Improving Reading Comprehension of Middle and High School Students (Literacy Studies) (Repost)




Improving Reading Comprehension of Middle and High School Students (Literacy Studies) By Kristi L. Santi, Deborah K. Reed


2015 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 331914734X | PDF | 3 MB








This volume focuses on our understanding of the reading comprehension of adolescents in a high stakes academic environment. Leading researchers share their most current research on each issue, covering theory and empirical research from a range of specializations, including various content areas, English language learners, students with disabilities, and reading assessment. Topics discussed include: cognitive models of reading comprehension and how they relate to typical or atypical development of reading comprehension, reading in history classes, comprehension of densely worded and symbolic mathematical texts, understanding causality in science texts, the more rigorous comprehension standards in English language arts classes, balancing the practical and measurement constraints of the assessment of reading comprehension, understanding the needs and challenges of English language learners and students in special education with respect to the various content areas discussed in this book. This book is of interest to researchers in literacy and educational psychology as well as curriculum developers.

Swift Design Patterns : Learn best practices of software design to provide flexible and reusable software solution




Design and architecture of any software/solution provides the base and makes it flexible, extensible for future requirements. A good designed software/solution makes it easy to understand and maintain. Design patterns are known as best practices to design software for problems which are repeated in nature.




This course "Swift Design Patterns" gives you understanding of all 23 patterns described in Gang Of Four book – "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides.

Each pattern is explained in a simple way with intent, problem, solution and structure. Also the information of participants, collaboration, consequences and implementation are explained for each one. The pattern structure or example implementation of Swift source are explained to understand how it will be implemented in Object Oriented language Swift.




The course also provides Swift source code of each pattern to understand it in better way. This helps in applying the variation on implementation to see how it can resolve some other implementation bottleneck. There are quizzes after Creational, Structural and Behavioral patterns to check your understanding.




This course will help to understand the best practices for design and apply them to do the better design of software/solution in Swift.




It will be good to have the Gang Of Four book – "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software", by Gamma, Helm, Johnson and Vlissides as a reference book for this course.




Design Patterns Swift implementation source code is available to download.

Per mantenere la promessa fatta al nonno, Cosmo arriva alla misteriosa Abbazia di Blackbrick.


Varcato il cancello, si ritrova in un passato remoto di cui nessuno gli ha mai parlato. Lì suo nonno ha vissuto e lavorato, un tempo. Lì s’intrecciano amicizie e si perpetrano misfatti. Tutto può ancora accadere, e Cosmo spera di trovare le risposte che cambino il futuro della sua famiglia.
