Summary: Everyone know the important of reading. Especially for child.
Teachers and parents both want to know how to help child to become good
readers or even life-long readers.
Body: Reading could help children access to good teaching and to materials, then support the development of a self-extending system. During this process, the right level of support and challenge books is a key factor. However, people are still confusions about which reading system to choose and how to use it. british school in china Introduced 3 key points people need to know about children’s leveled reading.
Leveled reading systems in US and UK
There are six main book leveling systems used in schools in US and UK, which are Lexile Framework for Reading, Fountas & Pinnell (Guided Reading Level), Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA), Accelerated Reader (AR), Book Bands and Oxford Levels. As we can see in the level correlation charts, Lexile Framework for Reading's reader measure can range from below 0L for early readers to above 2000L for advanced readers, Fountas & Pinnell uses the gradient of text from level A to Z+, DRA's A to 44 level allocates pupils into 4 groups of Emergent, Early, Transitional and Extending Readers, while Accelerated Reader (AR) indicates the readability of the text by school grade, and each grade level has a range of 0.1 to 0.9.
How to use Leveled Reading System?
Firstly, let the child do an assessment. Many schools offer reading assessments to determine a child's reading level, then parents or teachers can easily find books that match children's reading ability. Besides,AR and Lexile could cover up to pupils in Grade 12.
At Wellingtong College China, teachers consider good reading habits to be a top priority for pupils. Researches have shown that the advantages of reading go far beyond the development of language skills, and those who read regularly demonstrate higher confidence, increased empathy and improved decision-making skills. From reading test, leveled teaching and group instruction to rich reading resources, recommended reading list and children's own reading list, teachers encourage any opportunity for children to become keen and capable readers. No matter which system is utilized, or if the child wants to switch between systems, British School In China always is creating reading conditions for children, encouraging them to find their interest, acquiring the habit of life-long reading, and cultivating critical-thinking ability.
Books without levels
If can't find a level for a book, compare it to similar leveled books. It's very important to assess whether or not a book is developmentally appropriate for a given child.
When compare books, consider the following: vocabulary and word choice, sentence length and complexity, the length of the book, subject matter, repetition and predictability, picture support, age appropriateness and interest level. And there is a simple "Five Finger Rule" for application. Open the book to any page and have the child read aloud. For every word he/she doesn't know, hold up a finger.
0-1 fingers = easy
2 fingers = still okay, might be a bit challenging at times
3 fingers = a challenge, might need some help reading
4-5 fingers = too difficult, might want to read aloud to the child
british school in china also mentioned, children will read beyond their level when they're motivated by a topic, like dinosaurs, insects, universe, or anything else. That's one way readers grow. Another useful idea is to make sure that children always carry a book with them wherever they are, which makes reading could be done in a productive way.
At Wellington College China, the well-stocked school library is an invaluable source of great reading materials. Observe, talk and trust the children, they know they will make wise choices about books, just like they make more life choices in the future.

