The Day of the Pelican 鹈鹕的一天
（By: Katherine Paterson）
´Reading The Day of the Pelican will help the reader see how war disrupts peacefulpeople’s lives. It’s sometimes easier to distance oneself from a war if it’shalfway around the world. We think in terms of numbers rather than individualsand families, and believe that there is nothing we could possibly do to help.But Katherine Paterson’s book puts a face on one such family, and demonstratesthat we can begin to help by changing our attitudes at home.(160 pages)
´阅读《鹈鹕的一天》将帮助我们了解到战争是如何破坏人们平静的生活的。如果在世界的另一端，我们人想远离战争有时候会更容易些。就数字而非个人和家庭而言，我们觉得无能为力。但是凯瑟琳·佩特森的书，描述了这样一个家庭，并表明我们可以从在家里的态度来帮助改变世界。
´This story focuses on the Lleshis, an Albanian familyliving in Kosovo, a country trying to fight off Serbian oppressors. The family suddenly finds they are homelessrefugees. Old and young alike, they find their courage tested by hunger,illness, a long, arduous journey, and danger on every side. Then,unexpectedly, they are brought to America by a church group and begin a newlife in a small Vermont town. The events of 9/11 bring more challenges for this Muslimfamily--but this country is their home now and there can be no turningback. This is truly a compassionate,powerful novel told by an extremely talented storyteller.
´这个故事聚焦在一个阿尔巴尼亚家庭上，他们居住在科索沃这样一个试图摆脱塞尔维亚压迫者的国家。他们突然发现他们是无家可归的难民。老人和年轻人一样，他们发现他们的勇气被饥饿，疾病，长期艰苦的旅程，以及无时不在的危险考验着。 然后，出乎意料的是，他们被一个教会组织带到美国，在佛蒙特州小镇，开始了新的生活。9 / 11事件给穆斯林家庭带来的更为严峻的挑战，但这个国家现在是他们的家了，不会再像过去那样了。这是一个真正慈悲和强大的小说，作者极具才华。

Sent to the royalcourt to show the king’s emissary some new pottery, Tree-ear makes a longjourney filled with disaster and learns what it means to have true courage.This quiet story is rich in the details of life in Korea during this period. Inaddition it gives a full picture of the painstaking process needed to produceceladon pottery. However, what truly stands out are the characters: the grumpyperfectionist Min; his kind wife; wise Crane-man; and most of all, Tree-ear,whose determination and lively intelligence result in good fortune.” —Barbara Scotto, School Library Journal, starred review.(152 pages)
´“在这个充满勇气和奉献精神的故事中，一个青瓷花瓶碎片改变了一个小男孩和他师父的生活。在12世纪的韩国, 一个以陶瓷闻名的村庄，孤儿树耳每天为自己和鹤人觅食。鹤人是一位照顾他多年的坡脚稻草编织工。因为他的闲逛,树耳熟悉所有村里的陶艺家,但他特别被一位叫闵的陶艺家吸引。当他打碎了一只闵做好陶瓷后,树耳开始为他工作来偿还债务。债务还清后,因为他渴望学会自己创造出美丽的瓷器，所以继续那工作。为了想让国王使者将一些新的瓷器发送到宫廷，树耳开始一场充满灾难长途旅行，并懂得了真正勇气的含义。这个安静的故事，将韩国此间的生活细节展现得淋漓尽致。此外,它提供了一套完整的、生产青瓷陶器的艰苦过程。然而,真正突出的是人物性格：脾气暴躁的完美主义者闵;他善良的妻子;聪明的鹤人;最重要的是,树耳的决心和生动的智慧给他带来好运。´ ——芭芭拉斯哥图,学校图书馆杂志,荣誉审查。

6.Phonics自然拼读基础强化课，帮孩子打开自由阅读的大门！
主讲老师：Valerie Coates
自然拼读法是国际上最为推崇的英语教学法，也是美国儿童语言启蒙所采用的方法，它将英语的26个字母的常规读音以及字母组合的常规读音归纳为44个音素，各因素组合成不同的发音。通过自然拼音的学习，可以建立起单词与发音之间的直觉音感，即看到单词可以反应出发音；看到发音，也可直觉反应出单词的拼写。
Phonics 是针对儿童学习特点，适合儿童学习英语语音的注音系统。在掌握了phonics 后，孩子的认字能力会大大提高，能够进行自由阅读。
Introduction 课程简介
Is your child still experiencing difficulty reading? Help them crack the code using advance phonics. Your child will learn to combine sound combinations for the short and long vowels for a, e, i, o, and u along with other special phonics sounds. Your child should possess the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate phonemes. Help your child crack the code with this phonics class!!!
还在烦恼着孩子的阅读障碍吗？自然拼读法将是最好的秘籍！本课中，您的孩子将会学习如何组合各种长短音，元音及特殊音素的发声。他们需要掌握听说，识别和灵活处理音素的能力。快来学习自然拼读法吧！
解读phonics自然拼读
从听说扩展成阅读（见词就能读）→有听说能力基础的孩子学习 Phonics 后， 他们可以很快就进入到阅读阶段。 虽然很多常用的单词不认识， 没见过， 但都能听懂。 一旦能念出来， 他们就能明白这个词的意思， 也知道怎么用。 因为这些单词在先期的听说训练时期， 已经成为孩子的听力词汇量了。现在可以拼读出来， 孩子就认识这个单词了。 这个单词就进入孩子的阅读词汇量了。
孩子学汉语拼音和英语自然拼音的意义
不论东方还是西方，孩子学母语，都要学拼音。学拼音，最主要的意义，不是解决听说，而是解决阅读。拼音，帮助孩子在阅读时，把视觉印象和听觉印象，结合起来。孩子阅读的时候，如果很多字词都不会念，那么书也读不下去。换言之，发音是阅读的基础。
Phonics 与阅读能力
是阅读必备的技能。依靠 Phonics 技能进行大量阅读，进而扩大 Vocabulary(词汇量) 和提高 Fluency(阅读流利性)， 最后提高 Comprehension(阅读理解能力)。这几个部分的有机结合形成了一个人的阅读能力。
Phonics是科学阅读技能
Phonics 是背单词的方法之一，但绝不是为背单词而 服务的。作为一种学习阅读的方法和技能，Phonics 能在阅读中得到训练和提高。
学习 Phonics的前提
学习phonics 之前，孩子需要学会26个字母。知道每个字母所代表的发音。之后学习 phonics 语音体系，熟悉26个字母和字母组合的基本发音。
