Passing this on from Stephen Krashen's mailing list: A blatant commercial message. New book just published, Fay Shin and Stephen Krashen, Summer Reading: Program and Evidence. Contains a full report of Fay Shin's highly successful summer reading project in California (which I refer to as "Goosebumps Summer" in my talks). Access to good reading, time to read, discussion of reading among the children, browsing in the library resulted in good gains in vocabulary, spectacular gains in reading comprehension - 1.3 years in 5.5 weeks on one test! Also contains a review of research on the positive impact of pleasure reading over the summer. Regular price is $25.99. For some unknown reason, AMAZON is, at least right now, offering it at a 27% discount, only $18.99. Ed Nizalowski, SMS Newark Valley High School Newark Valley, NY enizalowski@nvcs.stier.org "It was as though I had been dying of thirst and the librarian had handed me a five gallon bucket of water. I drank and drank. The only reason I am here and not in prison is because of that woman. I was a loser, but she showed me the power of reading." Gary Paulsen, from the biography by Edith Hope Fine -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
