My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world.

The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary.

Summary: Mindset - The New...

Brooks Bryant

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, & it does not accompany the official 
"Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., introduces the powerful concept of mindset, which has the potential to impact success in various aspects of life significantly. Based on extensive research, Dweck distinguishes between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where people believe abilities are unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe that abilities can be developed and improved over time. 
Dweck's book demonstrates how adopting a growth mindset can lead to incredible achievement in education, work, sports, and the arts. She also delves into the concept of a "false growth mindset" and provides guidance on embracing a deeper and more authentic growth mindset. Furthermore, she extends the application of mindset beyond individuals to groups and organizations, emphasizing how it can shape the culture of these entities. 
By understanding and fostering the right mindset, Dweck suggests that leaders, parents, teachers, and coaches can inspire personal growth and transformation in themselves and those they influence. "Mindset" offers invaluable insights into the psychology of success and provides practical strategies for harnessing the power of mindset to achieve outstanding accomplishments.

Learning to Be Literate - More...

Deborah MacPhee, Patricia Paugh

There is not one right way to teach a child to read. 
 
 
 
Recent media stories about education have featured the "Science of Reading," whose proponents typically present the systematic teaching of phonics as a one-size-fits-all method that guarantees reading success for all students. But as literacy scholars Patricia Paugh and Deborah MacPhee demonstrate, the decoding of words is only one of many skills that are central to an effective early literacy education. 
 
 
 
In Learning to Be Literate, they present a four-part framework for active literacy learning that eschews oppositional arguments about different approaches, and instead situates children as meaning makers: the whole point of being literate. There is no single or simple solution that will fit every child. But by using the ALL framework to inform instruction, educators can help young learners think deeply about ideas and language at the same time as they learn to work out the sounds and symbol systems of language.
