Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book illustrates methods of teaching language to young children to develop the correct use of the English language in written or spoken forms. It focuses on the development of vocabulary and the ideas represented by words, rather than learning reading or spelling as standalone skills. This system was developed due to the author identifying that children need to develop ideas in their minds before they can express them and that teaching words in isolation does not assist with developing a strong command of language. The author suggests beginning with everyday life objects and talking with and encouraging children to talk about familiar objects and actions. Expanding their vocabulary is key, and this text provides methods to strengthen this naturally, such as through object lessons and developing idioms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

A nicely preserved small grouping of printed souvenirs documenting the expansion of Hawaiian tourism in the 1920s, largely sponsored by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Los Angeles Steamship Company. By 1928, Hawaii, and the city of Honolulu were seeing approximately 20,000 tourist visitors a year, and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel was also encouraging increased tourism, and use of their beaches on Waikiki, as well as tourist visitors to other islands. The Hawaii Tourist Bureau, successor to the Hawaii Promotion Bureau sponsored a beautification project in Honolulu, encouraged development along Waikiki Beach, development of gold courses, expansion of ocean liner piers, and much more to drive tourism. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Los Angeles Steamship company were heavily involved in these efforts, often by recruiting the Who's Who of southern California, including the Bullock's, Eastman's, Jungmeyer's, MacDonald's, and others, such as Hilario Moncado, editor and publisher of Filipino Nation. The Hawaii Trade Bulletin is quite scarce and details the big island of Hawaii, with descriptions of Hilo, Hamakua, Kohala, Kona, Hawaii National Park and Puna, with business listings, map, and mentions of Kona coffee. Shipboard activities onboard the S.S. City of Honolulu included a bridge tournament, shuffleboard, tennis, and masquerade ball. The dinner menu listed nuts, caviar, sardines, Columbia River Salmon, sea food patties, and Hawaiian Salad.…
