Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children
While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, ...

Professional Development
Compiled from John Newton's own notes and memoirs, this reproduction was meticulously recreated from an 1831 original text, detailing Newton's conversion from slave trader to fierce abolitionist. Though his mother believed her son would be a minister one day, Newton chose a life of disobedience and immorality. As he fled the face of God, he became hardened in heart and reduced to a beggar. This angry man eventually rose to the rank of slave ship captain, one of the harshest livelihoods in history. On a storm tossed sea, a near death experience drove him back to his boyhood faith. In less than 20 years, he became a respected man of trade and ultimately a priest who penned the words of the unforgettable hymn, "Amazing Grace," pouring out his heart's cry to create a song that still resonates today. In his story of redemption, we find hope for those we love and for ourselves.

At A Loss For Words
Drawing on the latest research on development among toddlers and preschoolers, At a Loss for Words lays out the importance of getting parents, policy makers, and child care providers to recognize the role of early literacy skills in reducing the achievement gap that begins before three years of age. Readers are guided through home and classroom settings that promote language, contrasting them with the "merely mediocre" child care settings in which more and more young children spend increasing amounts of time. Too many of our young children are not receiving the level of input and practice that will enable them to acquire language skills—the key to success in school and life. Bardige explains how to build better community support systems for children, and better public education, in order to ensure that toddlers learn the power of language from their families and teachers.

Before the Nation
Exploring the emergence and evolution of theories of nationhood that continue to be evoked in present-day Japan, Susan L. Burns provides a close examination of the late-eighteenth-century intellectual movement kokugaku, which means "the study of our country.” Departing from earlier studies of kokugaku that focused on intellectuals whose work has been valorized by modern scholars, Burns seeks to recover the multiple ways "Japan" as social and cultural identity began to be imagined before modernity. Central to Burns's analysis is Motoori Norinaga’s Kojikiden, arguably the most important intellectual work of Japan's early modern period. Burns situates the Kojikiden as one in a series of att...
