Can You Make Kids Love Books?

listener_new_rect

When it comes to coaxing an unbookish child to read, the genius of a great teacher lies not in lesson plans but in chemistry, in matching the right source book with the right kid. Thats what my second-grade teacher Mrs. Belden (may her name be praised!), did when she handed me a copy of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, thereby making a lifelong reader out of me. Contemporary parents, however, can inject so much anxiety into the issue of their kids reading that even the simple act of handing a child a book becomes too overwrought to do any good. In such cases, cooler, wiser heads i.e., childrens booksellers can be called in. Josie Leavitt, a bookseller and blogger for Publishers Weekly, recently wrote of a 13-year-old girl whose mother practically cried about her frustrations with not getting her interested in any book no matter how hard she tried. After quizzing the mom a bit review about her daughters interests, Leavitt suggested The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han. But as important as the choice of title was how Leavitt recommended introducing the book. Just leave this on the coffee table and say nothing, she told the woman, because if a parent wants a child to read, then they should not push a book on the child. Let the child discover the book for herself. (A friend informs me that among home schoolers this practice is called strewing.) Part of the glory of reading is the freedom it offers: to step into other lives, to explore faraway worlds and to embark on outlandish adventures.

How Women Will Dominate The Workplace Bric By Bric

The economic, political and social trends in BRICS economies suggest that these nations will become world leaders in gender equality, writes Zahidi.

Will we see a world where these countries become world leaders on gender equality in the economy? The economic, political and social trends we are witnessing suggest this may be the case.

Fast-growth companies are much more likely to change the gender ratio than slow-growth ones: they’re simply less beholden to the traditional hierarchies of today’s Fortune 500 companies and, frankly, cannot afford to discriminate as they scale up fast. While the rich world date is trying to figure out how to create a more http://finance.woai.com/inergize.woai/news/read/26075459/ women-friendly culture in business, these countries are growing their own corporate cultures organically.

Muslim Women Challenge American Mosques: ‘now Is The Time’

Sometimes that means subpar women’s prayer spaces, a lack of leadership roles or little programming relevant to women. For Edina Lekovic, a recent visit to a mosque meant being asked to use a separate entrance from the one men go use. Lekovic works for the Muslim Public Affairs Council and sits on a regional Islamic advisory board in Southern California. She goes to mosques a lot for meetings and Friday prayers. “I was walking towards the front door only to be told by a boy of no more than 12 years old he pointed to the side of the building and said, ‘Oh, the sisters’ entrance is over there,’ ” she says. Lekovic is religious: She covers her hair and doesn’t mind praying separately from men as is Islamic custom.

How Nobel-winning Economic Theories Can Help Your Online Dating

Objective data show that men lie on dating sites about their home income and their height while women under-report their age and weight. Anecdotally, I can tell you that many women whose profiles promise they are fun, optimistic, and athletic and toned are either liars or delusional. (As to what they might say about the accuracy of my own profile, I can only speculate.) What does that have to do with economics? Economists think lying, or cheap talk, is just a rational way to influence others. Smart consumers should discount peoples statements on dating profiles because we all feel some pressure to be less than truthful ourselves. A few dating sites abroad have started verifying information about height, income, and other objective claims. But what can you do if you cant use such a site? What you ideally want online dating to do is prove that you are rich (or whatever characteristic you want to highlight) by incurring some cost that those who do not have that trait would not be willing to incur.
