Download or read book A Study Into Reading Gain of Intermediate Remedial Students Utilizing Certain Holistic Language Teaching Techniques written by Patricia Fern (Fudge) Ryan and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the present study was to provide a literature-based reading program for a group of reading-disabled intermediate students as an alternative to the more traditional "skills approach" methodology of teaching reading and writing. According to current research, a holistic approach appears to be effective for teaching young children to read. It was hypothesized by the present researcher that certain strategies used with young children could also be used effectively with older students. The underlying assumption was that, since these older students had not developed efficient reading strategies, they would be, in many ways, similar to younger beginning readers. They were, in fact, in many respects, beginning readers. The study was based on the premise that there is significant educational value in providing for students of all ages learning activities in which they are able to experience some degree of success. -- Analysis of the quantitative data collected in this study, corroborated by qualitative information, clearly indicate that the methodologies used, here, can be very effective in teaching older children to read and write. In every case but one, reading skills increased by at least one year, with a mean gain of almost two years during the course of the study. -- When older students, particularly those who have had a history of negative schooling experiences and failure, respond in the manner in which the students in the present study have done, and with such reading gains and attitude change as have been achieved, there appears to be little doubt that methodologies utilized have been effective, not only for the gains made in reading, but also for the intrinsic value to be derived from positive attitudes and enhanced self-concept.

Book excerpt: "For decades, the education system has poured time, money, and effort into helping young students learn to read well, but nearly every attempt at reforming literacy among the youth has failed. So instead of reforming, why not reframe? Literacy Reframed seeks to reframe literacy in the education system by removing the current obsession with examinations and skill work. Instead, authors Robin J. Fogarty, Gene M. Kerns, and Brian M. Pete introduce the three pillars of literacy: phonics, vocabulary, and knowledge, which serve to create a reading environment built on students' continual acquisition of knowledge and need to learn. By reading The Big Three, educators will learn how to create literacy-reframed classrooms, where students are consumed by the sound of reading, engrossed by the words on the page, and thirsting to learn more about anything and everything"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Dr Bob was our pediatrician. If we could trust him with our kids, you can trust him with how to learn better. I discovered many surprising truths about learning in this book, so follow the scientific research and become a better learner.'Guy KawasakiBestselling book author, chief evangelist of Canva and creator of the 'Remarkable People' podcast Most 'how to learn' books focus only on study techniques. However, knowing these study techniques doesn't guarantee they will be successfully implemented. Based on Professor Kamei's popular undergraduate course at the National University of Singapore, the author shares his unique perspective as an educator and physician to provide a strategic approach to learning that will benefit all students looking to optimize their learning.His extensive experience with helping students with their studies has identified a wide variety of reasons why they were not learning properly. What throws many learners off is that they hold certain myths that result in poor study habits. Learners who understand the truth behind these myths can use this knowledge to better plan their study and have an advantage over others that don't.Furthermore, modifying your study methods won't make much difference if you are too sleepy to learn or lack the motivation and self-discipline to pick up a book. These foundational aspects of learning also need to be solidly in place. This book takes learners through the author's holistic method to help students learn better and meet whatever learning challenges they face.Learners of all ages who wish to optimize their learning will benefit from this book, as well as educators seeking an approach to help their students learn better.Related Link(s)

Download or read book Reading Fluency written by Timothy Rasinski and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading fluency has been identified as a key component of proficient reading. Research has consistently demonstrated significant and substantial correlations between reading fluency and overall reading achievement. Despite the great potential for fluency to have a significant outcome on students’ reading achievement, it continues to be not well understood by teachers, school administrators and policy makers. The chapters in this volume examine reading fluency from a variety of perspectives. The initial chapter sketches the history of fluency as a literacy instruction component. Following chapters examine recent studies and approaches to reading fluency, followed by chapters that explore actual fluency instruction models and the impact of fluency instruction. Assessment of reading fluency is critical for monitoring progress and identifying students in need of intervention. Two articles on assessment, one focused on word recognition and the other on prosody, expand our understanding of fluency measurement. Finally, a study from Turkey explores the relationship of various reading competencies, including fluency, in an integrated model of reading. Our hope for this volume is that it may spark a renewed interest in research into reading fluency and fluency instruction and move toward making fluency instruction an even more integral part of all literacy instruction.
