Parenting with Kindness & Consequences
Being a good parent is the most challenging—and meaningful—job anyone can assume. The manner in which parents and other caregivers fulfill this task will impact the future of the child, as well as the world.
In Parenting with Kindness & Consequences, parents and grandparents are encouraged to nurture children from birth, with many examples and tips on how to compassionately guide them through each stage of development.
Although this book focuses on early childhood, the same principles apply to older children, teens, and young adults.
Slaying the Dragons: 21st Century Literacy
We know that those fearsome, fire-breathing creatures known as dragons do not truly exist. Yet, in the world of literacy instruction, teachers often feel as though they are battling equally severe and frightening conditions that hinder literacy success. Slaying the Dragons: 21st Century Literacy considers several causes of literacy failure. The most severe literacy challenges come from various types of dyslexia and dysgraphia and are the predominant challenges that are considered for remediation. Research information, suggested strategies, and recommended modifications follow the introduction of each “dragon.” © 2011 Author House.
Whether you teach in a public, private, or a home setting, you will sometimes face the challenge of a student who learns differently. As you strive to meet the needs of a special student, you will yearn for adaptations and modification ideas. Making a Difference for Students with Differences contains a collection of adaptations. Many of the ideas come from areas of expertise outside education. For that reason, some suggestions may seem extraordinary. However, students with drastic needs require drastic responses. The text begins with the foundation and terminology of special education and proceeds with new terms for inclusion. A bibliography contains valuable resources for materials, equipment, and workshops in the hopes that pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and parents will seek additional resources for special learners.

Dyslexia Analysis
In 1988, Sharon Smith and Barbara Frandsen developed electronic checklists of characteristics for dyslexia, dysgraphia and related disorders. The purpose was to raise awareness of behaviors that can easily be dismissed as unimportant. The authors hoped that checklists would be used as evidence to request in-depth testing by a school or diagnostician.
