Now in its third edition, this multicultural reader has changed to suit current concerns about Canadian cultural and social diversity. New topics include gender, borders and displacement. Organized thematically, students will find poetry, fiction and non-fiction that speak to current issues and concerns. A rhetorical table of contents also demonstrates rhetorical modes and concepts.

In this new edition of their groundbreaking book Strategies That Work, Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis share the work and thinking they've done since the second edition came out a decade ago and offer new perspectives on how to explicitly teach thinking strategies so that students become engaged, thoughtful, independent readers. Thirty new lessons and new and revised chapters shine a light on children's thinking, curiosity, and questions. Steph and Anne tackle close reading, close listening, text complexity, and critical thinking in a new chapter on building knowledge through thinking-intensive reading and learning. Other fully revised chapters focus on digital reading, strategies for integrating comprehension and technology, and comprehension across the curriculum. The new edition is organized around three sections: Part I provides readers with a solid introduction to reading comprehension instruction, including the principles that guide practice, suggestions for text selection, and a review of recent research that underlies comprehension instruction. Part II contains lessons to put these principles into practice for all areas of reading comprehension. Part III shows you how to integrate comprehension instruction across the curriculum and the school day, particularly in science and social studies. Updated bibliographies, including the popular "Great Books for Teaching Content," are accessible online. Since the first publication of Strategies That Work, more than a million teachers have benefited from Steph and Anne's practical advice on creating classrooms that are incubators for deep thought. This third edition is a must-have resource for a generation of new teachers--and a welcome refresher for those with dog-eared copies of this timeless guide to teaching comprehension.

"Prime Minister Superstar--and a politician who definitely has inhaled--Justin Trudeau made history by signing legislation that will legalize marijuana in Canada. Now that's something to toke about! In celebration, Canadabis brings all things cannabis to Canada as it's a fun, irreverent reference for everyone's favorite (soon-to-be) legal drug. It's the perfect book to pop open and read for a smoke and a joke with tons of entertaining information. Whether it's strains specific to the Great White North or the best munchie ideas from Timmies to poutine, there's a lot to learn about Canada and cannabis in Canadabis."--

Excerpt from The Canadian Reader: Designed for the Use of Schools and Families By emphasis is meant a stronger and fuller sound of voice, by which we distinguish some word or words to which we wish to attach a particular importance. Ou the right management of emphasis depends the lite of pronunciation. If no emphasis is placed on any words, not only is discourse rendered heavy and lifeless, but the meaning left often ambiguous. If the emphasis is placed wrong, we pervert and confound the meaning wholly. In order to acquire the proper management of emphasis, the great rule to be given is, that the reader study to at tain a Just conception of the force and spirit of the senti ments, which he is to pronounce. To lay the emphasis right is a constant exercise of good taste and judgment. But care must be taken not to multiply emphatical words too much, and to use the emphasis indiscriminately. To crowd every sentence with emphatical words, is like crowding all the pages of a book with italic characters; which, as to the efl'ect, is just the same as to use no such distinctions at all.
