C.J. Daugherty – Il segreto del silenzio. Night School


Italian | Newton | 2015 | EPUB | Pages 315 | ASIN: B011JKYRB2 | 5.29 Mb






Dopo aver trovato rifugio in una località segreta nel Sud della Francia, Allie è convinta di essere al sicuro, almeno fino a quando le guardie di Nathaniel non la attaccheranno. A quel punto, costretta di nuovo alla fuga, dovrà far ritorno in un luogo che può davvero chiamare casa: la Cimmeria Academy. Ma quando arriva, a malapena riconosce quel posto… Le tensioni sono palpabili, la maggior parte degli studenti diserta le lezioni, gli insegnanti non sono più punti di riferimento e le guardie controllano tutto. Nathaniel è vicino – molto vicino – a ottenere tutto ciò che vuole. Nel disperato tentativo di fermarlo, Allie accetta di accompagnare Lucinda in una pericolosa missione durante la notte. Ma così facendo, potrebbe mettere a repentaglio la vita dei suoi amici… Carter e Sylvain sono entrambi pronti a combattere al suo fianco e dimostrarle il loro amore. E Allie sa che deve decidere una volta per tutte chi vuole veramente. Nessuno potrà aspettare per sempre. Il tempo per l’indecisione è finito. Tutto è in gioco e chi vince prende tutto…

Dimensions of Literacy: A Conceptual Base for Teaching Reading and Writing in School Settings, 4 edition




Dimensions of Literacy: A Conceptual Base for Teaching Reading and Writing in School Settings, 4 edition by Stephen B. Kucer


English | 2014 | ISBN: 0415826454, 0415826462 | 384 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB




This popular text, now in its fourth edition, “unpacks” the various dimensions of literacy―linguistic and other sign systems; cognitive; sociocultural; and developmental―and at the same time accounts for the interrelationships among them. Distinguished by its examination of literacy from a multidimensional and interdisciplinary perspective, it provides a strong conceptual foundation upon which literacy curriculum and instruction in school settings can be grounded.




Linking theory and research to practice in an understandable, user-friendly manner, the text provides in-depth coverage of the dimensions of literacy, includes demonstrations and “hands-on” activities, examines authentic reading and writing events that reflect key concepts, and summarizes the concepts in tables and figures.




Changes in the Fourth Edition


• Addresses academic language, new literacies/multiliteracies, and their relationship to literacy learning


• More fully develops the developmental dimension of literacy in separate chapters on adult mediation and learner construction


• Expands the discussion of multimodal literacies


• Extends and integrates the discussion of bilingualism and biliteracy throughout the text


• Integrates instructional implications more fully throughout
