Download or read book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Most Effective Way to Master the 200 Sight Words Essential to your Child's Reading & Writing Success From the trusted name in children's education worldwide comes the biggest and most comprehensive sight word learning and practice workbook. Once your child has mastered these key words they will: ✅ Read far more fluently ✅ Write with greater ease ✅ Spell with increased accuracy ✅ Boost reading comprehension ✅ Accelerate language learning Why Your Child MUST Master Sight Words Sight words are a set of words that constantly appear on almost any page of writing, such as 'who, does, come, we'. They are the building blocks of written language. However, many sight words cannot be 'sounded out' because they do not follow the standard rules of spelling. The child has to memorize sight words as a whole, by sight, so that they recognize them immediately without having to decode the spelling. The problem is that minimal instruction is given by teachers and parents. Often, little more is done than showing the word to the child and telling them what it is. However, for many children, this is not nearly enough. As a result, their reading and comprehension of these crucial words is lacking, which significantly brings down their overall reading ability. Scholdener's Sight Word Workbook is the solution. A Multi-Dimensional Approach Educational research has shown that the best technique for learning sight words is accurate writing and spelling of the word, comprehension of its use in a simple sentence, and a visual representation of the phrase to reinforce how the word is used in context. Scholdener's Sight Word Workbook is the only workbook that uses this multi-dimensional model for each and every one of its 200 words. This ensures that the child really grasps the sight word, along with its spelling, meaning and usage. In teaching terms, giving your child the opportunity to learn words in proper context is known as 'meaningful reading'. This is an extremely effective tool that has been shown to be far superior for retention than plain memorization or rote learning. Includes Dolche Word List Educator Dr Edward William Dolch developed the 'Dolch Sight Words List' by studying the most frequently occurring words in children's books. These words comprise a staggering 80% of the words you would find in a standard children's book. Once a child knows this list of words, it makes reading much easier. You'll be pleased to know that this workbook incorporates the key Dolch words. Book Details 8.5" x 11" - Large size provides plenty of room for writing inside. 200 sight words - TWICE as many as other workbooks. More than 100 pages of writing exercises.
