in our most interesting spellings, and provide enlightening evidence to support a reevaluation of some traditional spelling rules.

    The compelling explanations of English spelling contained in this book allow all of us to understand and reconstruct many spellings, rather than memorizing them, while expanding vocabulary and deepening reading comprehension. This is particularly important for those with dyslexia.

    Set aside what you know about spelling for the moment, and take a journey below the surface of words. Together, we’ll uncover the surprising coherence, depth, and clarity of the English writing system.

  • Heggerty Early Pre-Kindergarten ...

    $160.00

    Overview: 35-weeks of lessons with 3 days per week of instruction, 5-7 components in each lesson

    Grade level: 3 & 4 year old preschool classrooms

    Format: Whole group instruction

    Lesson length: 6-8 minutes

    The Early Pre-K Phonological Awareness curriculum is meant for learners in 3- and 4-year-old classrooms, and the Early Learning and Development standards across all states were used to plan the lessons for instruction. While the standards and expectations differ from state to state, the Early Pre-K curriculum will teach 5 phonological awareness skills. The skills of rhyme, initial phoneme isolation, and blending are introduced at the beginning of instruction. Segmenting words and Final Phoneme Isolation are introduced in later weeks of instruction.

    5 Phonological Awareness Skills
    Rhyme repetition, recognition, and production
    Initial Phoneme Isolation, including listening for a focus sound, alliteration and generating words that begin in a specific sound
    Blending words, syllables, body-coda, and onset-rime (Note: we do not blend at the phoneme level like we do in the current PreK curriculum)
    Segmenting into words, syllables, and onset-rime (begins in week 7; we do not segment into phonemes like we do in the current PreK curriculum)
    Final Phoneme Isolation (introduced in Weeks 24-35)
    2 Early Literacy Skills
    Alphabet Knowledge
    Language Awareness: Nursery Rhymes and sentences

    The lessons include explicit language to teach the skills and provide directions for each activity. Teacher modeling and support is included within the lessons, along with hand motions.

    The beginning weeks of instruction provide teachers with lessons for “Setting the Stage” to help students learn about listening for sounds and developing an understanding of the language play activities .

  • The Writing Revolution, By Judit...

    $57.95

    “HELP! My Students Can’t Write!”

    Why You Need a Writing Revolution in Your Classroom and How to Lead It.

    The Writing Revolution (TWR) provides a clear method of instruction that you can use no matter what subject or grade level you teach. The model, also known as The Hochman Method, has demonstrated, over and over, that it can turn weak writers into strong communicators by focusing on specific techniques that match their needs and by providing them with targeted feedback.

    Insurmountable as the challenges faced by many students may seem, TWR can make a dramatic difference. And the method does more than improve writing skills. It also helps:

    • Boost reading comprehension
    • Improve organizational and study skills
    • Enhance speaking abilities
    • Develop analytical capabilities

    TWR is as much a method of teaching content as it is a method of teaching writing. There’s no separate writing block and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt the TWR strategies and activities to their current curriculum and weave them into their content instruction.

    But perhaps what’s most revolutionary about the TWR method is that it takes the mystery out of learning to write well. It breaks the writing process down into manageable chunks and then has students practice the chunks they need, repeatedly, while also learning content.
