Parents can help their children learn to read. The effectiveness of parents’ help, however, varies according to the type of parent-child activities. Educators, when deciding which type of intervention to implement, will have to weigh the differences in effectiveness across the different types of intervention against the amount of resources needed to implement the interventions. The information in this book comes from many research studies that examined early literacy development. This book contains a summary of what scientific research says about how children learn to read and write, and also discusses the things you can do with your child at different grade levels to help him become a reader. What to look for in quality day-care centres and pre-schools to help your children become readers is examined as well.

Free Download Adrik D. Sidorov, "Apolipoproteins: Regulatory Functions, Health Effects and Role in Disease "
English | ISBN: 1622574842 | 2013 | 154 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Apolipoproteins are proteins that bind lipids (oil-soluble substances such as fat and cholesterol) to form lipoproteins. They transport the lipids through the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Apolipoproteins also serve as enzyme cofactors, receptor ligands, and lipid transfer carriers that regulate the metabolism of lipoproteins and their uptake in tissues. In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the regulatory functions, health effects and role in disease of apolipoproteins. Topics include macrophages, apolipoproteins, steroid hormones and molecular mechanisms of cell proliferation; formation of discoidal apolipoprotein A-1 lipid bound complexes; the role of apolipoprotein E in cardiovascular and renal disease; the functional variants and mutations of the apolipoprotein A5 gene in human pathology; and regulation of FGF-1 of ApoE/HDL generation in astrocytes.
