Extractions: Discover a new and different approach for teaching reading that results in dramatically higher rates of progress over conventional reading programs. The TampaRead's ReadingKEY method also requires far less time and is far easier to implement than other reading programs as well. Try the first nine weeks of any grade level absolutely free . You'll then see why teachers and entire school districts are now using Tamparead's ReadingKEY to improve student reading ability in ways that other reading programs could never accomplish ! We are also one of the very few reading programs that teach according to the research findings from the federal NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT pertaining to " how " children learn to read best. This research clearly shows that the ability to read and comprehend increases dramatically when students have first achieved immediate word recognition for their grade level reading vocabulary words. Word recognition is simply the process of being able to look at and read a word easily - without hesitation. This skill, also known as "fluency," is specifically taught in our program. All it takes is 15-20 minutes each day with our unique memorization techniques to observe dramatically improved rates of progress with any age student. After detailed analysis of popular school textbooks, we've identified the precise reading words for each grade that your child or students need to know for scoring in the top 10% on any national standardized test.

North : Landscape Of The Imagination A history of the Canadian North and its influences on the Arts of its residents and outsiders, from the precontact period up to the modern era. Compiled by the National Library of Canada, with extensive lists for suggested reading. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/2/16/index-e.html
Extractions: THE CANADIAN NORTH: harsh and forbidding, beautiful and sustaining; a homeland for the indigenous people who have created an extraordinary art from its rugged landscape; a frontier for Southerners who define themselves against its presence. From the early days of the Pre-Dorset and Dorset people who moved across the Arctic in the first millennium B.C., Northerners have left a record of their art. We know little of these early people, but we can admire the beautiful ivory carvings they left behind. And we can still respond to the legends the Inuit have told about the Tuniit (only later named the Dorset, for Cape Dorset the site of the first archaeological artifacts recognized to be from a separate culture). The Canadian Arctic has been described in Norse legends, reproduced in paintings and sketches by early seamen or explorers, recreated through hundreds of years of Inuit sculpture, and painted, filmed and photographed by more contemporary artists. It has provided a compelling setting for fiction, and has inspired countless legends, poems and stories. In North: Landscape of the Imagination , the National Library has drawn on its collection of books, magazines, manuscripts and music to reveal the North of the artist. The collection contains a rich legacy of publications related to the North, one much broader and deeper than can be included in this exhibition. But it is one which lends itself naturally to the retelling of one strand of northern history - the North as experienced and recreated through the imagination of its artist.
