Teaching A Struggling Reader: One Mom's Experience with Dyslexia/a Dyslexic Learner (DOG ON A LOG Books Book 1)
There are a lot of children (and adults) who struggle with reading. Some are helped by their schools, some are not.
In this short booklet, Pamela Brookes shares some of the basic information she wishes she'd had when she was first trying to figure out how to help her child learn to read.
Teaching A Struggling Reader is filled with links to informational and product resources for parents or teachers. It is geared to people who want to educate themselves in the methods that are effective in teaching those with a dyslexic learning style. It also contains photos demonstrating basic techniques like "Tapping" (using one's fingers to aid in sounding out words) and "Making your bed" to differentiate between "b" and "d."
The focus of this book is the reading process. However, since many dyslexic readers also struggle with math, there is a brief description of how the dyslexic brain comes to understand math. There is also a link to a blog by Dr. Meg Burke of Dyslexia Pros. She is a dyslexic learner with a PhD in math education who is dedicated to helping her students attain fluency in math.
This is a booklet that can be read in one sitting. However, there are ample links to provide an even greater experience.

Why Doesn't God Speak to Me? (Believers' Boot Camp Book 1)
Why Doesn't God Speak to Me? Eager hearts cry out, hoping for a single word to confirm that He hears us. Yet, many times the only sound is silence. Over the years people have given me several reasons why God speaks to some and not to others. One night, as I tossed and turned, I brought each of these reasons before the Lord, stating why each of them did not line up with who I thought He was.
Words rose from my soul, pleading for Him to reveal why He has remained silent when a single word from Him would mean so much to so many. For the next few hours, God used things I learned about years ago and things I had just discovered to show why He talks to some in demonstrative ways and why He doesn't speak at all to others. In His grace, He also showed me how people could hear more from Him. I have included these basic instructions on how to hear more from God and how to be led by Him in this book. Thank you for taking time to consider the answers I received and share with you now.

Comparative Mythology (E-Singles)
Joseph Campbell taught Mythology to students at Sarah Lawrence College, just north of New York City, for thirty-eight years. Late in his tenure, he made a proposal to use his introductory course as the basis for the then-new field of cross-cultural studies. The proposal gives a wonderful glimpse into Campbell's pedagogical philosophy, but also into his approach to his chosen field. Included is one of the most-requested downloads from the Joseph Campbell Foundation's website: the reading list that Campbell used in that Introduction to Mythology course. These pieces, along with nine other essays ranging in subject from the numerology implicit in the Goddess mythologies to the erotic irony of modern novelist Thomas Mann, is included in the collection The Mythic Dimension. This volume was reissued in 2008 by New World Library as part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series; this article is being published in electronic form by the Joseph Campbell Foundation.
Note: Not the complete text of The Mythic Dimension--just the two articles described above.

What is Unschooling?: Living and Learning without School
Children are born curious, creative, and wired to learn--and we value those traits in adults! So why, as our children grow up, do we often insist they change to fit into the education system, where curiosity is replaced by curricula, creativity by conformity, and learning by memorizing?
If you'd rather nurture your children's curiosity, creativity, and love of learning, let me introduce you to the world of unschooling.
In this short book, we'll explore some of the most common questions people have when they first hear about unschooling:
What is unschooling? How will my child learn? Without a curriculum, what will they learn? How do I know they're learning? Will unschooling work for my child? But what if my child already has trouble at school? What is deschooling? How do I get started?
Life in the real world is much bigger and more exciting than a school can contain within its four walls. If you're ready to embrace life and eager to share its wonder with your children, unschooling might be for you!

