Saints
From Polycarp to St. Francis, Benedict to Aidan, Brigid to Clare--and many others in between--Saints shares the stories of heroism, adventure, servanthood, and humility that define the lives of some of history's most-cherished saints. Through rich reverence and engaging narrative, Scot Bower uncovers the personalities of the Western and Eastern saints from the time of the Early Church Fathers to the mid-thirteenth century. Complete with prayers, feature boxes, and striking illustrations by Linda Baker Smith, this unique collection of saints brings devoted men and women of the past to new life, offering insight into how their dedication to faith, contemplation, stability, compassion, and reconciliation have place in today's ever-busy world. It is a book that will inspire and delight, to be pored over and returned to again and again.

The Irda
The second installment in the Lost Histories series sheds light on the legendary origins of the mysterious race of the Irda Given life by gods, the Ogres were the most intelligent and beautiful of the early races on Krynn, and they reigned supreme in their perfect kingdom. But the fabled race was weakened by clan rivalries and evil ambition, their downfall orchestrated by the hand of the Dark Queen, Takhisis. The once resplendent Ogres were cursed by their own mistakes and transformed into one of Krynn's most ugly, despised, and villainous species. All succumbed to this miserable fate, but the Irda—a small group who learned to accept goodness and to fight for their freedom. Escaping from their previous home, the Irda set out to build a utopian civilization of their own on a paradise island in the Dragon Isles.
Handbook of Reading Research
The influential first volume of the Handbook of Reading Research, published in 1984, was out of print for a number of years. This classic work, newly reprinted and available once again, includes comprehensive, authoritative, and effectively written chapters from a variety of research perspectives. With the breadth to appeal to a wide audience, yet the depth to speak authoritatively to various subgroups within that audience, this volume is an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals across the field of reading and literacy education.

Engaging Young Readers
This volume demonstrates how promoting children's engagement with reading can greatly enhance reading achievement. From leading literacy researchers and educators, the book illuminates what a child needs to become an engaged reader and presents a set of instructional principles designed to facilitate this goal. Helping teachers offer a coordinated emphasis on competence and motivation in reading instruction, chapters blend research evidence with practical recommendations. Topics covered include ways to provide children with a good foundation at the word level, help if they are in trouble, ample time and materials for reading, opportunities to share in a community of learners, instruction that is coherent, motivating, and responsive to each child's strengths and weaknesses, school-wide coordination of instruction, and continuities between home and school.
Word Recognition in Beginning Literacy
This edited volume grew out of a conference that brought together beginning reading experts from the fields of education and the psychology of reading and reading disabilities so that they could present and discuss their research findings and theories about how children learn to read words, instructional contexts that facilitate this learning, background experiences prior to formal schooling that contribute, and sources of difficulty in disabled readers. The chapters bring a variety of perspectives to bear on a single cluster of problems involving the acquisition of word reading ability. It is the editors' keen hope that the insights and findings of the research reported here will influence and become incorporated into the development of practicable, classroom-based instructional programs that succeed in improving children's ability to become skilled readers. Furthermore, they hope that these insights and findings will become incorporated into the working knowledge that teachers apply when they teach their students to read, and into further research on reading acquisition.
