Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents

Autor: Lynn Lyons , Reid Wilson

Número de Páginas: 315

With anxiety at epidemic levels among our children, Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents offers a contrarian yet effective approach to help children and teens push through their fears, worries, and phobias to ultimately become more resilient, independent, and happy. How do you manage a child who gets stomachaches every school morning, who refuses after-school activities, or who is trapped in the bathroom with compulsive washing? Children like these put a palpable strain on frustrated, helpless parents and teachers. And there is no escaping the problem: One in every five kids suffers from a diagnosable anxiety disorder. Unfortunately, when parents or professionals offer help in traditional ways, they unknowingly reinforce a child's worry and avoidance. From their success with hundreds of organizations, schools, and families, Reid Wilson, PhD, and Lynn Lyons, LICSW, share their unconventional approach of stepping into uncertainty in a way that is currently unfamiliar but infinitely successful. Using current research and contemporary examples, the book exposes the most common anxiety-enhancing patterns—including reassurance, accommodation, avoidance, and poor problem solving—and offers...

Morris Informal Reading Inventory

Autor: Darrell Morris

Número de Páginas: 223

In one concise volume, Darrell Morris provides a complete tool for assessing students' reading ability. Unlike most informal reading inventories (IRIs), Morris's approach incorporates measures of automaticity (word recognition and fluency) together with oral reading accuracy and comprehension. This results in more efficient, accurate, and thorough assessments. Included are an examiner's manual and all test materials for the basic IRI (grades 2-8) plus a separate beginning reading inventory (grades K-1). In a large-size spiral-bound format for ease of use, the book features more than 90 pages of word/letter lists, illustrated reading passages, and other test materials, all with permission to photocopy. See also Morris's Diagnosis and Correction of Reading Problems, Second Edition, which guides teachers through a comprehensive diagnostic battery for planning instruction and intervention.

La formación de mediadores para la promoción de la lectura

Autor: Pedro C. Cerrillo Torremocha , Santiago Yubero

Número de Páginas: 308

En la promoción de la lectura, como en la animación a la lectura, sobre todo cuando los destinatarios de las mismas son niños o adolescentes, es muy importante la figura del mediador, papel que, en esas edades, suelen cumplir adultos con perfiles específicos (padres, maestros o bibliotecarios, aunque, en buena lógica, deberíamos considerar también como tales a los editores y a los libreros). El mediador es el puente o enlace entre los libros y esos primeros lectores que propicia y facilita el diálogo entre ambos. El Máster de Promoción de la Lectura y Literatura Infantil de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha que se puede cursar desde la red y a distancia, tiene como objetivo básico la formación de especialistas que puedan trabajar en los campos del desarrollo de hábitos lectores y en programas de animación a la lectura, es decir, la formación de mediadores. Los contenidos teóricos de referencia de dicho Máster que aquí se ofrecen los hemos agrupado en cinco partes, que se corresponden con los cinco módulos teóricos que los alumnos cursan durante el primero de los dos años de estudios: Literatura infantil y juvenil, Lenguaje literario y creatividad,...

The Philosophical Child

Autor: Jana Mohr Lone

Número de Páginas: 161

What does it mean to be good? Why do people die? What is friendship? Children enter the world full of questions and wrestle with deep, thoughtful issues, even if they do not always wonder them aloud. Many parents have the desire to discuss philosophical ideas with their children, but are unsure how to do so. The Philosophical Child offers parents guidance on how to gently approach philosophical questions with children of all ages. Jana Mohr Lone argues that for children to mature emotionally, they must develop their desire and ability to think abstractly about themselves and their experiences. This book suggests easy ways that parents can engage with their children's philosophical questions and help them develop their "philosophical selves."

The former editor of “The Horn Book Magazine,” wore one of her signature hats and sat casually on the edge of the stage and chatted with us. Her 2004 book 100 Best Books for Children has been one of my most trusted references, as I chose these 75 books for your independent reader. She tells us in her bio for these books, that she estimates she has read 125,000 children’s books in her lifetime. I chose eleven of her classic recommendations to review for you in this book. Here are six of these not-to-be missed titles: Betsy-Tacy; The Incredible Journey; The Cricket in Times Square; Sarah, Plain and Tall; Stone Fox and Tom’s Midnight Garden.
