Download or read book Changes in the Nonfiction Reading Practices of Second Grade Readers as a Result of Parent teacher Collaboration Using Online Instructional Videos written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study addressed the need to teach parents of struggling second grade readers effective strategies to help their children improve their nonfiction reading comprehension. This case study examined the changes in nonfiction reading strategy implementation of three parent-child dyads as a result of the parents watching instructional videos and receiving feedback on their application of the reading strategies. Video submissions of parent-child reading sessions were reviewed and analyzed qualitatively using the constant comparative method of data analysis. Emergent coding was used to categorize the data and determine themes. The results of this study demonstrate that a classroom teacher can use online instructional videos with parents that include an explanation and a demonstration of reading strategies to make positive changes in the nonfiction reading comprehension practices of second grade struggling readers. The data suggest that most parents can learn to implement many nonfiction reading strategies by simply watching instructional videos. Parents can also learn additional strategies when given meaningful feedback on their attempts to implement the reading strategies. Some strategies, however, were difficult for parents to learn even with instructional videos and feedback. The results of this study suggest that teachers can utilize well-designed online instructional videos to provide support to parents of struggling readers. This approach is a cost-effective means of disseminating powerful information about reading strategies to parents. It also allows parents, particularly those with scheduling challenges, to receive support from the school at their convenience.

Download or read book Tap Click Read written by Lisa Guernsey and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-09-21 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to promoting literacy in the digital age With young children gaining access to a dizzying array of games, videos, and other digital media, will they ever learn to read? The answer is yes—if they are surrounded by adults who know how to help and if they are introduced to media designed to promote literacy, instead of undermining it. Tap, Click, Read gives educators and parents the tools and information they need to help children grow into strong, passionate readers who are skilled at using media and technology of all kinds—print, digital, and everything in between. In Tap, Click, Read authors Lisa Guernsey and Michael H. Levine envision a future that is human-centered first and tech-assisted second. They document how educators and parents can lead a new path to a place they call 'Readialand'—a literacy-rich world that marries reading and digital media to bring knowledge, skills, and critical thinking to all of our children. This approach is driven by the urgent need for low-income children and parents to have access to the same 21st-century literacy opportunities already at the fingertips of today's affluent families.With stories from homes, classrooms and cutting edge tech labs, plus accessible translation of new research and compelling videos, Guernsey and Levine help educators, parents, and America's leaders tackle the questions that arise as digital media plays a larger and larger role in children's lives, starting in their very first years of life. Tap, Click, Read includes an analysis of the exploding app marketplace and provides useful information on new review sites and valuable curation tools. It shows what to avoid and what to demand in today's apps and e-books—as well as what to seek in community preschools, elementary schools and libraries. Peppered with the latest research from fields as diverse as neuroscience and behavioral economics and richly documented examples of best practices from schools and early childhood programs around the country, Tap, Click, Read will show you how to: Promote the adult-child interactions that help kids grow into strong readers Learn how to use digital media to build a foundation for reading and success Discover new tools that open up avenues for creativity, critical thinking, and knowledge-building that today's children need The book's accompanying website keeps you updated on new research and provides vital resources to help parents, schools and community organizations.
Download or read book Student Interactions Attitudes and Engagement During Literacy Events in a Second Grade Classroom written by Margaret A. Lehman and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the student-student interactions, attitudes toward reading and engagement during literacy events in a second grade classroom. The literacy environment and the teacher's conceptualization of her role as a reading instructor were also part of this investigation. Five second grade struggling readers and their teacher, Miss Beckham, were part of this case study research. The classroom setting was observed for 36 mornings and 11 afternoons during the language arts, science, and social studies content classes during eight weeks of the 2010-2011 school year. Inductive analysis was used to analyze the field note, and student and teacher interview data. Metaphor analysis was used to further analyze the teacher interview data. Analysis revealed three themes within this data set, which are literacy environment and the teacher's influence, perceptions and attitude about reading and learning to read, and the when and why of student engagement. The theme of literacy environment and the teacher's influence included an explanation of the physical environment, the routines of the classroom, and teacher actions that impacted the environments within the classroom. The students' and teachers' perceptions were explored using informal and formal interviews, which were guided by classroom observations. These interviews revealed a disconnect between the teacher's views of the importance of student-student interactions and the students' views of when and how often they were allowed to interact with their classmates about reading. The final theme of the when and why of student engagement was explored through classroom observation, and informal and formal student and teacher interviews. This data showed how constricting and confusing teacher expectations can be for students. Although the physical environment of sitting in groups and classroom routines like working in centers during the reading portion of the day, the teacher's actions did not encourage interactions as much as her formal interview revealed she believed she did. Implications for teacher preparation and professional development, teacher practice, school districts, and parents were discussed. Some suggestions for teacher preparation and professional development include helping pre-service and in-service teachers understand the importance of student-student interactions, the effect of the literacy environment on students learning, and the significance of content are reading in the primary classroom. Suggestions for teacher practice include promoting and explicitly teaching children how to interact appropriately through explicit instruction and guidance as well as reflecting on one's own practice using a variety of methods to explore whether actual classroom practice aligns with personal views of what good practice entails. In order to promote student-student interactions in the classroom setting, school districts need to allocate resources, revise curriculum, and provide teachers with the needed support to make the needed changes that support student-student interactions. Suggestions for parents include interacting with their child while reading a book together and promoting positive attitudes towards reading in the home environment. Suggestions for further research include additional research on student-student interactions within classrooms that are highly interactional so that we can learn how teachers incorporate allowing students to interact with each other regularly into their everyday teaching routine. There is also a need for further research on student attitude towards reading and how that attitude plays out in the classroom setting, including looking at students of varying ability levels. Because of the exploratory nature of this study, generalizations cannot be drawn, but practitioners and researchers can gain further understanding of how students learn and interact in the classroom setting.

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.
