Reach all readers : using the science of reading to transform your literacy instruction / by Geiger, Anna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."According to a report published by EdWeek, 'just 35% of 4th graders are proficient readers'. There is a lack of literacy skills in the early childhood population by the time these students get to 4th grade. But where does this learning gap come from? The report also shows that educators are likely to use solely what they learn about literacy in professional development or school training when they teach literacy skills to their students, rather than doing research on their own to expand their knowledge of how to teach literacy. Many educators, especially early childhood educators, find the science of literacy hard to grasp. It is often difficult to see why certain approaches to teaching literacy are effective and why others aren't. Educators have plenty on their plates and often times do not have the bandwidth to study complicated literacy research articles to support what they learn in professional development & school trainings. They need a quick, concise way to learn about the science of literacy in a digestible way, and they need practical tools to help their students learn literacy skills in an engaging way"--

The girl behind the door : a father's quest to understand his daughter's suicide / by Brooks, John,1956-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Early one Tuesday morning John Brooks went to his teenage daughter's room to make sure she was getting up for school and found her room dark and "neater than usual." Casey was gone but he found a note: The car is parked at the Golden Gate Bridge. I'm sorry. Several hours later a security video was found that showed Casey stepping off the bridge. Brooks spent months after Casey's suicide trying to understand what led his seventeen-year-old daughter to take her life. He examines Casey's journey from her abandonment at birth in Poland, to the orphanage where she lived for the first fourteen months of her life, to her adoption and life with John and his wife Erika in Northern California. He reads. He talks to Casey's friends, teachers, doctors, therapists, and other parents. He consults adoption experts, researchers, clinicians, attachment therapists, and social workers. In The Girl Behind the Door, Brooks shares what he learned and asks "What did everyone miss? What could have been done differently?" He'd come to realize that Casey might have been helped if someone had recognized that she'd likely suffered an attachment disorder from her infancy--an affliction common among children who've been orphaned, neglected, and abused. This emotional deprivation in early childhood, from the lack of a secure attachment to a primary caregiver, can lead to a wide range of serious behavioral issues later in life. John's hope is that Casey's story, and what he discovered since her death, will help others. This important book is a wakeup call that parents, mental health professionals, and teens should read"--Provided by publisher.
