 Introduction to Mass Communication: Media Literacy and Culture with PowerWeb and DVD, Media Enhanced Edition $3.44 The book arrived at the very end of the shipment time, it was the wrong edition and the power web and DVD were both excluded. I was most dissatisfied. Furthermore attempts to contact shipper were futile and I am yet to hear back from her. This was a truly annoying and inconvenient experience.  Teaching Literacy in Kindergarten (Tools for Teaching Literacy) $26.00 Kindergarten is a time for playful and enriching learning activities that support children's literacy emergence while enhancing their social and cognitive development. The routines of a busy, engaged, productive kindergarten classroom are vividly brought to life in this information-packed book. Demonstrated are whole-class and small-group strategies for helping children acquire concepts about print and the alphabet, build phonological and phonemic awareness, learn to read sight words, develop their listening comprehension and writing abilities, and much more.  MEville to Weville Unit 1: Early Literacy and Communication Supplemental Curriculum A first ever research-based literacy program that meaningfully and systematically integrates reading, writing, speaking, augmentative communicating and listening for elementary students with cognitive disabilities in the moderate to severe range. MEville to WEville contains a comprehensive, systematic instructional approach that is required for students with disabilities to experience literacy learning success! MEville to WEville was specifically developed for students with disabilities who have difficulties learning to read and write through traditional instructional methods. Designed to build a classroom community that promotes a sense of belonging, each unit offers students a new and different perspective on themselves, their families, and their school. In 2004, Dr. Karen Erickson from the Center for Literacy and Disability Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill completed a research study, in special education classrooms, to evaluate the effectiveness of the MEville to WEville program. Initial results indicated that children initiated more communication and interaction during the program, developed stronger social relationships with their peers in special and general education, and became more socially responsive. Teachers were also able to spend more time addressing communication and literacy. Unit 1includes: 300-page spiral bound manual, 75 lessons and 60 extension activities that focus on, reading, vocabulary activities, writing activities, creating books, art projects, and relationship building, Action Dictionary - Assistive Technology Guide, 1 literature book supporting the theme and content of the lesson, activity reproducibles using BoardMaker symbols, data collection tools for collecting and sharing student progress. In Unit 1: ME, students focus on individuality and build a sense of self through a range of lessons about Who I am, How I feel and What I like. Unit 1 includes the book Today I Feel Silly written by Jamie Lee Curtis. |
