This book was released on 2009 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While cross-age reading practices are often utilized in schools, there has been limited research on the effects of this commonly used practice. Research has focused on cross-age tutoring, in which older students are trained to work with younger students on reading activities. However, many teachers do not train older students prior to their participation in cross-age reading programs. The purpose of the current study was to examine if a cross-age reading program, in which older students are paired with younger students and asked to read (without training), would have a positive impact on reading attitudes. Forty-five 5th grade students participated in a cross-age reading program and their reading attitudes were assessed before and after their participation in the program. Home reading environment was also included as a factor. Results indicated there was no significant change in reading attitudes for older students who participated in the cross-age reading program. There were no significant main effects of participation or home reading environment, and no interaction effects. Older students should be trained prior to working with younger students in order for cross-age reading practices to be more effective. Further research is needed on cross-age reading practices to truly understand their value.

Download or read book Digital Literacies written by Colin Lankshear and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a group of internationally-reputed authors in the field of digital literacy. Their essays explore a diverse range of the concepts, policies and practices of digital literacy, and discuss how digital literacy is related to similar ideas: information literacy, computer literacy, media literacy, functional literacy and digital competence. It is argued that in light of this diversity and complexity, it is useful to think of digital literacies - the plural as well the singular. The first part of the book presents a rich mix of conceptual and policy perspectives; in the second part contributors explore social practices of digital remixing, blogging, online trading and social networking, and consider some legal issues associated with digital media.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, the effects of cross age tutoring compared with sustained silent reading were assessed in second grade students. The students in this study were in a self contained second grade classroom. The second graders participating in cross age tutoring were two above grade level readers, two at grade level readers and two below grade level readers. Each of these second graders was paired with a fifth grade student who had received some basic training in how to prompt the second grader while reading. The remaining students in the class participated in sustained silent reading for the same twenty four week period. All of the students' reading fluency and word reading abilities were assessed both before and after the duration of their particular reading activity. The cross age tutoring lasted for a twenty four week period during which the students were observed and anecdotal notes were taken. Results of the pre and post assessments showed that overall, both sustained silent reading as well as cross age tutoring increased student reading abilities when assessed with the Frye Oral Reading Test for fluency as well as the San Diego Quick leveled word list assessment. Cross age tutoring and sustained· silent reading may also have benefits in students' affective attitudes toward reading, causing them to view it as a positive activity.
