Why poor children are more likely to become poor readers: the early years by Jennifer Buckingham*, Robyn Beaman and Kevin Wheldall. In this literature, they discuss low socio-economic disadvantage and poor early literacy. “Children from disadvantaged families are less likely to have experiences that encourage the development of fundamental skills for reading acquisition, specifically phonological awareness, vocabulary and oral language.” “The relationship between socio-economic disadvantage and

After the Shanghai trip, I felt charged and refreshed ready to tackle the most important project in my life. While I buried myself in a deep pile of monographs related to quantum field theory and Dirac Theory, Ying, on the other hand, worked on a more practical front. After several months’ hard work, he was able to tie things together and ready to go on with the most critical stage in his program – to perform the experiment. “I hope my balance will push the measurement of the gravitational constant

Faced with an unfamiliar problem, Coach P, of the West Point Crew team, had a JV boat that was consistently outperforming the Varsity team on different measures. Upon preliminary analysis, it appears that the problem is simple: the selection of the varsity team was flawed and many of the athletes were misjudged and subsequently misplaced. However, the coach analyzed this possible flaw through seat races and even decided to demote varsity rowers to the JV team and JV rowers to the varsity team; the

For the past five years, I have been a proactive advocate for the safety, security, and the future of Israel. As a motivated young professional there is no opportunity I seek more than serving as a Goldman Bridge Fellow. I am interested in the mission of AJC because it will provide me an effective platform to build relationships with local leaders, diplomats, legislators, and other strategic allies. Moreover, I would love to contribute to AJC’s initiative of Muslim-Jewish engagement by acting as

1. Compared to Langston Hughes, how are e.e. cummings’s thoughts about dreams different? Langston Hughes and e.e. cumming’s both wrote a powerful poem about dreams, although they both have the same topic they appear to be different in meaning. I believe that in Hughes poem he was addressing that dreams are what makes you who you are, however in cummings poem it seemed like dreams allow you to be who you want to be. Langston Hughes wrote the poem, Dreams, to tell the reader to hold onto your dreams

Symbolism was very present in Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour.” Chopin was able to symbolize the locked room to Mrs. Mallard’s trapped marriage, and also the open window to the freedom that she had gained after her husband’s death. Chopin was able to help the readers visualize the word “freedom” by comparing it to the window that had been opened before Mrs. Mallard came into the room. The locked room was a comparison to her marriage which helped the readers get a sense of what marriage felt like

Loss of Innocence in Cullen's Incident and Naylor’s Mommy, What Does "Nigger" Mean?   Unfortunately, a question that many African Americans have to ask in childhood is "Mommy, what does nigger mean?," and the answer to this question depicts the racism that still thrives in America (345). Both Gloria Naylor’s "'Mommy, What Does "Nigger" Mean?'" and Countee Cullen's "Incident" demonstrate how a word like "nigger" destroys a child’s innocence and initiates the child into a world of racism.  Though

letter and the backgrounds of the people evolved and tell the story based on my research. So we begin with the letter. It looks pretty old and handwriting by Robert Hooke

Time and again, when referring to a historical background of a topic in science or math, we have been exposed to only a handful of key figures and even fewer notable events without any social or cultural context behind it. Such details are often overlooked and taught without the perspective of the era and why it occurred at the time. There maybe several reasons for such dismissal. Within the STEAM subjects, especially science and mathematics, the content strives to be empirical and concrete without
