Extractions: The typical classroom assumes that teaching and learning stand in a one-to-one relationship: the more I teach, the more you learn. (In Paradise Lost , the gates of heaven swing on hinges of gold....) In practice however most classrooms subordinate learning to teaching. This preliminary site demonstrates a way to subordinate teaching to learning ( Gattegno You can use this site to start speaking an American Indian language.

Extractions: The K-12 Literacy Unit of the Arkansas Department of Education offers staff development to school districts through the services of the reading specialists employed throughout the state. Based on a large body of research related to how learning takes place, a balanced, comprehensive approach to reading and writing instruction is recommended. Balanced literacy instruction is characterized by meaningful literacy activities that provide the child with both the skills and motivation to become proficient readers and writers. Reading involves two processes: decoding and comprehension. This approach recognizes the importance of phonics, word recognition practice, and focused comprehension instruction. The staff development has been designed on a continuum for grades K-8 and aligned with the Arkansas Curriculum Frameworks. Each staff development program requires either a two- or three-year commitment by the school district, principal and participating teacher. Teachers learn how to implement a balanced literacy program that can be characterized by the following: Integration of instruction in the areas of reading, writing, speaking, listening, observing and thinking across the curriculum with literature being the focus of the language arts.

Extractions: February 4, 2003 News Release Student-Led Service Programs Spotlight Reading Activities Washington, D.C. - The National Education Association (NEA) has awarded 12 grants totaling $5,000 to 12 student-led programs through Youth Leaders for Literacy, a joint initiative of the NEA and Youth Service America (YSA). Projects in Idaho, Utah, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New York, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Washington State, Indiana, Missouri, and New Jersey were chosen by an NEA and YSA panel that based its selections on originality, potential impact on the community, and contributions to literacy development. Awards grants will be used by the winners to further develop and expand their winning projects.

Extractions: This site is a good springboard to help primary students do research. The student option guides youngsters in Grades 3-6 through the research. The goal is to locate four Australian animals, find information, and report back the requested information. The activity helps students learn to gather information, sift through it, and provide only that requested. Thus, students begin to practice the skill of seeking and summarizing specific information. Research Process Helper A four-step research process is provided for elementary students in a gifted and talented classroom and for middle school students. Students work on the preparation steps, which include using a task definition chart and webbing tools, and accessing information where generic and school-specific information is found. Next, the process provides excellent ideas on processing information and the final step of transferring the information to others. This thoughtfully developed site can serve as a model for many activities crafted jointly between the teacher-librarian and the content-area teacher. Wrapping Up Research

Extractions: some practical suggestions The IFLA Section on Reading is pleased to present some practical suggestions for library staff who would like to help our society become more literate. We believe that most libraries are uniquely situated to promote literacy. They may develop and staff their own programs or they may support literacy projects sponsored by other organizations. The aims of these practical pointers are: To encourage libraries to become involved in literacy programs; Our definition of literacy is broad. It includes the development of reading, writing, and numeracy skills (skills related to numbers). These skills encourage the independence, curiosity and lifelong learning of individuals and groups. Such learners contribute greatly to the economic, social and cultural health of the communities and the nations in which they live. We have asked and answered a number of questions in this brochure: Who is our audience?

http://www.earlyliteracy.com/research/process.html

Extractions: Her work confirmed that early learners have different learning styles for internalizing the structures of language, for developing phonological and phonemic awareness, for learning sound/symbol relationships, and for understanding the structure and function of print. Children need opportunities to explore and discover relationships between oral language and print at their own pace and in their own ways. Dr. Brown's work with individual children foreshadowed recent findings that identify the precursors to competent, confident reading. This research has shown that, in order to read, a child must develop an awareness of spoken language (phonological awareness) and understand the concept of "word." The child must know that words can be broken into syllables and that sounds can be separated, blended, and rearranged. In fact, a child's sensitivity to the sound structure of speech is considered by many to be the strongest single predictor of success or failure in learning to read.

http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/ncbepubs/symposia/reading/literacy9.html

Extractions: High-school-aged adolescents who emigrate to the United States with no knowledge of English and little schooling in their native countries encounter even greater difficulties in American schools than their peers who have had the benefit of appropriate schooling in their country of origin. Students without a native language foundation of reading, writing, and schooling lack the skills and academic knowledge that can be transferred to English literacy development and school achievement. In contrast, students who arrive well-prepared academically and highly literate in a language other than English possess conceptual knowledge and skills such as reading and writing that can assist their development of full literacy in English. Adolescent immigrant students with limited prior educational experiences must develop reading, writing, and other literacies as quickly as possible so that they can use these skills as learning tools to acquire the concepts and skills they have missed by not having had access to formal schooling in their native countries ( Chamot, 1998
