Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Mrs. Sorensen’s husband dies, she rekindles a long-dormant love with an unsuitable mate in “Mrs. Sorensen and the Sasquatch.” In “Open the Door and the Light Pours Through,” a young man wrestles with grief and his sexuality in an exchange of letters with his faraway beloved. “Dreadful Young Ladies” demonstrates the strength and power—known and unknown—of the imagination. In “Notes on the Untimely Death of Ronia Drake,” a witch is haunted by the deadly repercussions of a spell. “The Insect and the Astronomer” upends expectations about good and bad, knowledge and ignorance, love and longing. The World Fantasy Award–winning novella “The Unlicensed Magician” introduces the secret magical life of an invisible girl once left for dead—with thematic echoes of Barnhill’s Newbery Medal–winning novel, The Girl Who Drank the Moon. With bold, reality-bending invention underscored by richly illuminated universal themes of love, death, jealousy, and hope, the stories in Dreadful Young Ladies show why its author has been hailed as “a fantasist on the order of Neil Gaiman” (Minneapolis Star Tribune). This collection cements Barnhill’s place as one of the wittiest, most vital and compelling voices in contemporary literature.

Book excerpt: Reading is an imperative skill for all students, but at the high school level it is rarely, if ever, a foci. This study intends to review previous practices of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) and implement those practices on a cross-section of high school students. In doing so, the current research will seek to find answers to the following research questions: •How will Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) affect the reading levels of high school student participants? •What will be the effect of SSR on the students' perception of reading for pleasure? The focus of the literature review found common goals among SSR programs done at primary levels and lower levels of secondary education. These consisted of time devoted to SSR, the idea that SSR builds vocabulary and increases reading comprehension, the need for students to establishing ownership, and that there is a lack of studies done at the high school level to determine if an SSR program would be helpful to upper secondary students, not just ELD students. Based on the literature review, this case study established the need to include a cross-section of the school population in addition to ELD students. The current case study used quantitative methods by administering reading tests as well as reading habits and attitudes surveys to participants prior to the implementation of SSR. These tests were retrieved through the literature review and used to potentially duplicate results found through the previous literature. These same tests were administered after the SSR timeframe was completed. The results of the reading tests and surveys were reviewed based on the following groupings: ethnic, ELD, and overall. This was done to reflect many state and national tests which display similar grouping results. The findings, although limited, suggest that students' reading levels and attitudes toward reading for pleasure are positively affected by SSR. The outcomes of the various tests and surveys could potentially conclude that SSR is still needed at the upper secondary level to further help all students build their reading comprehension as well as develop a positive attitude towards reading for pleasure.

Book excerpt: "In 1997, Congress asked the Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), in consultation with the Secretary of Education, to convene a national panel to assess the status of research-based knowledge, including the effectiveness of various approaches to teaching children to read. The panel was charged with providing a report that should present the panel's conclusions, an indication of the readiness for application in the classroom of the results of this research, and, if appropriate, a strategy for rapidly disseminating this information to facilitate effective reading instruction in the schools" -- p. 1-1.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students are taught how to read, but that does not always lead to a desire to want to read. Motivating students to want to read is a challenge teachers face every day. In an educational world driven by standardized test scores, fewer English teachers incorporate sustained silent reading into the regular part of their curriculum. Teachers have mixed feelings when it comes to whether or not sustained silent reading is an effective strategy to use amidst the pressures of teaching to the standards. Some students may be provided sustained silent reading time, but not use it appropriately, or demonstrate a lack of motivation to participate in the act of reading silently. Frustrated teachers who are not sure how to approach these problems, may decide, as a result, to give very little class time, or none at all, to reading for pleasure. Most reading that students do is required reading assigned by an instructor. Few adolescents choose to read outside of school. Thus, teachers want to know how to increase students' motivation to read. The purpose of this work was to investigate the value of providing a dedicated time for sustained silent reading during the school day in order to increase reading motivation and the promotion of reading enjoyment. Additionally, the role and impact of the teacher during and between those reading sessions, and the different structures of sustained silent reading implemented during the dedicated time were evaluated for their effect on students' reading motivation. The intent of this research was to use the results and analysis of the study to determine if the various processes used will facilitate reading motivation in high school students. The participants of the study were 31 College Preparatory English 12 students at Elk Grove High School. Three different sources of data were collected and analyzed. The researcher developed a 13-question reading interest survey to discover the students' attitudes about reading and about sustained silent reading in school. The researcher implemented a structured, once a week, independent reading program. Halfway through the study, the researcher conducted a whole class interview to find out how the students are feeling about the reading program, and whether student participation in this program relates to increased reading motivation. The study concluded with a 16 question post-survey to capture the students' views of the reading, the independent reading program, and their reading motivation. As a result of the implementation of the sustained silent reading program, most students enjoyed reading during the school day. Student interest in reading at school increased because reading for pleasure now worked in their busy schedules, and it was a consistent routine the students came to expect and enjoy. The students preferred having free choice in what to read, and appreciated the elimination of a grade or project associated with the completion of independent reading. The importance of having access to a classroom library, and teacher and peer recommendations and modeling seem to impact students' willingness to read. It can be concluded that a one-day-a-week sustained silent reading program can affect students' willingness and motivation to read for pleasure.
