We're excited to expand our literacy programs to include Adolescent Literacy at I.S. 61! https://lnkd.in/eYxW3-RG #literacy #statenisland #socialservices
Our providers find SPELL-Links' strong #metalinguistic component and #multilinguistic strategies to be critical for supporting their #culturallydiverse and #linguisticallydiverse students' #literacy learning across multiple languages and dialects. For example, SPELL-Links strategy #12 "Invite the Relatives” is used to tap into and develop #semantic and #morphological knowledge in native English speakers for #decoding words and understanding the #meaning of unfamiliar words when reading and for accurate #spelling when writing. This same strategy is used to teach #Englishlanguagelearners how to leverage cognate relationships between their primary language and English. Other SPELL-Links #strategies address shared and non-shared #phonemes and #spellings across English and their primary language or dialect. This communicates to CLD students the very important message highlighted by this recently published article: “#bilingualism is an asset that enhances #literacy outcomes.” https://lnkd.in/eN6rHy-B

Found some surprising trends on D.C.'s 'reading crisis.' https://lnkd.in/evE22TTW #reading #education #literacy #teaching #naep #washingtondc #schools #workforce #educationalequity #educationinsights #teachertraining
Should #California schools stick strictly to phonics-based reading ‘science’? Literacy teacher and researcher Allison Briceño, Ed.D. writes in the Los Angeles Times that such a narrow approach fails to account for methods, including building context knowledge through other subjects, that empower #EnglishLearners to thrive. "Learning to read in this way would be like learning to pedal on a stationary bicycle and then being expected to ride a bike through L.A. traffic without understanding balance, steering, speed and the rules of the road. Some kids — especially more affluent ones — will already have some of those additional skills, but many others will not." #literacy #biliteracy #EdEquity #equity #Multilingual Read more:
The latest Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS, 2021) reveals a worrying trend: reading literacy among EU fourth graders is on the decline, with socio-economic status and gender gaps playing a big role. This is a reminder of how crucial early reading is for our children's future. At Daidream, we’re dedicated to fostering a love for reading and ensuring every child has access to quality stories that inspire and educate. Let’s unite in making reading a priority.
