And when Putin explained Russia’s need to combat the expansion of the European Union, and laid out the argument to invade Ukraine, it was Ilyin’s arguments on which the president relied. New editions of Ilyin’s dense books of political philosophy became popular in Kremlin circles – and all of Russia’s civil servants reportedly received a collection of his essays in 2014. Ilyin’s personal papers, held in a library in Michigan, were also brought “home” at the president’s request. Putin first drew attention to him – Ilyin was a philosopher, not a historian, a Russian who died in exile in Switzerland in 1954 – when he organised the repatriation of Ilyin’s remains for reburial in Moscow in 2005. Ilyin is a figure who might have been easily lost to history were it not for the posthumous patronage of Russia’s leader. When asked, in 2014, by a delegation of students and history teachers for his chosen chronicler of Russia’s past, Vladimir Putin came up with a single name: Ivan Ilyin. E ven presidents who don’t believe in history need a historian to rely on.

Lillard explains the scientific basis for Montessori's system and the distinctions between practices in traditional, "Montessomething," and authentic Montessori education. In reading this book, parents and teachers alike will develop a clear understanding of what happens in a Montessori classroom and, more important, why it happens and why it works. Lillard presents the research behind nine insights that are foundations of Montessori education, describing how each of these insights is applied in the Montessori classroom. In Montessori, Angeline Stoll Lillard shows that science has finally caught up with Maria Montessori. One hundred and ten years ago, Maria Montessori, the first female physician in Italy, devised a very different method of educating children, based on her observations of how they naturally learn.

Still Anna must work hard to adjust to life in a new country, learn English and to convince her lively and athletic older siblings that she is not merely "Awkward Anna" as they have dubbed her. Once there, it is discovered by the family doctor that her difficulties are caused by poor vision, and she is outfitted with glasses. Perpetually clumsy and slow Anna and her family emigrate from Germany to Canada on the eve of WWII. It is one of the best children's chapter books you will ever read. It will refresh your soul."Īnd so, friends, like Ms Paterson, I recommend From Anna to you. If you haven’t read it before, do, it will warm your heart. If you are an outsider, longing for love and understanding …įrom Anna is a lovely book. If you are forced to leave the only home you know to move to a strange new setting, this is your book. If you are teased by your more able siblings or put down at school, this is your book. If you, or a loved one, are struggling with an unrecognized disability, this is your book. If you long for a book about a strong, loving family (and they are rare these days), this is your book. For forty years now, young Anna Solden has been warming the hearts of readers of every age and description. "Jean Little has often been called “Canada’s most beloved writer of children’s literature,” and one has only to read From Anna to understand why. Katherine Paterson writes in the introduction: *Please note that the F&P scale is not a scientifically backed metric, simply an informal assessment to match students to appropriate books. See the reading level correlation chart to the left for how all of the leveling systems line up. I have included in the chart and book list below where the "grade levels" would fall, but I would not recommend using the grade levels as your primary leveling system. See above (or left- mobile vs desktop) for a description of each level (directly from Fountas and Pinnell). This makes it easier to find the just-right level book for a student and to have a clearer picture of how to challenge them to improve reading levels. "I read at a second grade level"), (b) it is easy to find the F&P level of a book with the technology we have (see websites and apps tab to learn how), and (c) it divides books into 28 levels- AA (pre-reader) through Z+ (Adult). I find this leveling system to be particularly useful because (a) it does not consistently remind underperforming students of their shortcomings (imagine a 4th grade student saying, "I'm a level K reader!" vs. Instead, I use a combination of standardized reading assessments and the informal Fountas and Pinnell reading level assessments. Not only are all students within a particular grade level completely different in terms of age and ability, but the "grade level" reading levels are incredibly broad and not specifically helpful. One common misconception is that there is a specific "grade level" reading expectation. My Review: I am convinced that this series is cruelly aimed at obsessive completist readers.

Pushkin Children's Books ( non-affiliate Amazon link) RECKLESS: Living Shadows (MirrorWorld #2) This is because I was blessed to come from a family of storytellers who told many stories about our family and neighbors. It has, however, taken me longer to tell the Logan story than I originally anticipated, and the work is still not finished. Taylor, thank you taking time to share with us.īBS: Did you ever think the Logan story would go on so long? A testament to Taylor’s vivid imagery and proof that trends be damned, a good story is a good story in any era. I don’t need statistics or research to tell me that makes those books among the longest running YA series on the market. Since then, Taylor has written six more books in the Logan family series. Which means I was among the first generation of young girls impacted by the moving story of strength brought to life by Mildred D. I was about eight or nine when I was introduced to Cassie Logan and her family in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. It’s not everyday that you get to interview one of your childhood icons. Allow me to giggle like silly for a second. Olive braces herself to get through 24 hours of wedding hell before she can return to her comfortable, unlucky life. Worst of all, she’s forcing Olive to spend the day with her sworn enemy, Ethan, who just happens to be the best man. Her meet-cute with her fiancé is something out of a romantic comedy (gag) and she’s managed to finance her entire wedding by winning a series of Internet contests (double gag). Her identical twin sister Amelia, on the other hand, is probably the luckiest person in the world. Olive is always unlucky: in her career, in love, in…well, everything. For two sworn enemies, anything can happen during the Hawaiian trip of a lifetime-even love-in this witty and swoonworthy romance from the New York Times bestselling duo who “hilariously depict modern dating” ( Us Weekly) and authors of Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating and Roomies. Hun-Kamé has been deposed from his throne by his twin brother, Vucub-Kamé, and Casiopeia finds herself first an unwilling and then an active participant in his quest to take revenge and reclaim his standing as the ruler of Xilbaba. She stumbles upon a locked chest containing (most of) the dismembered body of one of the Lords of Xilbalba, a Mayan god of death called Hun-Kamé, and frees him - becoming spiritually linked to him in the process. The plot of the book is simple: A young woman, Casiopeia Tun, is suffering Cinderella-esque deprivation in the house of her grandfather, a wealthy rural landholder in the Yucatán. Novelist and NPR contributor Silvia Moreno-Garcia's new fantasy, Gods of Jade and Shadow, is at its witty, compelling, and merciless best when it is fully rooted in its setting, a perfectly organic combination of 1920s Jazz Age Mexico and the Mayan mythological text, the Popol Vuh.