You’ve been wielding a mascara wand since you were 15. OK, maybe 13. But
that doesn’t make you a pro, according to makeup artists Grace Lee and
Anastasia Durasova. Read on to permanently change your lash game.Best wholesale eyelash vendor
1. Curl first. Take it from the experts — using a traditional clamp eyelash curler after you’ve applied mascara can chop your fringe right off. Ouch. “It’s the biggest lash mistake,” says Lee, who heads Maybelline New York’s artistry team in Canada. “I understand why women like to do this. It really does crank eyelashes up to almost a 90-degree angle and keep them there. But it’s also very dangerous.” Mascara can stick to the pad or metal, and then bam — they’re gone. Curl your lashes first, and then swipe on mascara.
2. Tag-team curlers. “Hands down, I love the Shu Uemura eyelash curler,” says Lee, a sentiment we hear on repeat from makeup artists. But every eye is shaped differently, which means the struggle is real when it comes to curling lashes. If you can’t fit all of your fringe into the frame of a traditional eyelash curler (often the case with small, large, or hooded eyes), call in back up, like a half-lash curler. Try Shu Uemura New Generation Eyelash S Curler. Its small clamp lets you target inner or outer lashes after going in with a traditional curler. And try Lee’s rule: “The longer you hold the curler, the longer your curl will last.” Aim for 10 seconds.
3. Prime with black. Black mascara is a staple, and for those of us who like our lashes to pop, the darker the better. On the other hand, primers (mascara bases created to maximize length, and volume and condition lashes) are almost universally white. “I don’t like them,” says Durasova, who is based in New York City. “No matter how hard you try to cover your prepped lashes with black mascara, at certain angles, you’ll still be able to see a little bit of that white base.” An eyelash primer is by no means a must, but if you’re a fan, use one of the few inky options available, like It Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Black Mascara Primer.
4. Create a full lash line. “It’s very important to apply mascara from the roots to the very end. A lot of girls skip the roots. They just do the ends,” says Durasova. If you fall into that camp, you’re missing out on the big-time impact of a full lash line. Brushing your eyeball with a mascara wand does not feel good, so I totally get that you don’t want to get it too close to your lash line. The easy workaround for extra lush roots: Dip the It Cosmetics Tightliner 10-in-1 Dual-Ended Brush into your mascara, and then gently push it into your lash line. The divots at the end of the brush scoop up and deliver product. Genius. Then use a spoolie to brush it out.
5. Wing it. Fluttery, flared lashes make your eyes look especially large, but nature doesn’t make it all that easy to score this effect. "The lashes at the outer corner of our eyes are naturally not our longest. Usually makeup artists need to use fake lashes to create wings,” explains Durasova. That is, until now: The brush of Maybelline New York The Falsies Push Up Angel Mascara has its longest bristles at its end point, so it gives your outer lashes their maximum extension and creates wings — and saves you the trouble of applying falsies
6. Get ahead of the curve. Ever noticed that most mascara wands are straight but your lash line isn’t? “Our lashes grow according to our eyelid line. If you want to simultaneously cover all of your lashes, you need a curved wand. It’s anatomically correct,” says Durasova, who bends her disposable mascara wands when she’s working at photo shoots. At home, it’s easiest to pick a mascara with a curved wand to begin with. Maybelline Falsies will automatically hug your lash line — no awkward maneuvering required.
7. Give your lashes top honors. Another pro trick to make eyes look open and bigger: Keep your upper fringe darker than your lower set. If you use a black formula on your top lashes, go for a dark brown mascara on your bottom lashes. To prevent a mess on your lower lashes, wipe the mascara wand on a makeup sponge to get rid of excess formula. “Then just use the tip and sway it back and forth vertically, so you’re lightly coating them,” says Lee. If you’re still getting smudges, create a guard by placing a piece of paper or business card between your lashes and skin, so the mascara doesn’t transfer.
8. Beat the heat. Muggy weather makes hair go flat, and that goes for your lashes too. “That’s because mascaras contain a lot of water,” says Durasova. When the humidity hits your water-laden lashes, they droop. Her solution: “Use a water-resistant formula. It contains less water and dries fast.” For even more hold, follow with a heated-lash curler like one from Japonesque. Unlike a traditional clamp curler, the heated version works by gently pressing up against lashes, so there is no risk of tearing or breaking hairs. A full rotation of lash-curlers (full-clamp, heated, and half-clamp) looks like this:
9. Wean off the waterproof. Waterproof mascara gets props for being the most budge-proof, so it definitely has a place in your arsenal. That place, though, is not daily. “The removal [process] of waterproof [mascara] — the rubbing and the amount of product that you’re applying — will wear down your lashes,” says Lee. “Use it wisely. I only wear waterproof when I need to because it’s really annoying to get off.” As in you need a pile of cotton pads and makeup remover specifically designed to break it down, like the cult fave Lancôme Bi-Facil. Not sure if your remover qualifies? Like the Lancôme, most makeup removers that can handle waterproof formulas have an oil or other non-water component and need to be shaken up to mix up the different liquids right before you use them.
10. Ease up on extensions. A set of doll-like lashes sans mascara sound like a dream, but be warned: “I’ve seen the natural lashes of my clients broken by lash extensions," says Lee. Then, she adds, they’ve felt they’ve had to keep getting them to compensate for their skimpy lashes. The good news: Any breakage or thinning should be temporary. Eyelashes, like the hair on your head, naturally fall out and grow back. It can take up to eight weeks for full regrowth, so you’ll need to be patient. The bad news: If your hair follicles have experienced trauma, like any harsh pulling or hot glue, then they may be out of commission. The safer bet is always mascara.

