Childhood Education

A Treatise about Education from a Christian perspective

Phonics instruction shouldn't end when students can decode short words. From an early age, they also need to be able to decode "big words"—words with multiple syllables (sound units) and morphemes (meaning units)—to read proficiently. The key is to teach them systematically and explicitly, in developmentally appropriate ways. That's where this audiobook comes in. Dr. Heidi Anne Mesmer shares essential background on how language "works," provides a K-5 scope and sequence to guide practice, and offers abundant research-backed strategies that teachers can put into action immediately.

The Heart of Learning provides heart-centered guidance and essential information for teaching young children and for creating a nurturing and effective learning environment. This educational classic has informed homeschooling families for four decades and continues to provide the foundation of Oak Meadow's K-3 curriculum.

School safety has become a critical topic of concern in educational contexts. In this book, editors Christopher C. Morphew, Vanya C. Jones, and Ashley Cureton bring together a timely collection of essays to outline the obstacles to and most promising approaches for creating safe, healthy, and inclusive schools for all children.

Este libro se encuentra dividido en dos partes. En la primera, "Leer y comprender en las aulas", de Aline de la Macorra, se habla sobre la lectura de textos y la lectura de imágenes.

Por otro lado, se aborda la importancia del Modelo Situacional propuesto por Kintsch, la macro-estructura y micro-estructura de los textos, de las estrategias de comprensión de lectura, de la lectura en voz alta y de la escritura creativa.
