Core Principles of Teaching Children How to Teach Themselves to Read: - Effective early reading instruction is based on activities that guide the child from speech to print, from sound to symbol and which move from the concrete to the abstract.- Teach the alphabetic principle before you teach the alphabet.- Letter knowledge and decoding skills are best learned through the child's application of the alphabetic principle using self-guided materials to match speech sounds to printed letters and words.- Freedom to choose activities in the learning environment is key to gradually shifting responsibility for learning to the student.- Freedom to choose individualizes the learning experience for the student, according to his strengths and interests.- Repetition is the healing balm of education. It is the teacher's best teaching tool and the quickest, most direct way for a child to master early literacy skills.- Emphasis must shift from a traditional model of memorization through drill, to a deeper, more permanent learning through self-guided hands-on activities.

For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and getting to your appointments on time by destroying the Moon. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and amusing illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.

Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word - With a New Introduction by the Author

The twentieth anniversary edition of one of the most controversial books ever published on race and language is now more relevant than ever in this season of racial reckoning--from "one of our most important and perceptive writers on race" (The Washington Post). In addition to a brave and bracing inquiry into the origins, uses, and impact of the infamous word, this edition features an extensive new introduction that addresses major developments in its evolution during the last two decades of its vexed history. In the new introduction to his classic work, Kennedy questions the claim that "nigger" is the most tabooed term in the American language, faced with the implacable prevalence of its old-fashioned anti-Black sense. "Nigger" continues to be part of the loud soundtrack of the worst instances of racial aggression in American life--racially motivated assaults and murders, arson, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and workplace harassment. Consider this: twenty years ago, Kennedy wrote that any major politician credibly accused of using "nigger" would be immediately abandoned and ostracized. He was wrong. Donald Trump, former POTUS himself, was credibly charged, and the allegation caused little more than a yawn. No one doubted the accuracy of the claim but amidst all his other racist acts his "nigger-baiting" no longer seemed shocking. "Nigger" is still very much alive and all too widely accepted. On the other hand, Kennedy is concerned to address the many episodes in which people have been punished for quoting, enunciating, or saying "nigger" in circumstances that should have made it clear that the speakers were doing nothing wrong--or at least nothing sufficiently wrong to merit the extent of the denunciation they suffered. He discusses, for example, the inquisition of Bill Maher (and his pathetic apology) and the (white) teachers who have been disciplined for reading out loud texts that contain "nigger." He argues that in assessing these controversies, we ought to be more careful about the use/mention distinction: menacingly calling someone a "nigger" is wholly different than quoting a sentence from a text by James Baldwin or Toni Morrison or Flannery O'Connor or Mark Twain. Kennedy argues against the proposition that different rules should apply depending upon the race of the speaker of "nigger," offering stunningly commonsensical reasons for abjuring the erection of such boundaries. He concludes by venturing a forecast about the likely status of "nigger" in American culture during the next twenty years when we will see the clear ascendance of a so-called "minority majority" body politic--which term itself is redolent of white supremacy.