Dixon Stuelky’s face held 10 measures of concentration on the three
locks of hair in his hands.“Which way does this one go?” he asked.
It was his third try at braiding his daughter’s hair, and he was determined to get it right and tight.You’re going to wind it up over into the middle of the ones in your left hand,” instructed A.J. Johnson, demonstrating on his daughter, Kenzie, 9.Securing the braid with a rubber band, Stuelky stepped back, snapped a photo of his work and showed it to 9-year-old Naomi.Hair manufacturers
“I like that one,” she said.Stuelky was one of six dads who participated in a free Daddy Daughter Hair Factory class Saturday in downtown Waterloo.
Daddy Daughter Hair Factory is a global network of fathers who offer free classes to other dads on how to manage, style and care for their daughters’ hair while encouraging a healthy father-daughter bond.
Johnson, of Waterloo, joined the DDHF team a little more than a month ago. Saturday was the first class he’s taught.“I do my girls’ hair on daily basis. It’s something I’ve always enjoyed doing with my girls. It’s a great bonding experience,” he said.
Johnson and wife Tiffanie have three daughters, ages 9, 6 and 3. Johnson is a quality review specialist with Principal Financial in Cedar Falls and his wife is a day-care provider. In many families, hair duties are left to moms. Necessity put the job in dad’s hands in the Johnson household.
“We are basically outnumbered, and getting them ready in the morning is chaos,” Johnson said. “My wife and I were butting heads. I said, ‘You do lunches, I’ll do hair.’”During Saturday’s two-hour class, Johnson showed other dads the basics — high and low ponytails, braids and buns.
“What do you do if it’s not in the center?” asked Tyler Rasmussen, eyeballing the off-kilter ponytail he’d just secured on 5-year-old Kendall’s head.“Luckily, ’ 80s styles are coming back, so if it’s off I move it even more to the side,” Johnson joked.For Tim Conley, styling his youngest daughter’s hair is a new adventure. His oldest daughters are 26 and 25.“I never had to do this for them,” he said, running a brush through 6-year-old Caragin’s golden locks.
Some of the dads in Johnson’s class struggled. Others, like Ben Burens of Waterloo, moved deftly through each style, to the delight of his 7-year-old daughter Nyla Kelly.“You did good!” she said, reviewing his work via cell phone picture.Johnson was quick to note perfection isn’t the goal. Even if the ponytails are bumpy, the work they put in will help the relationships stay smooth.
“It’s not just about hair,” he said. “You open up lines of communication with your daughter. You can talk about school and other things while you’re doing her hair. It’s about the bond and spending the time with your daughter and showing her you are involved in her day-to-day life.”

The 27-year-old supermodel just became the new face of Dior Joaillerie,
the fancy French brand’s fine jewelry collections. She’s starring in the
brand’s upcoming campaign — launching November 1 — and as you may have
already guessed, it’s totally breathtaking.cara makeup
Delevigne is already an ambassador for Dior Beauty, having been the face of several campaigns like Dior Addict Stellar Lipstick, Dior Capture Dreamskin and more! And now, her first jewelry campaign is in support of the Rose des vents collection, made up of a mix of luxe layered necklaces, rings and bracelets — all of which feature Christian Dior’s iconic lucky star reimagined in the form of an eight-pointed motif: a symbol of “travel and adventure.”
The jewelry division turned to Delevigne because she felt like the perfect fit. “Her way of collecting, layering and mixing jewelry with ultra-modern spontaneity reflects her singular personality, cultivates uniqueness and asserts her many-faceted identity,” said the brand. “She lives by her own rules and prefers to mix it up as a singer, model, muse or actress — her only limit is her own freedom.”
The campaign consists of glamorous black-and-white portraits by Alexi Pissourios, in addition to a short film that gives viewers a glimpse into her playful personality. You can get a sneak peek at the film right now, but you’ll have to wait until November to see it in its entirety.
Together, the photos and short film come together to authentically represent the qualities of the brand and Delevingne. “It-girl Cara Delevingne incarnates the spirit of the emblematic Rose des vents and Oui collections by Victoire de Castellane and gives them her own spin, with her signature mix of irreverence and humour,” continued brand representatives. “Much more than a muse, the audacious icon is an endless source of inspiration.”

