Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Teachers in need of new ideas will find this compact book a big help in early childhood phonics. Clear, concise, and most of all practical, it offers a collection of word study activities for the progressive classroom using the omnipresent tool of magnetic letters. Adding just enough theory to make her point, Michele Dufresne shows how this simple tool can support the teaching of letters and sounds throughout the day within a balanced literacy program. Each activity is geared to helping children figure out and understand words on their own. By making word analogies, they can draw on what they already know about letters, sounds, words, and spelling to access print in context. Throughout the text, educators will find distinct rationales for teaching children about letters and words and specific steps to help them assess students' needs and plan for teaching. Sample lessons, lists of ideas, dialogue snippets, and classroom photos will help busy teachers get started with implementing phonemic and phonological instruction in their own classrooms. Then they can discover how much children enjoy exploring letters and words. …

Hardback. Zustand: Good. An "irresistibly readable" (David Michaelis, New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor) collection of love letters by American presidents to their wives--and lovers--revealing an intimate and deeply personal side of our leaders. Our presidents loom so large in history that we often forget they are human. Are You Prepared for the Storm of Love Making? is a collection of handwritten White House love letters and presidential correspondence that offers a surprising and intimate portrait of the men who occupied the White House. From George Washington to Barack Obama, these are not the presidents we see in history books. "In this varied (and variously entertaining) assortment of excerpted letters.a careful reader will see in the decorous prose of.George Washington and Thomas Jefferson that the hearts of real men beat beneath their stiff frock coats, too" (The Wall Street Journal). Some of the letters are incredibly romantic--and surprisingly so. It took Richard Nixon years to convince Pat Ryan to marry him: "Someday let me see you again? In September? Maybe?" Others will make you blush. Staid-looking Woodrow Wilson, about to return home from a trip, warned his wife of ten years: "Do you think you can stand the unnumerable kisses and the passionate embraces you will receive? Are you prepared for the storm of lovemaking with which you will be assailed?" In letters to one of his mistresses, Warren G. Harding referred to his penis as "Jerry"--letters which would later be used to blackmail him. All the letters show the writer at his most vulnerable. We see letters of sorrow written about the death of a child or during a time of separation while the president was away on the battlefield. This "lovely book, stuffed with romantic details.[is] a helpful reminder that historical figures are also human beings: petty, sappy, and flawed" (The New York Times Book Review), revealing a never-before-seen side of the American Presidents we still honor today.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Much has been written about Leonard Bernstein, a musician of extraordinary talent who was legendary for his passionate love of life and many relationships. In this work, Mari Yoshihara reveals the deeply emotional connections Bernstein formed with two little-known Japanese individuals, which she narrates through their personal letters that have never been seen before. Dearest Lenny interweaves an intimate story of love and art with a history of Bernstein's transformation from an American icon to a world maestro during the second half of the twentieth century. The articulate, moving letters of Kazuko Amano - a woman who began writing fan letters to Bernstein in 1947 and became a close family friend - and Kunihiko Hashimoto - a young man who fell in love with the maestro in 1979 and later became his business representative - convey the meaning Bernstein and his music had at various stages of their lives. The letters also shed light on how Bernstein's compositions, recordings, and performances touched his audiences around the world. The book further traces the making of a global Bernstein amidst the shifting landscape of classical music that made this American celebrity turn increasingly to Europe and Japan. The dramatic change in Japan's place in the world and its relationship to the United States during the postwar decades shaped Bernstein's connection to the country. Ultimately, Dearest Lenny is a story of relationships - between the two individuals and Bernstein, the United States and the world, art and commerce, artists and the state, private and public, conventions and transgressions, dreams and realities - that were at the core of Bernstein's greatest achievements and challenges and that made him truly a maestro of the world. Dearest Lenny paints a poignant portrait of individuals connected across cultures, languages, age, and status through correspondence and music-and the world that shaped their relationships.…
