This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bloomsbury Handbook of Reading Perspectives and Practices focuses on the experiences of reading from a young age to maturity and the different ways reading is encountered: in other words, the processes involved as well as the outcomes. The international group of experts, within both teaching and academia, focuses on reading in school: how is it taught? What is taught? How is it assessed? Controversial issues are explored: the acquisition of phonics; teaching the canon, including or ignoring digital texts; the advent of standards-based tests. The contributions also consider people's biographies of reading, their memories of reading in school and their current views on literature. Together, this well-edited volume provides a more complete view of reading than is currently on offer, exploring all aspects of what it means to be literate and how we define being literate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended for writing instructors at all levels who lack the training to deal effectively with the increasingly important role played by empirical research in their field, Composition Research explains ten of the most common empirical designs used in the social sciences. These include: casestudy, ethnography, sampling/survey, quantitative descriptive research, prediction and classification studies, true and quasi-experiments, meta-analysis, and program evaluation. Each design is explained with reference to at least two specific composition studies, and includes a separatebibliography that identifies further writing studies that use it. The book also features a chapter on measurement, an appendix on statistical analyses, a glossary of technical terms and symbols, and guidelines for research on human subjects.
Download or read book Using a Literature based Reading Writing Program in a Grade 11 Classroom to Improve Children s Reading Achievement Self concept and Attitudes Towards Reading and Writing written by Catherine M. Greene and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study set out to explore the relationships between reading and writing; to investigate and describe the effect of an integrated reading and writing program on reading achievement, reading attitude, writing attitude, and self-concept as learner; and to report parents' involvement in and reaction to the program. To this end an integrated reading and writing program was implemented in a grade two classroom and evaluated, using a case study design to report the results. The research was based on the following four questions. Does the integrated reading and writing program provide: -- 1. improved students' performance in reading? -- 2. improved students' self-concepts as learners? -- 3. improved students' attitudes towards reading? -- 4. improved students' attitudes towards writing? -- The investigation also sought to explore relationships between reading achievement and (1) self-concept, (2) attitudes towards reading, (3) attitudes towards writing and (4) parental involvement. -- The researcher/teacher designed an integrated reading and writing program to accommodate theories of language learning presented in the review of the literature. Students were administered pretests and posttests in reading achievement, self-concept, attitudes towards reading and attitudes towards writing to determine if the program affected these variables. Descriptive data were collected throughout the study to ascertain if activities that were specified by the theory were being effectively operationalized and implemented. -- Results at the end of the program indicated positive answers to all four questions. Students' performances on the standardized reading pretest and posttest were compared with the norms and showed that the mean gain of the study group in both vocabulary and comprehension was greater than the Canadian national mean gain. Average reading growth in months for the study group was 9.1 months in vocabulary and 12.7 months in comprehension and greater than the expected seven month growth. Statistical analysis confirmed that the gains in comprehension were significant at the .05 level. 88.5% of the students showed an improvement in self-concept. 84.6% showed improved attitudes towards reading and 92.3% showed improved attitudes towards writing. -- Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between reading achievement and (1) reading attitudes and (2) self-concept. The study gave evidence that writing activities can positively affect reading comprehension but there was no significant correlation between reading achievement and writing attitudes. Although parental invovlement was high, it was not significantly correlated with the reading achievement of the students.

This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed. The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and other processes in normal reading development are discussed. Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades, including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials commonly used to teach reading.
