Sarah Ricketts to Susan Niemcewicz, July 11, 1806
No full textSarah Ricketts wrote from Otto House to Susan Niemcewicz, unaddressed. Sarah was on board the Otis with Mrs. Carmack who had taken her passage and would sail in a day or two. Mr. Ricketts planned to go with her to Gravesend where Mrs. Carmack would embark. She wrote to Mr. C to meet her at New York and then she planned to go immediately to Philadelphia and perhaps stay one night at Elizabethtown. If she stayed half an hour at Elizabethtown, she would make a point of seeing Susan and give her an account of Sarah and her family. Sarah promised Mrs. Carmack that if she saw Susan, she would give her peaches. Sarah purchased a ring for Mrs. W and she worried she would not like it. Sarah waited until the last minute in hopes of seeing something new and she chose the prettiest and newest pattern she could find for the price, but all the shops asked for ten and twelve guinea for handsome pearl and Sarah was limited to two and a half. She thought the shops in New York, though not as large, were better and cheaper. The shops in England used to get their fashions from France and improve upon them, but since the war, they had nothing new. Sarah saw no change and they continued to wear their American clothes. She dined at Mrs. Lewis’s with a party and wore the chambray Mrs. K sent her without any alterations. They’ve had constant invitations and Maria was much admired. However, the parties were almost over, and a number of people left. They say Parliament would not sit longer than a week. Sarah took James and Phil to a masked party at St. James’s Palace the week before that was given by Mrs. Boscawen. It was a pleasant party, and the garden was prettily illuminated. Many people thought they would never enjoy America again and thought it cruel to take Maria back. Sarah feared she would be induced to stay as she had several offers. Sarah could not bear being separated from her daughter even though she had no prospect of making as good a match in America as she would in London. Sarah wished their affairs were settled as it was unpleasant not to have a house of their own. She always had an idea that it might appear mean to stay so long with the “Old Gentleman” and she worried over the additional expense they must put on him. Sarah received a new carriage that came to the door on her birthday with their arms as a surprise for the day. On her wedding day, she received a present of a handsome watch. On Maria’s birthday, she received a handsome pearl necklace, bracelets, and earrings. While writing this letter, Sarah received a letter from Lord Bolingbroke mentioning their arrival and wished to see Sarah and her family immediately. Sarah mentioned that Lady B was safe in bed and all danger was over. She delivered a dead child not five minutes after the ladies left the room. Sarah had two dishes made for Susan agreeable to the pattern she gave her. She also sent two hats; one for Mrs. Armstrong and the other for Jane; and two caps for Molly and Becky. Julia’s frocks were thought uncommonly handsome and have several times been sent for as patterns. Children her age generally wore plain clothes; it was only infants that they dressed expensively. Sarah also sent Jane a pair of fashionable earrings and an ornament for the head, a ribbon necklace and bracelets, which worked with long sleeves to easily make yourself a set. Some people wore them in their hair. People mentioned: Mr. And Mrs. Carmack, James Ricketts, Mrs. W, Maria Ricketts, Mrs. Boscawen, Mrs. Armstrong, Molly, Becky, Jane, Julia, Lord Robert, and Baron Ferdinand. Places mentioned: St. James Palacehttps://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1561/thumbnail.jp

Reading comprehension in developmental disorders of language and communication
No full textBackground: Deficits in reading airment (SLI), Down syndrome (DS) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Methods: In this review (based on a search of the ISI Web of Knowledge database to 2011), the Simple View of Reading is used as a framework for considering reading comprehension in these groups.
Conclusions: There is substantial evidence for reading comprehension impairments in SLI and growing evidence that weaknesses in this domain are common in DS and ASD. Further, in these groups reading comprehension is typically more impaired than word recognition. However, there is also evidence that some children and adolescents with DS, ASD and a history of SLI develop reading comprehension and word recognition skills at or above the age appropriate level. This review of the literature indicates that factors including word recognition, oral language, nonverbal ability and working memory may explain reading comprehension difficulties in SLI, DS and ASD. In addition, it highlights methodological issues, implications of poor reading comprehension and fruitful areas for future research

Investigating orthographic and semantic aspects of word learning in poor comprehenders
No full textThis study compared orthographic and semantic aspects of word learning in children who differed in reading comprehension skill. Poor comprehenders and controls matched for age (9–10 years), nonverbal ability and decoding skill were trained to pronounce 20 visually presented nonwords, 10 in a consistent way and 10 in an inconsistent way. They then had an opportunity to infer the meanings of the new words from story context. Orthographic learning was measured in three ways: the number of trials taken to learn to pronounce nonwords correctly, orthographic choice and spelling. Across all measures, consistent items were easier than inconsistent items and poor comprehenders did not differ from control children. Semantic learning was assessed on three occasions, using a nonword–picture matching task. While poor comprehenders showed equivalent semantic learning to controls immediately after exposure to nonword meaning, this knowledge was not well retained over time. Results are discussed in terms of the language and reading skills of poor comprehenders and in relation to current models of reading development
