Want to know more? Why is SSP so successful?
Explicit instruction of phonemic awareness led to improvements in multiple areas of reading, including phonemic awareness, oral reading, and spelling (Byrne & Fielding-Barnsley, 1991, 1993, 1995, 2000). When combined with letter-sound correspondence, teaching phonemic awareness was more effective in improving reading ability (Hatcher, Hulme, & Ellis, 1994; Neuman & Dickinson, 2003; Schneider, Roth, & Ennemoser, 2000). Phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency contribute to the development of automatic word identification include (Fox, 2007; Metsala & Ehri, 1998; Strickland, 2001). Research has identified phonemic awareness as the most potent predictor of success in learning to read. It is more highly related to reading than tests of general intelligence, reading readiness, and listening comprehension (Stanovich, 1986,1994). The lack of phonemic awareness is the most powerful determinant of the likelihood of failure to learn to read because of its importance in learning the English alphabetic system or how print represents spoken words. If children cannot hear and manipulate the sounds in spoken words, they have an extremely difficult time learning how to map those sounds to letters and letter patterns - the essence of decoding. (Adams, 1990). It is the most important core and causal factor separating normal and disabled readers (Adams, 1990). It is central in learning to read and spell (Ehri, 1984).
The document discusses singular and plural nouns. It explains that most nouns become plural by adding -s, but nouns ending in ch, x, s, sh, or sounds add -es. Some nouns have irregular plural forms. Nouns may also be count nouns, which can be pluralized, or non-count nouns, which generally cannot be. Possessive nouns are formed by adding an apostrophe and -s to show ownership.
The document provides examples of regular and irregular plural forms in English. It discusses how regular plurals are formed by adding -s, -es, or changing the spelling pattern depending on if the word ends in a consonant, vowel, y, or f. It also lists some common irregular plural forms such as children, women, feet, and mice that do not follow typical pluralization rules. The document aims to explain English pluralization patterns to learners of the language.
The document provides a lesson on punctuation marks. It defines common punctuation marks such as periods, question marks, exclamation points, apostrophes, commas, parentheses, quotation marks, colons, and semicolons. Examples are given for the proper use of each punctuation mark in sentences. At the end, the class corrects punctuation errors from the beginning of the lesson.
The document discusses parts of speech, specifically nouns. It defines nouns and the different types of nouns including common nouns, proper nouns, collective nouns, abstract nouns, concrete nouns, countable nouns, and mass nouns. Rules for forming plural nouns and cases of nouns are also explained.
This document provides an overview of English grammar topics including:
- Present simple tense used to describe habits and repeated actions
- "Do verbs" like drink, eat, play and their past forms
- Formation of the third person singular form with -s, -es, -ies
- Plural nouns typically formed by adding -s
It also includes lists of vocabulary like numbers, days, greetings and an example presentation for self-introductions. The document appears to be notes for an English grammar guide covering basic topics for beginning learners.
This document provides information on plural nouns, adjectives, parts of the body, the verb "to be", and the phrases "there is/are". It gives examples of how to make nouns plural by adding "s", "es", or changing the spelling. It also provides examples of adjectives and body parts. The uses of the verb "to be" in affirmative and negative forms are illustrated. Finally, it explains that "there is" is used for singular nouns while "there are" is used for plural nouns.
This document discusses the different types of articles and determiners in English and how they are used. It covers indefinite articles like "a" and "an", definite articles like "the", quantifiers like "some" and "many", and plural vs. singular forms. Some key points covered include:
- The uses of "a/an" with singular countable nouns and "the" with both singular and plural/uncountable nouns.
- Quantifiers like "some", "many", "much" are used with plural/uncountable nouns while "a/an" is used with singular countable nouns.
- The differences between similar words like "all/
1. Nouns can be singular or plural. Singular nouns refer to one person, place, or thing, while plural nouns refer to more than one.
2. Most nouns form their plural by adding -s. However, some take -es if they end in ch, sh, s, x or o. Others take -ies if they end in y.
3. There are also irregular plural nouns that have completely different plural forms like children, teeth, and mice. Some nouns stay the same in both singular and plural forms.
The document discusses parallelism and how to use it effectively in writing. Parallelism emphasizes relationships between equivalent ideas by presenting corresponding elements, such as items in a list or series, in a matching grammatical form. It adds unity, balance and clarity. Faulty parallelism creates awkward sentences that obscure meaning. The document provides examples of parallel and non-parallel constructions and guidelines for revising sentences to improve parallelism.
This document discusses parallelism and provides examples of its effective use. Parallelism involves using matching words, phrases, clauses, or sentences to express equivalent ideas. It adds unity, balance and force to writing. The document outlines three key ways to use parallelism: 1) with items in a series, 2) with paired items, and 3) in lists. It also provides examples of faulty parallelism and how to revise sentences to improve parallel structure. The overall purpose is to explain parallelism and how to use it properly for clear, emphatic writing.
The document discusses language features that can make communication in meetings more effective. Some key points include:
- Using tentative language like "would", "could", or "might" instead of definitive statements.
- Presenting suggestions as questions rather than statements to sound more open.
- Adding "n't" to make suggestions more negotiable.
- Using stress and qualifiers to soften messages and make positions more flexible.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
