The Last Woman Born on the Island is an exploration of the past and
the present, and a celebration of the landscapes, both physical and
emotional, that make up our lives. What are the colours of the
language or languages we speak, and how do they infl uence the ways
we live? Much of this collection is set in the author's homeland of
Scotland. Some poems contemplate the history and traditions of the
Highlands and Islands - from the HMS Iolaire disaster off Lewis in
1919 to the knitting of Eriskay ganseys, from the legend of the
White Cow at Callanish stone circle to herring girls at the start
of the twentieth century. Others consider Scottish languages and
parlances, the country's wildest and most beautiful landscapes, and
the effects of tourism on the culture of the Hebrides. Is there is
a diff erence between something lost and something merely
forgotten? How do we fi nd what we don't know we ever had? And what
is belonging to a place, let alone to two places? In one long poem,
the author stands between her home country and her adopted country
of France, letting her feet talk us through the places they have
been. Who is the last woman and where is the island?
This text provides teachers, speech-language pathologists, and
others working with young children with methods for providing
systematic and engaging literacy instruction. The approaches it
treats are evidence based, being examined and refined by classroom
implementation. They cover the array of important early literacy
and language skills, both print based and meaning based
(phonological awareness, print awareness and letter knowledge,
story comprehension and vocabulary, and oral and written language).
In a casual style and tone, easily accessible to a wide variety of
readers, each chapter presents underlying research, applied
principles, and illustrations of a variety of contexts and
activities for instructional purposes. Ideas for school-home
connections are included as well.While there are a number of texts
that focus on emergent and early literacy curriculum (defining
curricular components and developmental progression), assessment,
and instructional delivery models, this book contains innovative
content not found elsewhere, including: Strategies and procedures
for coordinating class-wide literacy instruction and activities
with supplemental literacy services provided by support personnel
Specific ways to use paraeducators and parent or community
volunteers to increase instructional opportunities Procedures for
conducting effective professional development Integrated arts
curriculum and procedures Mechanisms for embedding literacy
learning in all classroom contexts with varied participant
structures in order to provide intense and frequent opportunities
for children to practice literacy skills Primarily targeted at
early childhood educators and speech-language pathologists at
preservice and practicing professional levels, the content will
also be relevant to any education professionals involved with
literacy instruction in early childhood settings, including reading
specialists, special educators, and teachers of English as a second
language. The book is also appropriate for undergraduate or
graduate level classes dealing with early language and literacy
instruction or with intervention in early childhood education,
speech-language pathology, or special education programs.

Mmm What a deliciously erotic blend: medium-ship, the mythical, and
mystery Exquisitely written with some of the most compelling damned
characters I've followed in a long time. This is a talented writer
who will have us panting for the next novel before we finish this
one. -Bram Stoker Award Winner Steve Burt, author of the FreeKs
paranormal teens series Australian author Barry Rosenberg's novel,
Call of the Swami, is 88,000 words. His wife, Judith, provided the
cover art of the Swami seducing a young Irena in India. Call of the
Swami Folding a blanket, Irena sat in lotus position. Imagining a
shell of blue light around her, she began an internal probe. It was
like using her tongue to find a loose tooth. There She found it, a
tug, a leak. Someone was draining her They were taking her energy
to build up their own. But who or what? Never mind who or what, she
applied a psychic bandage. At least, for now, she'd be able to
handle the everyday. The Swami paused. Never mind, never mind. She
will come. She will still come.
A little tornado is discovered in a laundry room. 'Sharona' Sharon
Black's award-winning story sold with color artwork, brings smiles
to small faces and chuckles to adults. The title implies a book for
children, but it is a family story; clean-cut, no profanity, no
violence. A story with a moral: even if one is small, they can
succeed.
