Download or read book English Learners and the Secret Language of School written by Jan Pilgreen and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For older immigrant students, school presents greater challenges with second-language proficiency than younger ones--they have more to achieve and less time to do it." With Janice Pilgreen's help you'll let them in on the Secret Language of School just in time to change their lives and narrow the achievement gap in your classroom. "Teachers may view themselves as subject-matter experts and not reading teachers," but as Janice Pilgreen notes, "Today we're all being asked to provide access to the core curriculum for all students." She shows how to plan literacy strategies into your teaching so that: comprehension skills sharpen and engagement deepens, to the benefit of content retention; ELLs learn to demonstrate what they know in a wide variety of testing contexts; all students find ways into grade-level texts and meet content standards; English learners--and everyone in class--develop proficiency with vocabulary, sequencing, inferring, cause/effect, and other aspects of academic language. Even if you've never taught reading, Jan gives you every tool you'll need: classroom structures for instruction with individuals, small-groups, or the whole class; reproducible response pages and graphic organizers that help students apply literacy strategies; "testing links" for weaving in test preparation without interrupting curricular flow. Academic language is more than merely the key to unlocking content-area texts and improving comprehension. Read English Learners and the Secret Language of School and help English learners discover the secret that will improve their performance in school and open a world of new possibilities in their lives. --Publisher's description.
Download or read book Uncovering the Logic of English A Common Sense Solution to America s Literacy Crisis written by Denise Eide and published by Logic of English, Inc. This book was released on 2011-01-27 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "English is so illogical!" It is generally believed that English is a language of exceptions. For many, learning to spell and read is frustrating. For some, it is impossible... especially for the 29% of Americans who are functionally illiterate. But what if the problem is not the language itself, but the rules we were taught? What if we could see the complexity of English as a powerful tool rather than a hindrance? --Denise Eide Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining English spelling and answering questions like "Why is there a silent final E in have, large, and house?" and "Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?" With easy-to-read examples and anecdotes, this book describes: - the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words - how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development - how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess The author's inspiring commentary makes a compelling case that understanding the logic of English could transform literacy education and help solve America's literacy crisis. Thorough and filled with the latest linguistic and reading research, Uncovering the Logic of English demonstrates why this systematic approach should be as foundational to our education as 1+1=2.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking and listening are key elements of the primary English National Curriculum; they are also fundamental to children's language development and learning. The need for teachers to develop children's talk in its own right and also to use talk as a means of learning is central to effective primary practice, yet it is an area in which teachers often have little confidence. The contributors offer creative and practical advice on teaching speaking and listening from the early years through Key Stages 1 and 2, underpinned by theory into the approach. --from publisher description.

Download or read book Asd Unlocking Language written by Marion Blank and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is ASD Unlocking Language and what can it accomplish? ASD Unlocking Language is a program designed to teach effective language and communication to children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental conditions that affect language. Upon successful completion of the program, children are able to understand and talk about: past, present, and future events in their home life, such as eating, playing, bathing, and dressing past, present, and future events in the outside world, such as visits to the supermarket, a trip to the zoo, and activities at school simple stories and other early literacy skills Mastery of these skills enables children to become more active participants in the world around them. The program may be implemented by a parent, teacher, therapist, or other dedicated adult. Who is the program for? The program is for children who meet the following criteria: In language-the ability to say at least two words in sequence, either spontaneously or through imitation, such as "go home," "bye bye," "want cookie." While behaviors like these are fragmentary, they are significant indicators that the child has the perceptual and motor base required for spoken language. In behavior-the willingness to respond effectively to adult guidance. To benefit from language instruction, a child must be able to cooperate in the teaching process. If a foundation of cooperation is not yet present, it can be established through the behavioral program outlined in Spectacular Bond: Reaching the Child with Autism by Dr. Marion Blank, Dr. Suzanne Goh, and Susan Deland. It is advisable to postpone ASD Unlocking Language until the Spectacular Bond program has been completed. How is the program organized? ASD Unlocking Language is organized into short daily sessions lasting about 20 to 30 minutes each. Sessions take place once per day, four or five days per week. Skills taught in the lessons are also practiced outside the session in real-world settings. Depending on the child's skill and rate of progress, the full program takes from 6 to 18 months to complete. There are two components to the program: Pre-Language Skills and Language Skills.

Download or read book Unlocking the English Language written by R. W. Burchfield and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1992-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we grapple with an English language adapting and expanding faster than ever, Robert Burchfield offers a sane, humanistic, and historically illuminating account of how words enter our official vocabulary. In this lively collection of essays, he shows us that dictionaries, far from being static, are hotly contested social documents resulting from the interaction of the language, the lexicographer, and his times. Drawing on the author's thirty years' experience as the editor of the Supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary, this book gives us a firsthand account of the sorts of decisions lexicographers have confronted since Samuel Johnson's great dictionary (such as the uses of literary authority, the inclusion of "ethnic" vocabulary, the establishment of standard usage), as well as more contemporary issues, including the implications of compiling dictionaries in the computer age. There is also a wealth of insights into the history of our language, its rich past, and its potential future.--From publisher description.