Heavy makeup bags are a thing of the past, according to Cara Delevingne.cara make up step by step
With short blond hair and a bold, edgy style, we're used to seeing the model on the red carpet in a full face. However, as her occasional off-duty Instagram posts proves, she's a less-is-more kind of girl on a day-to-day. Now the face of Burberry's Her fragrance, the Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets actress is revealing her makeup essentials.
"I like having a really good mascara," she told Vogue. "You can't really go wrong with that. I'm just always a fan of the Twiggy mascara eyes. Or just having a really good concealer. It's all you need. Like a little bit under the eye. It can cover up a lot."
To achieve the iconic eye makeup from former supermodel, Twiggy, concealer and mascara is all you need. The look features thick coats of black mascara on the top and bottom lashes, bringing attention to her large, blue eyes (that somewhat resemble Cara's). Then, the concealer, when placed under the eye, clears the appearance of dark circles and fine lines and makes the look even more impactful. Like most, Cara later shared that her intense travel schedule places visible strain on her eyes. Thus, her concealer and mascara routine offers some relief from that.
"I get bags under my eyes and then I don't look and feel my best," she stated. "Beauty is only skin deep, but when you do have bad skin you just, unfortunately, don't feel as good as you should. It's important to feel good about yourself on the inside."
To remain confident, whether she has dark circles or not, the model looks to both people and places for inspiration."I think British beauty is being confident and comfortable in what you wear and how you hold yourself," the UK-born star said.
In regards to people, she names Rihanna and fellow model Adwoa Aboah as beauty inspirations. However, the modern woman is her living icon."Any woman is an icon to me just because they've been so strong. So incredible and don't get enough credit most of the time.

We already have excellent resources on our website that can help teachers and advisers provide young people with accurate and accessible information that can raise aspirations and help navigate decisions. But we never rest on our laurels and want to do more.CPD (Continuing Professional development)
We know that time pressure and competing demands are an unavoidable reality of modern life, but we envisage this new role will make things easier by:
Creating ways for mainstream teachers to blend Hepp content into subject-specific lessons
Providing current information for other adults from whom young people are seeking advice, who might not know much about higher education or have out-of-date information or views
Explaining some of the more recent or peripheral parts of the higher education landscape, such as T Levels or Higher/Degree Apprenticeships
Giving context to the need for higher education, including the labour market information, skills and informed views of the future world of work
There is already lots of information available on the internet, so our role will be to signpost to great resources, where possible, and produce new resources to fill gaps, where necessary. We‘re also planning events where we can provide learning and information directly, rather than just online.
This is a role we’re still shaping, so if you’ve got a “if only Hepp could do XYZ then I could help the young people I speak to understand higher education so much better” thought – then please do get in touch with Sonia.

It is fitting that the logo of Philpott Children’s Tennis is a bright yellow happy face as there was no shortage of sunshine or smiles when children from the organization spent the day at Rogers Cup presented by National Bank earlier this month.Children tennis in Shanghai
The Doug Philpott Inner City Children’s Tennis Fund was established in 1985 in honour of Doug Philpott, a long-time supporter of tennis in Canada. Partnering with the City of Toronto and Jumpstart, Philpott Children’s Tennis has introduced the sport and its valuable life lessons to over 8,500 children each year in nearly twenty high-priority-needs neighbourhoods throughout Toronto. Thanks to the support of generous donors, tennis programming is offered free of charge and former participants are encouraged to continue influencing future generations by staying involved in the organization through coaching and mentoring.
On a hot Tuesday morning in early August, nearly 100 children were invited by Tennis Canada to attend Rogers Cup presented by National Bank, a prestigious WTA Premier 5 event featuring the world’s top womens tennis players, including the likes of 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams, recently-crowned Wimbledon champion Simona Halep and World No. 1 Naomi Osaka. The children were treated to an on-court tennis clinic, a backstage tour of Aviva Centre, lunch, and tickets to Centre Court to watch the world-class tennis on show.
In addition to the visit to the tournament, Tennis Canada and the WTA Tour invited a select group of 30 young participants from programs across the city to the official Rogers Cup presented by National Bank draw at Hotel X. At the event, participants got the chance to take part in a tennis clinic with Canadian superstar and eventual Rogers Cup champion Bianca Andreescu as well as WTA World No. 7 Kiki Bertens.
Prior to the clinic, Andreescu and Bertens presented Philpott Children’s Tennis with a $5,000 Tennis Warehouse gift certificate on behalf of WTA Charities. Richard Crowell, executive director of Philpott Children’s Tennis, says the donation will help immensely.
“One of the barriers to becoming a coach is a lack of access to proper clothing, footwear, and equipment,” he commented. “This grant will go a long way towards removing these barriers to help our players excel as future coaches in the sport.”
With more girls leading the way for the next generation of young tennis players in Toronto, there are sure to be plenty more smiles in the future.

