Now in its sixth edition, Striking a Balance clearly illustrates
how to create a comprehensive early literacy program that places
direct skills instruction within the context of rich and varied
reading and writing experiences. Text discussions, dynamic
activities, and valuable appendices provide a variety of effective
instructional resources, selected based on research and teacher
testimonials. The sixth edition incorporates recent updates to
national and state standards, as well as expanded sections on
working with English language learners and students with special
needs, while maintaining the book's essential features: classroom
vignettes, discussion questions, field-based activities, a student
website, and study guide. An essential resource for early literacy
instructors, this textbook's practical approach fundamentally
demonstrates how children develop authentic literacy skills through
a combination of direct strategy instruction and motivating
contexts.
Comprehensive yet succinct and readable, Literacy in Grades 4-8,
Third Edition offers a wealth of practical ideas to help preservice
and practicing teachers create a balanced and comprehensive
literacy program while exploring the core topics and issues of
literacy in grades 4 through 8. It addresses teaching to standards;
differentiating instruction for readers and writers; motivating
students; using assessment to inform instruction; integrating
technology into the classroom; working with English learners and
struggling readers; and connecting with caregivers. Selected
classroom strategies, procedures, and activities represent the most
effective practices according to research and the many outstanding
classroom teachers who were observed and interviewed for the book.
The Third Edition includes added material connecting the Common
Core State Standards to the instruction and assessment of literacy
skills; a combined word study and vocabulary chapter to help
readers integrate these important topics in their teaching; more on
technology, including comprehension of multimodal texts, enhancing
writing instruction with technology tools, and teaching activities
with an added technology component; added discussion of teacher
techniques during text discussions, strategic moves that help
students become more strategic readers. Key features: In the
Classroom vignettes; more than 50 activities,some with a technology
component; questions for journal writing and for projects and
field-based activities; troubleshooting sections offering
alternative suggestions and activities for those middle-grade
students who may find a particular literacy focus challenging.

The purpose of the Seminar was to provide an international
interdisciplinary forum for in-depth discussions on the pros and
cons of a denitration step by chemical means in the course of
solidification of MAW (medium active waste) and HAW (highly active
waste), prior to feeding the calciner or melter. In particular,
differences In the volatility of some components and aerosol
formation during the vitrification step are of interest. Chemical
rather than thermal denitration may have particular merits which
could simplify off-gas purification. A reduction in the salt burden
of waste solutions, leading to a reduction In the volume of solid
waste, may also be achieved. The scientific programme of the
Seminar consisted of invited lectures only, given by experts
actively engaged in this field of research. The emphasis was on
extensive discussions among the partiCipants, with the aim of
leading to an objective understanding of the state-of-the-art. The
meeting also indentified issues and options for future research.

The worlds great navies grappling for dominance of the high seas
The Battle of Heligoland Bight was the first naval battle of the
Great War, fought in the late summer of 1914 when the Royal Navy
devised a plan to ambush German patrols operating in the northern
North Sea. A sizeable force of British warships under the commands
of Tyrwhitt, Keyes, Goodenough and Beatty were set to the task and
the ensuing conflict resulted in the sinking of three German light
cruisers and one destroyer. Three German light cruisers were also
damaged. The British loss was light and the action is widely
regarded as a victory for the British. The most significant outcome
was a reluctance on the part of the Kaiser to further risk his
battle fleet and it remained impotently confined to port. The
actions in the South Pacific and South Atlantic that were the
battles of Coronel and the Falkland Islands centred around the
marauding naval squadron under the command of von Spee. The German
squadron inflicted a humiliating and crushing defeat against a
weaker force under Cradock off the coast of Chile and an outraged
admiralty despatched a substantially stronger squadron under
Doveton Sturdee to exact revenge. It caught up with von Spee's
squadron as he was about to raid the base at Port Stanley in the
Falkland Islands and practically annihilated it. These two small
naval engagement histories have been brought together for good
value by Leonaur. They are available in softcover and hardback with
dustjacket.
