Uncovering the Logic of English: A Common-Sense Approach to Reading, Spelling, and Literacy

Uncovering the Logic of English: A Common-Sense Approach to Reading, Spelling, and Literacy

Author: Denise Eide
Genres: Contemporary, Education, Non-Fiction
Tags: #89, #89 - Scholé Every Day, Brandy Vencel, Renee Shepard

Discover this revolutionary method that Dr. Temple Grandin called "really helpful for teaching reading to children who are mathematical pattern thinkers..."

Predominant reading methods require students to break the complex code of English without help. This has resulted in low literacy rates and explains why many highly educated professionals cannot spell. By revealing the logical patterns underlying 98% of English words, Uncovering the Logic of English eliminates the need to guess and provides a logical solution to English spelling.

Simple answers are given for questions such as:

  • Why is there a silent final E in have?
  • Why don't we drop the E in noticeable?
  • Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?

As the rules unfold it becomes apparent how this knowledge is vital to reversing the educational crisis that is plaguing America. This slim volume is easy to read and accessible to parents and classroom teachers. A thorough appendix summarizes the most important concepts for quick reference.

In the Vineyard of the Text: A Commentary to Hugh’s Didascalicon

In the Vineyard of the Text: A Commentary to Hugh’s Didascalicon

Author: Ivan Illich
Genres: Contemporary, Education, Non-Fiction
Tags: #89, #89 - Scholé Every Day, Mystie Winckler

In a work with profound implications for the electronic age, Ivan Illich explores how revolutions in technology affect the way we read and understand text.

Examining the Didascalicon of Hugh of St. Victor, Illich celebrates the culture of the book from the twelfth century to the present. Hugh's work, at once an encyclopedia and guide to the art of reading, reveals a twelfth-century revolution as sweeping as that brought about by the invention of the printing press and equal in magnitude only to the changes of the computer age—the transition from reading as a vocal activity done in the monastery to reading as a predominantly silent activity performed by and for individuals.

The Origins of Totalitarianism

The Origins of Totalitarianism

Author: Hannah Arendt
Genres: Economics, Philosophical
Tags: #89, #89 - Scholé Every Day, Brandy Vencel

The Origins of Totalitarianism begins with the rise of anti-Semitism in central and western Europe in the 1800s and continues with an examination of European colonial imperialism from 1884 to the outbreak of World War I. Arendt explores the institutions and operations of totalitarian movements, focusing on the two genuine forms of totalitarian government in our time—Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia—which she adroitly recognizes were two sides of the same coin, rather than opposing philosophies of Right and Left. From this vantage point, she discusses the evolution of classes into masses, the role of propaganda in dealing with the nontotalitarian world, the use of terror, and the nature of isolation and loneliness as preconditions for total domination.
