Ann Matthews Martin (born August 12, 1955) is an acclaimed American children's author.
Ann Martin grew up in Princeton, New Jersey with her parents and her younger sister, Jane. After graduating from Smith College, Martin became a teacher and then an editor of children's books; she is now a full-time writer. Martin finds the ideas for her books from many different sources: some are based on personal experiences, while others are based on childhood memories and feelings. Many are about contemporary problems or events. All of Ann's characters, including the members of The Baby-Sitters Club, are fictional, but many of her characters are based on real people. Sometimes Ann names her characters after people she knows, and other times she simply chooses names that she likes[citation needed].
Martin has always enjoyed writing. Even before she was old enough to write, she would dictate stories to her mother to write down for her. Some of her favorite authors at that time were Lewis Carroll, P. L. Travers, Hugh Lofting, Astrid Lindgren, and Roald Dahl. They inspired her to become a writer herself.
Since ending The Baby-Sitters Club series in 2000, Martin’s writing has concentrated on single novels, many of which are set in the 1960s. In 2010, Martin published a prequel to The Baby-Sitters Club series titled The Summer Before.
After living in New York City for many years, Martin moved to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York where she now lives with her dog, Sadie, and her cats, Gussie, Pippen, and Woody. Her hobbies are reading, sewing, and needlework. Her favorite thing to do is to make clothes for children. According to the biographical blurb in the back of The Baby-Sitters Club books, she "likes ice cream and I Love Lucy and hates to cook".
In 1990, she created the Ann M. Martin Foundation, which provides grants to causes benefiting children, education/literacy programs, and homeless people and animals.
這個係列的小說,三本都收齊瞭。還沒細看
評分 評分 評分 評分這裏麵的每個字我們都認識,每句話都懂,但整段文字卻讓人不知所雲。而如果給這段文字加個標題——“洗衣機的使用說明書”(節選),我們立刻會有茅塞頓開的感覺。
評分這個例子直觀地說明,識字與閱讀理解之間並不能劃等號,識瞭字未必就能理解,閱讀理解主要依靠原有的經驗來建構文字的意義。因此,在早期閱讀中,傢長和教師要幫助兒童豐富他們的日常生活經驗,廣泛認識身邊的各種事物。一味地強調識字所能達到的“閱讀能力”是不完整的,同時也是有害的。
評分We really enjoyed this book in my household! I thought it was a terrific children's book that even I, the adult, thoroughly enjoyed. I had tried to read it to the kids one chapter a night, but was always begged to continue after a chapter had ended. Too often I caved in and read another, because I wanted to know how what happened next too. I thought the illustrations were excellent, and I know the kids sure loved looking at the pictures!
評分 評分許多傢長認為隻有識瞭字纔能進行閱讀,片麵追求識字的數量和速度,以為識字早、識字多、識字快,就是成功的早期閱讀教育。
