The Evening Star: The Rise and Fall of a Great Washington Newspaper is the story of the 129-year history of one of the preeminent newspapers in journalism history when city newspapers across the country were at the height of their power and influence. The Star was the most financially successful newspaper in the Capital and among the top ten in the country until its decline in the 1970s. The paper began in 1852 when the capital city was a backwater southern town. The Star’s success over the next century was due to its singular devotion to local news, its many respected journalists, and the historic times in which it was published. The book provides a unique perspective on more than a century of local, national and international history. The book also exposes the complex reasons for the Star’s rise and fall from dominance in Washington’s newspaper market. The Noyes and Kauffmann families who owned and operated the Star for a century play an important role in that story. Patriarch Crosby Noyes’ life and legacy is the most fascinating –a classic Horatio Alger story of the illegitimate son of a Maine farmer who by the time of his death was a respected newspaper publisher and member of Washington’s influential elite. In 1974 his descendants sold the once-great newspaper Noyes built to Joseph Allbritton. Allbritton and then Time, Inc. tried to save the Star but failed.

It addresses significant issues in wellbeing education in initial teacher education, teacher, and leaders’ wellbeing during, schooling disruption and in teaching more broadly through innovative multi-disciplinary research. This book addresses how to lead wellbeing within schools, and showcases a unique strategy adopted by an Australian university to integrate a wellbeing framework throughout initial teacher education preparation. It explores different evidence-based models of wellbeing education and focuses on the significance of culture and context. Readers can learn how teachers can integrate evidence-based wellbeing approaches to transform their professional practice and promote student flourishing and academic growth.
Readers 11-20 systematically introduce many new digraphs (e.g sh and er). Used together with the basic letter sounds (a for apple, b for bat etc.), they enable students to effortlessly decode large numbers of words.Readers 11-20 keep things simple and introduce only one new digraph (e.g. sh) per reader. This makes for sure and steady progress. Here we introduce the first 3-letter digraph (all). As usual, to aid memory it is used many times throughout the Reader.Some single-letter new sounds like y as in by or e as in he are also taught. This helps children read many common words.All new sounds (e.g. ar as in Mars) and special words (like space) are learned in the context of a story. This makes them easy to remember.

Readers 1x-10x are 10 new stories, set at the beginner level (as 1-10). These were requested by teachers to provide children with more practice on simple sounding words before moving on to the next level (11-20) with its many digraphs.Without introducing any new spelling principles, the Readers 1x-10x provide more long words which can be simply sounded out.The printer?s a (a rather than a) is introduced in story 4x.There are hardly any new special words in the 1x-10x series. The basic principles of sounding out are consolidated with more sounding words and longer sounding words.
Readers 1-10 are the very first readers, following immediately on from the Alphabet Book. This first set of readers systematically introduces all basic letter sounds along with several essential special words.Very quickly, children experience the joy of being able to read "books" for themselves. They will be able to read simple sentences with confidence.

Readers 21-30 continue to build step-by-step on the information learnt in Readers 1-20. Every Reader is only slightly more advanced than the one before it, meaning your student will be able to cope with the new material. In this way, progress is smooth, steady and free of anxiety.Reader 21 teaches the new sound ch. As usual, we use it many times throughout the story to make it more memorable: e.g. chop, chin and lunch.Notice how the Readers gradually grow in complexity. By this stage, children are already starting to read with confidence.

Children who are up to these Readers are often able to read simple fictional works, for instance Choose Your Own Adventure stories and the like. This is a great thrill for them.At advanced levels, Readers occasionally teach up to three new sounds. This speeds up learning without overburdening the now competent reader.Due to the systematic structure of the program, even more complex sentences are soon no problem.Notice how the special (i.e. sight) words work together with the spelling patterns learned. Together they help form a base from which children can 'decode' huge numbers of words - even ones they have never seen before.

Readers 31-40 introduce the long vowel sounds (e.g. a-e as in cake). This single feature enables children to decode a very large set of new words.Here the first long vowel digraph is taught. Until this point, all words that contained them were learned as special words.Words are chosen to reinforce both old and new spelling patterns. Screwdriver, for instance, contains the new sound for Reader 37, ew, as well as er which was first learnt in Reader 14. This repetition helps long term retention.The long vowel digraphs are reinforced by a careful choice of vocab: e.g. Kate, cake & rake.At the end of each Reader, Some New Words include additional words that practice the new sound being learned.
