Book Description
One line straight down. One line to the right. One line to the left, then a circle. That was all—just three lines in a circle. This bold picture book tells the story of the peace symbol—designed in 1958 by a London activist protesting nuclear weapons—and how it inspired people all over the world. Depicting the symbol's travels from peace marches and liberation movements to the end of apartheid and the fall of the Berlin Wall, Three Lines in a Circle offers a message of inspiration to today's children and adults who are working to create social change. An author’s note provides historical background and a time line of late twentieth-century peace movements.

Book Description
As a result of the America Reads Challenge Act of 1997, numerous tutoring programs have been established to help ensure that every child reads independently by the end of third grade. Utilizing trained volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, these programs mobilize the resources of universities, public schools, parents, and community agencies. This invaluable book describes exemplary America Reads programs across the country as well as other effective early literacy interventions, including Reading Recovery, the Howard Street Tutoring Project, and Book Buddies. Also presented are timely research studies that offer insight into the tutoring process and its effectiveness. Providing useful program planning information and training protocols, the book facilitates the productive sharing of ideas among professionals who are initiating new tutoring programs or refining existing ones.
