In this book you will find the McLaughlin Model of teaching emergent literacy to young children set down in a clear format that makes it easy for you to glean the information you need to establish the program in your classroom. As it spreads through pilot programs in Palm Beach County School District, Florida, this model of teaching is proving to be highly successful for children from many different backgrounds and to produce outstanding results in "Title 1" kindergarten classes. Chapter by chapter, you will discover how to lead your students into reading books and flowing with writing. You will find how to do this by teaching skills through meaningful reading and writing and by training your students in the habits they need to be successful. You will be guided into quickly evaluating your students and dividing them into small groups where they can learn at their own level and pace, moving on and up when they are ready. You will learn how to build your students' self-esteem and self-confidence and how to train them to work cooperatively as part of a positive, risk-free classroom community where everyone is a teacher and learner. You will also learn how to keep the excitement and momentum flowing in your classroom all through the year. As you use this model with your students, you will find that your expectations rise. Your enjoyment of teaching will increase as you get caught up in your students' energy for learning and their excitement at what they achieve. Like the teachers in the McLaughlin Model Pilot Programs, you will most likely be amazed at the results.

This riveting nonfiction picture book biography explores both the failures and successes of self-taught engineer Emma Lilian Todd as she tackles one of the greatest challenges of the early 1900s: designing an airplane. Emma Lilian Todd's mind was always soaring--she loved to solve problems. Lilian tinkered and fiddled with all sorts of objects, turning dreams into useful inventions. As a child, she took apart and reassembled clocks to figure out how they worked. As an adult, typing up patents at the U.S. Patent Office, Lilian built the inventions in her mind, including many designs for flying machines. However, they all seemed too impractical. Lilian knew she could design one that worked. She took inspiration from both nature and her many failures, driving herself to perfect the design that would eventually successfully fly. Illustrator Tracy Subisak's art brings to life author Kirsten W. Larson's story of this little-known but important engineer.

WINNER OF THE SCHNEIDER FAMILY BOOK AWARD A heartfelt and hopeful debut about a bird-loving autistic child whose family's special nest is in danger of falling apart. Axel loves everything about birds, especially eagles. No one worries that an eagle will fly too far and not come home—a fact Axel wishes his mother understood. Deep down, Axel knows that his mother is like an osprey—the best of all bird mothers—but it’s hard to remember that when she worries and keeps secrets about important things. His dad is more like a wild turkey, coming and going as he pleases. His dad’s latest disappearance is the biggest mystery of all. Despite all this, Axel loves his life—especially the time he spends with his friends observing the eagles’ nest in the woods near his home. But when a tornado damages not only Axel’s home but the eagles’ nest, Axel’s life is thrown into chaos. Suddenly his dad is back to help repair the damage, and Axel has to manage his dad’s presence and his beloved birds’ absence. Plus, his mom seems to be keeping even more secrets. But Axel knows another important fact: an eagle’s instincts let it soar. Axel must trust his own instincts to help heal his family and the nest he loves. (Cover image may vary.)