UK Medical School Starter Pack: Plan Your Successful Medical School Application Journey With Us! (Medefine Education LP Book 1)
Our aim is to widen access to UK medical schools by providing high quality evidence based information, and medical school application mentoring for international students.
This starter pack represents an introduction to each of the seven steps of the application process. Medical students, junior doctors, consultants, and professors share their top tips throughout this interactive workbook to give you a competitive advantage.
This guide can be used as an e-book as well as a printed version. Whenever you struggle, remember that you're not going through this own your own - you have a team, a family of more than 250 medical students and doctors from all over the UK who are prepared to answer all your questions and motivate you to keep pushing forward.
About Medefine Education:
We are a group of medical students from all over the UK with a passion for medical education aiming to inspire the next generation of medical students. Our aim is to widen access to UK Medical Schools by providing high quality evidence based information and medical school application coaching for students.
We are fortunate to have an amazing team made of international medical students representing almost all 34 UK Medical Schools. They have been in the same situation as you in the past and are now willing to pass on their best tips to help you succeed!
Why?
Our passion was born from the frustration that high quality medical school applicants are unsuccessful due to lack of relevant information. Some applicants have never visited the UK and only come here for an interview not knowing what to expect. How much should I know about the UK laws? How about the current affairs of the National Health System? These are some of the most common questions we have encountered along the years from previous applicants.
Due to the fierce competition for admission, it has never been more important to get a competitive advantage. Think about it, who else can help you achieve this if not other medical students who have been in the same position as you, or even more, who may come from the same country as you?
What do we want from you?
All we want from you is enthusiasm and commitment. The harsh truth is that the medical school application process is full of hurdles and can be overwhelming at times. Together we can easily overcome these hurdles and we can make sure you achieve the best result with your application that you can.
What's in it for us?
We are a non-profit organisation and all profits rose through charity events or external donations are being used to create further resources and to host events. Our ultimate goal is developing an online tutoring platform to connect medical students and international applicants from all over the world!

Cakes and Butterflies – A Story about Learning Five Times Tables (The Numberland Tales - Help with Times Tables and Multiplication for Children Book 2)
Story Length approx 3500 words
Suitable for young children, and older children with learning difficulties.
The Numberland Tales is a series of stories featuring a boy called Danny Starbright who has difficulty with multiplication. He has some exciting, and sometimes amusing adventures, during the course of which, he learns how multiplication works, and so finally understands and learns the times tables.
The stories are appropriate to the age at which children learn a particular times table, and suitable for their reading age.
Cakes and Butterflies is the second of the series in which, aided by a funny old man, several bright butterflies, and some exotic multiplying cup cakes, Danny has an exciting and amusing adventure, during which he learns the five times table without actually having to try.
Numbers are abstract and can be difficult for some children, but by using stories with strong visual images, a visual connection to the numbers is made that children can more easily remember. The right brain hemisphere processes the visual images, whilst the left brain processes the more abstract language and numbers, and by connecting the two, children can more easily take the tables on board.
That's the theory, but let's not forget the fun element. These stories are truly engaging and Cakes and Butterflies is a delightful tale in its own right that children will enjoy hearing even when they know the five times table backwards.
The Numberland Tales have been used by teachers, parents, and home educators the world over, to entertain and help their children to understand the principles and usefulness of learning to multiply.
Cakes and Butterflies is the first part of a two part adventure. In this, the first part, Danny learns the five times table. In the second part, The Tentown Adventure, Danny learns the ten times table, and a whole lot more about how useful multiplication can be.
And the title is deliberately nothing to do with numbers or multiplication - this is a story that happens to be about tables
"I am a homeschooling mom of 3 (ages 8,9 and 10), and I found your stories on the internet after much searching for a way to help my 9-year-old daughter learn multiplication. She just didn't "get it" until we started reading your stories. She and her younger brother love them. It makes learning times tables fun. So, a big, gigantic thank you from me and my kids."

The Archaeology of Human Ancestry: Power, Sex and Tradition (Theoretical Archaeology Group)
Human social life is constrained and defined by our cognitive and emotional dispositions, which are the legacy of our foraging ancestors. But how difficult is it to reconstruct the social systems and cultural traditions of those ancestors? The text provides an answer, in which archaeologists and biological anthropologists set out and demonstrate their reconstructive methods. Contributors use observations of primates and modern hunter-gatherers to illuminate the fossil and artefactual records. Thematic treatment covers the evolution of group size; group composition and the emotional structure of social bonds; sexual dimorphism and the sexual division of labour; and the origins of human cultural traditions. This book should be a useful introduction to the subject for advanced undergraduates and researchers in archaeology and biological anthropology. It can also be used by workers in psychology, sociology and feminist studies as a resource for understanding human social origins.
