EBSCOhost: Going for Broke-100% Literacy. - 3 views

    I found this article while looking up info for my research paper. A high school in Alabama created a school wide literacy program to improve the literacy level of every student. Content teachers realized the impact and important role they have in teaching reading to their students. The principal and literacy committee made it their job to see each student as a face with needs, not a statistic. A great article for school improvement committees or just reading to show what committed high schools are capable of.

Journal #3: Second-Language Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Learning with Multimedia - 0 views

    Second-Language Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Learning with Multimedia Lee B. Abraham Hispania , Vol. 90, No. 1 (Mar., 2007), pp. 98-108 Published by: American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese Article Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20063468 This article presents a research study where ESL students were put into 3 groups a control group, a forced look-up group, and a choice look-up group. The study was trying to find out if using multimedia would aide in the increase in vocabulary in ESL students. The study found that students in the control group had little vocabulary growth, but the students in the two other groups had the same percentage growth of 18%. When I first started reading this article, I was interested to see if using multimedia tools would increase the vocabulary. I was specifically interested in the use of technology. There is no differentiation about which types of multimedia are better. As I further read, I thought that the students who were given a choice of what to look up would make more growth, because they would be working off their own motivation, but the study showed that whether they were forced to look up words or had a choice, they made the same growth. This reinforces the importance of teaching my students to use context clues, but when that doesn't help, to learn how to use a dictionary and the computer to find the meaning for words.

Educational Leadership:Reading: The Core Skill:Every Child, Every Day - 0 views

  • research has demonstrated that access to self-selected texts improves students' reading performance (Krashen, 2011), whereas no evidence indicates that workbooks, photocopies, or computer tutorial programs have ever done so
  • If school principals eliminated the budget for workbooks and worksheets and instead spent the money on real books for classroom libraries, this decision could dramatically improve students' opportunities to become better readers.
  • Studies of exemplary elementary teachers further support the finding that more authentic reading develops better readers
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • struggling readers typically encounter a steady diet of too-challenging texts throughout the school day
  • remediation that emphasizes comprehension can change the structure of struggling students' brains.
  • to enable the brain to develop the ability to read: It takes lots of reading and rereading of text that students find engaging and comprehensible.
  • he intensity and volume of high-success reading, that determines a student's progress in learning to read
  • exemplary teachers were more likely to differentiate instruction so that all readers had books they could actually read accurately, fluently, and with understanding.
  • Writing provides a different modality within which to practice the skills and strategies of reading for an authentic purpose.
  • Time for students to talk about their reading and writing is perhaps one of the most underused, yet easy-to-implement, elements of instruction
  • Research has demonstrated that conversation with peers improves comprehension and engagement with texts in a variety of settings
  • better outcomes when kids simply talked with a peer about what they read than when they spent the same amount of class time highlighting important information after reading
  • When students write about something they care about, they use conventions of spelling and grammar because it matters to them that their ideas are communicated, not because they will lose points or see red ink if they don't
  • This high-impact, low-input strategy is another underused component of the kind of instruction that supports readers
  • simply requires a decision to use class time more effectively.
  • eliminate almost all worksheets and workbooks
  • ban test-preparation activities and materials from the school day
  • no studies demonstrating that engaging students in test prep ever improved their reading proficiency—or even their test performance

Classroom Strategies | Reading Rockets - 2 views

  •  
    As I was looking for sources for my research paper, I came across this website that I think is excellent so I wanted to share it with everyone. I know people have posted information from this website but when I was looking through course book notes, I didn't find this specific section of the website posted so I thought I would post it. This site provides roughly 50 reading strategies and explains what they are and how to use them. The one cool thing I like about the site is that it breaks each strategy into three phases: Before Reading, During Reading, and After Reading. For each strategy, it tells you in which phase should you implement the strategy. I hope this is helpful to everyone!
