This book shows how, and in what ways, prenatal development serves as a preparation for life after birth. Largely, such explanation stemming from the transnatal continuity theory has been ignored in mainstream developmental psychology. However, since the advent of real-time ultrasonography with humans, and increasingly refined experiements with avian and mammalian species, plausible scenarios linking prenatal and postnatal development are beginning to emerge. One is the theory of fetal programming. Here, the authors provide authoritative reviews of current knowledge regarding continuities and discontinuities between prenatal and postnatal development of brain-behavior relationships across a variety of species, including humans.

Vision &amp; Voice is based on the premise that art slows us down, forcing us to stop and consider a wondrous world that we too often rush past. Extending our notions of the literacy spectrum to include the visual and oral arts in the reading and writing classroom encourages students to develop their imaginations as they envision possibilities for their lives and their worlds.Vision &amp; Voice embraces some profound understandings about teaching, learning, research, curriculum, and multiple ways of knowing. Two comprehensive research projects form the core of the book. The first is an environmental study of the rainforest, which integrates reading, writing, science, art, and math. The second, centered around textile mills of the Industrial Revolution, connects reading, writing, and music. As readers listen to the CD included with the book and explore colored photographs that showcase the two projects, they will discover, both literally and metaphorically, the visions and voices of adolescents in a language-rich classroom.
Extensive pictures and appendixes take the reader through each comprehensive project. In addition, brief, practical vignettes show how to extend the literacy spectrum to include the visual and oral arts in the language arts classroom on a day-to-day basis. Readers will learn how several teachers dismantled the barriers that separated their disciplines, enabling their students to make sense of their learning in ways that, ultimately, enhanced the meaning of their lives.

Inside the Writer's-Reader's Notebook: A Workshop Essential

The Writer's-Reader's Notebook is essential to everything Linda Rief's students do in her workshop classroom as literate young men and women. Far more than a place where students merely practice writing, this is where they do the work of learning. Now Linda shares her Writer's-Reader's Notebook with you and your students, in the exact format that she and her students have found most useful - a format she has perfected in more than two decades in the classroom. Conveniently available in packs of five and with instructions for each of its sections printed inside, these notebooks are now ready for use in your classroom. The design of this notebook is flexible and adaptable to the demands of not only English/language arts, but any content area concerned with the development of literacy.   Linda has organized the Writer's-Reader's Notebook for two important purposes - to meet the specific demands of literacy instruction and to provide a safe, structured way for students to discover the power of choice in their writing and reading as well as the time and space in which to exercise it. The Notebook includes specially designated places for students to:  note what books they are reading or want to read  jot down ideas for future writing  respond to reading, draft writing ideas, think about their world  take notes during teacher-directed lessons  record new vocabulary they encounter  make special note of words with troublesome spellings.     Each section contains specific instructions and guidelines, providing a helpful structure for students as they learn and grow as writers and readers. Linda also includes some of her favorite inspirational quotes about writing and reading throughout; meanwhile, her organizational tools help students navigate the ideas and information they've compiled during the year.   In addition, Linda's guide, Inside the Writer's-Reader's Notebook, is available separately and offers in-depth ideas for teaching through the Notebook as well as numerous student samples to model and inspire its usage.   With its tear-resistant cover, thick paper stock, softened rules for drawing and writing, and backpack-friendly size, the Writer's-Reader's Notebook's fully functional design keeps the needs of adolescents in mind. And with Linda Rief's experience, wisdom, and know-how behind it, you'll discover a proven, convenient, and powerful way to help kids develop voice, explore their ideas, record their growing awareness of themselves, and cultivate a love of writing and reading.

Read Write Teach (Print eBook Bundle): Choice and Challenge in the Reading-Writing Workshop

Helping students put words on a page can be hard enough. "I don't have anything to write about!" they say. And when writing does happen, how do you help them develop these ideas into more effective pieces? A powerful tool to jumpstart writing In The Quickwrite Handbook, master teacher Linda Rief shares 100 compelling mentor texts and shows how to use each one as a powerful tool for sparking successful writing. Each mentor text includes "Try this" suggestions for inviting students to get started. You'll also find "Interludes" woven throughout: examples of quickwrites that students crafted into more fully developed pieces. These mentor texts are curated in four categories: <ul>
<li>
Seeing Inward: How do students view themselves?</li> <li>
Leaning Outward: What do students consider when they step outside of themselves?</li> <li>
Beyond Self: What do students notice and wonder about the world at large?</li> <li>
Looking Back: How does reflection help students grow into more articulate, thoughtful citizens of the world?</li> </ul>
Quickwrites go beyond writing prompts The pages of this book champion Linda's wise words: "Quickwrites-writing to find writing-are a powerful teaching tool that help students find ideas, discover their voices, and build their confidence as they discover they have important things to say." Quickwrites are more than a set of formulaic prompts. They are opportunities for students to use another writer's words to stimulate their thinking and-through writing themselves-to discover a voice they didn't know they had.
