Literary Works Young Children
480 wordsThis article is part of a series drawn from work in the Handbook of Reading Research: Volume III (Kamil, Mosenthal, Pearson, & Barr, 2000). My reasoning for choosing this article is simple; I like to read to children and to tell them stories. I think we can make reading much more interesting if we get away from the Basal Readers and introduce children to all forms of literary works. Literature-Based Instruction: A Rationale Definitions of literature-based instruction emphasize the use of hig...

Decision Making Child Care
1,561 wordsThe second questionnaire (Child Care, Inc) does not seem to be quite well composed, those who selected the questions seemed to forget that children are more important for people that food, for instance. Questions 2, 5, 9 seem to be a bit too personal, if I were a parent that leaves a child to that type of service, I would be somewhat confused to see those types of questions. Question # 7 also seems to be confusing; certainly a parent would want that, and some of the clients might actually choose...

Life After Death Back To Life

J D Salinger Catcher In The Rye
927 wordsCatcher in the Rye There s far more to the censorship issue than a ban on sex and four-letter words. I sometimes think that those of us who need to be the most clearheaded about these matters are planting the very trees that obscure our view of the forest, says Dorothy Briley. According to Briley, a vast amount more is needed than simply vulgar language and suggestive material to censor a novel. But this is the very reason why J. D. Salinger s The Catcher in the Rye is frequently being banned fr...
