Free ebook: “Four Stories for Spring” by Ellen Robena Field

Dear friends and followers of the Grammaticus blog,

With the arrival of spring, it’s time for another quarterly ebook from the Grammaticus Free Library series: “Four Stories for Spring.” 

The author of these stories is Ellen Robena Field (1869–1957), a children’s writer and educator from Bangor, Maine. Nowadays sadly overlooked, she is best known for her collection of short stories “Buttercup Gold and Other Stories”, originally published by the Bangor Kindergarten Association in 1894.

The ebook here available contains four spring-themed stories from that collection, with the accompanying vocabulary notes and illustrations designed primarily for English language learners (levels B1 and above).

To download your PDF copy, click on the link below. To browse all the previous Grammaticus Free Library titles, visit the Library section of this website.

🤔 Oh, Chester Lam! 🎉 Thank you for enlightening us on the groundbreaking revelation that Intel’s Arc does, in fact, not defy basic geometry. A stunning exposé on how reading comprehension is still a crucial skill for tech journalists! 📚🤦‍♂️

[P] So...

News: Assassin's Creed: Shadows has leaked physical copies early, they've been seen on sale at retail outlets and warehouses.
Resounding Response from Gamers: The pirates win AGAIN. SIGH. Stupid pirates always getting to play before paying customers!

Errrr... about that.

Ah yes. The solution to any math problem appears to be to read the part of the sentence you skipped over the first time.

It was right there! Right there!

The value of the thing observed has been behind the sofa the entire time.

I’m observing you now, y. I see you.

#Math #ReadingComprehension #TheyreTheSamePicture

This morning, I've read about impaired reading comprehension in autistic people.

It seems that we tend to monitor our reading comprehension to a less extent than NT peers. We do seem to catch spelling errors but semantic violations in the sentence may go unnoticed. (1)

Furthermore, we don't change our reading style enough to suit different task demands. Instead, we tend to read similarly for entertainment and study purposes. (2)

This all resonates with me and is a bit unnerving. The good news is that these skills can be taught. However, right now I feel like I've gone too long with these impairments I haven't noticed to actually learn new skills.

I had so much trouble parsing this subject line.

Like, why is the ABC sending me emails about a person whose username is Jerky Sales expressing their approval of a social media item entitled ‘flowers for men’

#ReadingComprehension #TooEarly

An email from ABC Rural (ABC is he Australian public channel, rural is the focus of this newsletter). Subject line: Jerky sales like ‘flowers for men’.

Didn't quite realized I had volunteered to chair the thing I agreed to do, but there it is, in the middle of the fourth paragraph of the email from April. Sigh. Looks like the next two weeks just got busier #ProfLife #ReadingComprehension #PastMeWasAnIdiotAndImNotSoSureAboutPresentMe

To be locked INTO the is to mock the difficulty of - to mock and belittle the complexity of even 90 years ago. To be arrogant that is proof of comprehension - when really the brain exploits of the human mind are almost always self-deception, self-destructive in outcome.

Joyce DOES stand the test of time, as does 1968++ book by - and to belittle how difficult those understandings can be is

“If Sasha needs 10 minutes to saw through a wooden plank twice, how long does it take Sasha to saw the plank into 3 pieces (assume everything else stays the same)?”
#learnmath #mathskills

The purpose of a question like that is not to test your skill at calculating. Instead, it tests your reading abilities:
- can you grasp the language?
- did you fall for the trick question?
- do you understand how the trick works, so you can avoid falling for it next time?

#readingcomprehension matters.

@vormrodo@social.tchncs.de Can you people get some #readingcomprehension please.

I never said anything about preventing
#Tor users from accessing Mastodon. Not even logging-in to their account (so they can sign-up from a "clearnet" IP and then login via Tor afterwards, just like how it's done in #liberachat #IRC). All I'm saying is, if your instance has open registrations without any form of manual vetting or approval before activating the account, then you should prevent #Tor users from just being able to register an account in your instance so your instance isn't just an easy target for spammers to use.

And yes, block the
#VPN users too from registering an account. That's what #Misskey's flagship instance at misskey.io already do to prevent non-Japanese users from creating an account there.

Read-only, not 403'ing everything.

Long shot here. Could anyone point me to research showing that we *believe* we read better than we actually do?

(IE thinking that we are grasping the full meaning or context we aren't, perhaps between we read faster on screens and skim more.)

I’m sure I’ve read about this, but now I need a reference, it escapes me.

I don’t think Maryanne Wolf mentioned this specifically in “Reader, Come Home”.

Patricia Alexander found that students incorrectly judged their comprehension as better online than in print. But that’s not quite the same as thinking their overall reading comprehension is better than it is.

Any leads would be great, or if you feel like giving this a boost to help spread the net, I’d appreciate it.
