Download or read book Teaching Kids to Read written by Fay Lorraine Tran and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning to read and write is the most important skill a child needs to acquire-everything else they do in life depends on it, including their school and tertiary studies and their future employment. In 2011, Australia will have a National Curriculum for the first time and the first and most vital component will be teaching literacy using phonics-an easy-to-follow visual system that went out of fashion in the 1980s but is now back with a bang. Phonics will be the preferred method of teaching reading in the new National Curriculum. Fay Tran's TEACHING KIDS TO READ is the first book to explain how ordinary Australian parents with no teaching background themselves can use this method to teach their kids how to read. It will also bring phonics to the generation of teachers who missed out on phonics during the 'reading wars' of the 1980s and 1990s. Friendly, clear instructions are accompanied by case studies that illustrate the amazing transformations to kids' confidence and learning that are possible using this method. While phonics is especially powerful for children with learning difficulties, Fay Tran's book applies equally well to children of all capabilities. Passionately argued, TEACHING KIDS TO READ is not only an essential handbook for every Australian parent and teacher, but also a compelling manifesto for a literate Australia.

Download or read book Using Context in Information Literacy Instruction written by Allison Hosier and published by ALA Editions. This book was released on 2021 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hosier shows academic librarians how to use context when teaching information literacy, an approach that offers a substantive and enduring impact on students' lifelong learning. Librarians know that information literacy is much more complex and nuanced than the basic library research skill that it's often portrayed as; in fact, as outlined by the ACRL Framework, research is a contextual activity. But the settings in which we teach often constrain our ability to take a more layered approach. This book not only shows you how to teach information literacy as something other than a basic skill, but also how to do it in whatever mode of teaching you're most often engaged in, whether that's a credit-bearing course, a one-shot session, a tutorial, a reference desk interaction, or a library program. Taking you through each step of the research process, this book shares ideas for adding context while exploring topics such as how conversations about context can be integrated into lessons on common information literacy topics; examples of the six genres of research and suggested course outlines for each; ensuring that context strategies fit within the ACRL Framework; questions for reflection in teaching each step of the research process; four different roles that sources can play when researching a topic; helping students refine a topic that is drawing too many or too few sources; cultivating students to become good decision-makers for the best type of research sources to use depending on their need; and how to address the shortcomings of checklist tools like the CRAAP test.

Download or read book Teaching Critical Thinking Skills written by Catherine Delamain and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical teaching resource has been designed to give children aged 9–12 the basic tools required to challenge some of the conflicting information which they may encounter in everyday life. With increasing exposure to modern information technology and social media, amongst other things, children are increasingly exposed to misleading information that can seriously influence their worldview and self-esteem. The sooner they are helped to approach some of this material with a critical eye, the better they will be able to make independent judgements and resist undue persuasion. Key features of this book include: • Short texts designed to give opportunities for critical examination, created to be points of discussion with individuals, groups or whole classes • Topics covering seven areas of critical thought, ordered in level of difficulty, including finding contradictions, and detecting bias and fake news • Supporting teacher prompts and questions, as well as photocopiable resources without prompts The ability to question and evaluate information is an essential life skill, as well as a key skill for academic learning, yet it remains one of the most challenging aspects of comprehension to teach. This is a vital text for teachers, teaching assistants and other professionals looking to develop critical thinking skills in their students.
