Systematic Instruction in Reading for Spanish-Speaking Students

This book addresses the area of reading and literacy instruction for Spanish-speaking students. It is comprehensive in that it includes information on language, academic language instruction, reading, decoding, listening, speaking, transfer of components from Spanish to English, and comprehension development. Also, it has sample lessons in kindergarten, first, second, and third grades which give the teacher some examples on how to utilize a balanced systematic and comprehensive approach to teaching reading. There is also other information included in the Appendix of this book that has been completed by the author—some examples of which also appear in the Leamos espanol reading series. Finally, throughout the various chapters on reading and literacy instruction and sample instructional plans, the author has included several examples that will be helpful in developing various reading skills with Spanish-speaking students.

The Coolest Guys

Wake Up! is an inspirational work offering two books in one. It begins with a desire to eliminate a 40-year addiction to nicotine and a lifetime addiction to controlling. Eliminating these habits caused an avalanche of positive energy to take their place. The story takes the reader on a one of a kind spiritual journey to find inner love and peace.Part two offers thirty stories, which are the result of personal interviews. They cover a wide variety of life challenges. A gift of finding the heart of a person and writing it down, together with the willingness of the subjects to share personal details of their lives created outstanding stories.Often a mirror image is an effective and painless way to notice something in our own life that needs changing. Readers will most likely come away with a different perspective than they had before reading the book.

Kirrama: Life on an Australian Cattle Station

Sold on Reality? KIRRAMA/Life on an Australian Cattle Station. This is a true story of an ordinary Texas ranching family moving to Queensland, Australia, to ranch on a much larger scale. The Gunn family took a huge step into the unknown. There would be many sacrifices. The children would be home schooled. Everyone would have to learn to survive without modern conveniences. Outpost radio would be the only means of communication and verbal medical diagnosis. The pages of this book reflect the true life challenges faced by an ordinary "spoiled" American family.

Bilyana: Return to Kirrama

BILYANA is located on the coastal area between Kennedy and Euramo, Queensland, Australia. After selling their part of Kirrama Station, Tate Gunn, Barbara and their family purchased land referred to as the Bluff Landing with a two- mile crocodile infested part of the Murray River running through the property. This resulted in a quite different Australian life style, still without modern conveniences and in some ways even more primitive. There would still be many challenges in this great country of adventure.

Bilyana: Return To Kirrama

<div>Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) have been two of the most critical pillars of peace, stability, and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region for the past thirty years. At the same time, their relationship has fluctuated markedly and unpredictably. Despite the existence of a common ally in the United States and common security threats from the former Soviet Union, China, and North Korea, bilateral relations between Japan and South Korea have been persistently marred by friction. In the first in-depth study of this puzzling relationship in over fifteen years, the author compares the commonly accepted explanation for this relationship&#8212;historical enmity&#8212;with one that focuses on policies of the United States as the key driver of Japan-ROK relations. He finds that while history and emotion certainly affect the ways in which Japanese and Koreans regard each other, cooperation and dissension in the relationship are better understood through what he calls a &#8220;quasi-alliance&#8221; model: two states that remain unallied but have a third party as a common ally. This model finds that the &#8220;normal&#8221; state of Japan-ROK relations is characterized by friction that stems not only from history, but also from fundamental asymmetries in Japanese and Korean expectations of support from each other. The author shows, however, that in periods when the American defense commitment to the region is weak, Japan-ROK relations exhibit significantly less contention over bilateral issues. Without the prop of U.S. assistance, the two countries are seemingly willing to overlook the usual causes of friction and to adopt a more pragmatic approach. The author discusses the effects of democratization and the post-Cold War era on the triangular relationship, and addresses the prospects of a united Korea and its future relations with Japan, the United States, and China. The book covers the period from 1965 to 1998 and draws on recently declassified U.S. documents, internal Korean government documents, and interviews with former policy makers in the United States, Japan, and Korea. </div>
