Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The achievement of students of color continues to be disproportionately low at all levels of education. More than ever, Geneva Gay's foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in addressing the needs of today's diverse student population. Combining insights from multicultural education theory and research with real-life classroom stories, Gay demonstrates that all students will perform better on multiple measures of achievement when teaching is filtered through their own cultural experiences. This bestselling text has been extensively revised to include expanded coverage of student ethnic groups: African and Latino Americans as well as Asian and Native Americans as well as new material on culturally diverse communication, addressing common myths about language diversity and the effects of "English Plus" instruction.

What If? Mariana Souto-Manning is Associate Professor of Education in the Department of Curriculum and Teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University. “A profound, rich, and rewarding meditation and deep conversation with teachers fully engaging young children with culture, social history, and learning for the future. This wide-ranging book escapes temporal, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries. Read it and reflect on how you can take it into your own life of learning.” —Shirley Brice Heath, Professor Emerita, Stanford University “Early childhood educators will experience this unique book as a warm and detailed invitation to engage in multicultural education. The emphasis throughout is on “multi”—multiple pedagogical approaches, from culture circles to podcasts to story acting, and multiple cultural heritages embodied by active children and teachers. From a critical perspective and alongside creative teachers who aspire to be transformative, Souto-Manning links accessible theory with rich and thoughtful practices.” —Celia Genishi, Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University “Mariana Souto-Manning’s Multicultural Teaching in the Early Childhood Classroom rightly places the use of deficit thinking and ineffective teaching strategies in the wasteland of classroom instruction. The author superbly documents and explains ways of teaching multiculturally that will richly benefit the learning of all students and make teaching become the fun that teachers dreamed it would be when they first said, ‘I want to teach because I love kids.’” —Carl A. Grant, Hoefs-Bascom Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison “Multicultural Teaching in the Early Childhood Classroom encourages teachers to honor, affirm, and challenge even our very youngest children to think inclusively, critically, and democratically—a necessity if we are to help develop knowledgeable, caring, and empowered learners.” —Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Download or read book The Impact of Fourth graders Participation in the Reading Education Assistance Dog R E A D Program Has on Overall Reading Vocabulary Comprehension and Lexile Scores written by Sara Tamborello (Ed.D. candidate at the University of Hartford) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory case study was to examine if fourth-graders in an educational, after-school care program who participated in a Reading Education Assistance Dog (R.E.A.D.®) therapy program improved their overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores as assessed by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test (GMRT). Fourth-grade students who attended an educational, after-school care program at a rural elementary school in New England were the subjects of this study. There were eight participants in the study. Employing a quasi-experimental design, five participants in the experimental group participated in the R.E.A.D. ® program and three participants in the control group did not participate in the R.E.A.D.® program. The GMRT pretest and posttest scores of fourth-graders who participated in a ten-week R.E.A.D.® program were compared with the scores of fourth-graders who did not participate in a R.E.A.D. ® program prior to taking the GMRT posttest. The lens for this study was Meehan and Smith’s (2010) comparative case study “Reading Aloud to Dogs Improves Reading Skills and Self-Animal Perception Among School-Aged Children.” The authors found that third-grade children who read aloud to reading dogs improved their reading fluency by an average of 12% and children in various grades who were home-schooled improved by an average of 30%. This study sought to examine if reading aloud to dogs through participation in the R.E.A.D.® program also improved participants’ overall reading, vocabulary, comprehension, and Lexile® scores. Although slight growth was exhibited in all of the areas studied, the findings were not significant. One factor may have been the small sample size. However, teachers, administrators, and educational, afterschool care programs should be emboldened to bring the R.E.A.D.® program to work with struggling readers in their schools or programs.
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.
