Recommended: A comprehensive essay on reading skills

Dear Trenton Lee Stewart, My name is Larissa Rusenescu and I am 14 years old. I was recently introduced to your book series The Mysterious Benedict Society. I liked those books from the first of the series and would really enjoy meeting you and having you talk to my school about the books. I am writing to you to ask you to come to our school, Maxwell Adventist Academy. When you are here, you could read a part of The Mysterious Benedict Society to our school. This could inform more people of the books and make them want to read the books. Then you could tell us about why you wrote these books. Explaining some of the lessons that are found in the book would be interesting to hear about too. Having a lot to do may cause you to not have time to come here but it would be very good for the students. I firmly believe that all of the lessons from the books would help all the students that come to Maxwell in different ways, making all of their lives better. …show more content…

Out of everyone in my class, I enjoy reading books most but, I think, if they are introduced to the books, especially by you, the author, it could make them like reading more than they do. Thank you for reading this letter. I hope you will come and introduce you series to us and tell us about them. Thank you

  • Trust-Busting: Theodore Roosevelt’s Effectiveness in Regulating Big Business

    1618 Words  | 4 Pages

    Before a series of antitrust acts and laws were instituted by the federal government, it was not illegal for businesses to use any means to eliminate competition in late nineteenth-century America. Production technology was now advanced to the point that supply would surpass product demand. As competition in any given market increased, more and more companies joined together in either trusts or holding companies to bring market dominance under their control (Cengage 2). As President Theodore Roosevelt was sworn into office in 1901, he led America into action with forceful government solutions (“Online” 1). Roosevelt effectively regulated offending business giants by the formation of the Department of Commerce and Labor, the Bureau of Corporations, and antitrust lawsuits.

  • How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading John Holt

    205 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the essay titled “How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading” written by John Holt and published in Reading for writers in 2013, Mr. Holt discusses why most children aren’t interested in reading. Mr. Holt spent fourteen years as an elementary school teacher. He believed classroom activities destroy a student’s learning ability. Mr. Holt never let his students say what they thought about a book. He wanted his students to look up every word they didn’t know. People can learn difficult words without looking them up in the dictionary.

  • Marshall Applewhite: Heaven’s Gate Cult Leader

    1430 Words  | 3 Pages

    A cult is defined as a small group of people that do not adhere to the larger widely accepted belief system, instead they are often regarded to have extreme or dangerous beliefs (Cult). Cult leaders engage in many different methods and actions to gain their followers. Some cults last for a long period, others end shortly after creation. Cults nevertheless hold a stigma that brings terror and confusion to many outsiders looking in. The public questions why people could become so consumed in someone else that they could bring themselves to take their own lives. Not all cults are the evils the public makes them out to be; they are not necessarily spotless institutions however. When one thinks of a cult, they imagine death, brainwashing, and simple human robots following the reincarnation of the devil. Not all cults end in mass suicide, violence, or terror; many religions once started as cults and have thrived since. However, some cults end in the expected display of death, confusion, and regret. Heaven’s Gate, led by Marshall Applegate, is one such example. Marshall Applegate invoked various methods of persuasion to gain followers, who in the end would commit suicide in attempts to reach their idea of heaven.

  • The Debate Between Ruth Benedict And James Rachels

    Today's topic is on whether morality is completely relative or whether there are any moral absolutes. We as individuals and as a culture have certain sets of morals and ideals that we stand by.

Today I will try to show that James Rachels argument is logically stronger than Ruth Benedict's argument

    On October 10th, 2017 at Springhurst Elementary School, I conducted a “Reading Interest Survey” and the “Elementary Reading Attitude Survey.” These surveys were conducted on a 1st grade student, Jax, to determine what his feelings are towards reading in different settings, what genres he prefers to read, and interests. It was found that Jax doesn’t mind reading, but prefers a few different topics. This was evident through his raw score of 30 on recreational reading, and a raw score of 31 on academic reading.

  • The Knights Templar

    556 Words  | 2 Pages

    The story of the Knights Templar has been told many times. With exotic times and places with people of the highest ideals and bathed in mystery, a lot of the mystery of the Knights Templar comes from the lack of knowledge and writers playing around with the known facts. Templar history is really complex and not easily understood. There is mystery in how they formed, where they come from, their rise to power, why they fought in the crusade, what they did, their beliefs, how they fell from power, and where they went after their fall.

  • Another look at Robert E. Kelley’s “In Praise of Followers”

    2017 Words  | 5 Pages

    It seems self-evident that one cannot be a leader unless he or she has followers; put differently, one cannot hold a leadership role unless others are prepared to hold followership roles. These roles are more or less symbiotic - done effectively, each role can support and benefit the other. Nevertheless, the term “follower” has acquired a negative connotation, and leadership is generally considered to be the pinnacle to which we should all strive in our working lives, if not our personal lives as well. However, thanks to the work of authors such as Robert E. Kinney, who introduced the concept of followership, the characteristics, roles and paths of followers now receive increased attention. Kinney’s groundbreaking article, “In Praise of Followers”, appears along with the work of other authors on followership in The Leaders Companion.

  • The Only Lonely Panda Essay

    494 Words  | 1 Pages

    My first book was “The Only Lonely Panda” by Jonny Lambert. For the most part I followed the same format that I had planned for “If You Give a Moose a Muffin”. The group was smaller so we sat in a half moon shape with me in the front. Still keeping everything on their level. I started by asking the children about the cover and the pictures inside. We talked about pandas and who had seen pandas at the zoo. We also talked about how pandas eat bamboo and how they can be so big and eat leaves. Even though the group was smaller, I still double panned so all the students got a good look at the pictures. Throughout the story, I asked the student various questions about the different animal’s colors and why pandas would have a hard time dancing and

  • My Philosophy Of Reading And Writing Curriculum

    2147 Words  | 5 Pages

    While I believe every child is a reader, I do not believe every child will be enthralled with reading all the time. All students have the capability to read and enjoy reading, but just like any other hobby, interest will vary from student to student. The students in my classroom will be encouraged in their reading, be provided with choice, taught how books can take you into another world but, my students will not be forced to read. This paper will illustrate my philosophy of reading through the theories I relate to, the way I want to implement reading and writing curriculum, and the methods I will use motivate my students to read and help them become literate.

  • The Impact of Early Childhood Reading on Literacy Skills

    1148 Words  | 3 Pages

    The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) reported, “that children who were read to frequently are 77% more likely to read or pretend to read and 60% more likely to count to 20 than those who were not.” (National Education Association) This statistic is one of many that demonstrates an emphasis on the importance of parents reading to children at a young age. Not only is there a significant change in children who have parents read to them but there is also a change when schools push more “fun” reading. I think that as a child the factors around you, such as your parents and school, are crucial to the way you view and experience reading and writing.