It’s no surprise that anything employing the word baccalaureate and its built-in suggestion of academic excellence usually catches an admiring glance. But add “international” to that and our minds soar to what must be the Mt. Everest of academia.british school in china
Apparently surviving the thin air of educational high pursuit, Kyrene Middle School has planted its own flag of super-achievement in the form of the prestigious International Baccalaureate program, meaning that students promoted there can be recognized worldwide at any school they attend.
Incoming principal Scott Maxwell explained that KMS’s IB certification represents an offshoot of the 51-year-old international organization’s mission to maximize multidisciplinary student learning within a global context, which emphasizes cross-cultural influences.
That perspective, says Maxwell, fits the school’s regional identity perfectly. Maxwell, who takes his new job starting July 1 following former principal Julio Martinez, says achieving such prestigious recognition was no cakewalk.
“Getting this designation was a demanding two-year process that involved every aspect of what we do at the school,” says Maxwell, noting that the school will operate under the auspices of IB’s Middle Years Programme.
“Leading up to the final designation, IB personnel came onsite to visit classrooms, meet with parents and students, talk to teachers and take a look at our course offerings, to confirm we were ‘IB ready,’” Maxwell said.
“The actual certification also required a major reconfiguration of our curriculum.”“In all my years in education, I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a school and area that’s so unique,” Maxwell declared.“We have kids from the Guadalupe neighborhoods, the African-American, Asian, and Native American communities, and others from fairly affluent areas, all learning together under the globally defined umbrella that IB provides.”
Fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Maxwell grew up in Boston, studied in Beijing, taught in China and South Africa, and went on to earn a master’s degree in International Studies and Special Education from Middlebury Institute of International studies in Monterey, Calif.His international background in education makes Maxwell particularly enthusiastic to oversee the implementation of the IB program at the school.
“I’m so glad we were able to bring Mandarin into our language offerings, which now also include American Sign Language and Spanish,” Maxwell says, adding the IB system’s international perspective makes it unique in the world of education.

Chinese President Xi Jinping pledged that China will open its doors only wider to the world. "China will adhere to its fundamental state policy of opening-up and remains committed to opening-up to promote reform, development and innovation. This will bring opening to an even higher level," President Xi said at the opening ceremony of the second China International Import Expo on Tuesday.The second China International Import Expo will be held at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2019.For further information about China International Import Expo, please visit: https://www.shine.cn/China-International-Import-Expo/ or

"The huge Chinese market points to a potential that is simply unlimited," Xi said. "What I want to say to you today is that the Chinese market is so vast that you should all come and see what it has to offer."
China will better leverage the fundamental role of domestic consumption in economic development and foster a more robust domestic market in order to boost growth at home and create more room for global growth.
The country will attach greater importance to imports, continue to lower tariffs and institutional transaction costs, develop demonstration zones to promote import trade, and import more high-quality goods and services from around the world, according to Xi.
Xi pledged to take steps to promote balanced development of both imports and exports, and trade in goods and services. "This way, we will ensure a free yet orderly flow of both international and domestic factors of production, improve the efficient allocation of resources and deepen integration of markets."China's opening-up is all-dimensional and all-sectoral. A new structure of all-out opening-up is fast in the making," Xi said.
The country will continue to encourage bold trials and experiments in pilot free trade zones, and quicken the development of the Hainan free trade port. Hainan Province will be turned into a province-wide free trade port and become a pace-setter in the opening up of China.
"China will continue to implement a number of strategies that I mentioned regarding the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area," Xi said.
Xi also said that "we will draw up and improve a new national strategy for environmental protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin," with the purpose to seek greater synergy of opening-up among different parts of the country.
In addition, the business environment will be further improved in China, as Xi believes that a healthy business environment is one that provides the necessary conditions for enterprises to survive and thrive.
On October 24, the World Bank released its latest Doing Business report 2020, which ranks China 31 in the world, up from last year's 46th position. Last month, China issued a new regulation on optimizing the business environment. Going forward, the country will continue to remove major constraints on economic development, gear up reforms in key areas and modernize governance capacity as an institutional support for high-standard opening-up and high-quality development.
"We will give foreign investments greater market access to more sectors, shorten the negative list further, and improve institutions for investment promotion and protection, and for information reporting," Xi said.
"With regard to IP protection, we will cultivate an environment that appreciates the value of knowledge, improve the legal framework, step up law enforcement, and enhance protection through both civil and criminal justice systems."
Xi also mentioned that China will continue to deepen multilateral and bilateral cooperation, saying the country will be happy to conclude high-standard free trade agreements with more countries.
"Looking forward, China will follow the new development approach and the strategy of innovation-driven development, and redouble our efforts to foster new growth drivers by shifting our growth model, improving the economic structure, and creating new growth momentum," Xi concluded.
