“Sight-Reading Made Easy” is a vintage guide to sight reading for the piano. “Sight reading” refers to reading and performing of a piece of music notation that the performer has not seen before. With concise instructions and many helpful tips, this volume contains simple piano sheet music that is ideal for budding pianists wishing to learn this invaluable skill. Contents include: “Quick Test in Reading Intervals (Playing by 'Feel')”, “Sixths”, “Sevenths and Octaves”, “Hold On!”, “Left Hand Plays a Tune”, “Step Lively!”, “Look at the Time”, “'Out' and 'in' (Extension and Contraction)”, “Imitation and Syncopation”, “Over and Under”, “A Short Rest”, “What Have We Here?”, “Change Places!”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of the piano.
This book is aimed at teachers of reading, with a program that aims to produce eager, omnivorous readers. The major characteristics of this program are as follows: the prime use of the child's own language in learning to read; the ability of the child to choose the reading material; frequent, private conferences between the child and the teacher; the inclusion of the child in groups, determined by specific needs or tasks to master. This test presents a new philosophy of reading, combining ideas old and new, to inspire a life-long interest in reading.
Packed with easy-to-use tools and resources, this book presents intensive intervention strategies for K–5 students with severe and persistent reading difficulties. Filling a key need, the authors describe specific ways to further intensify instruction when students continue to struggle. Chapters address all the fundamental components of reading--phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, reading fluency, oral language, language and reading comprehension, and writing to read. The authors discuss the design and implementation of intensive instruction and provide effective teaching techniques and activities. Grounded in the principles of data-based individualization, the book includes concrete recommendations for determining students' particular needs and monitoring their progress.
