Exposing people to reading and writing by Delle P. Matthews Anne Klaassens (contributor) Leah B. Walter (contributor) Ken Boothe (contributor) Trudy K. Stewart (general editor) Introduction People who live in communities without a history of literacy need to be exposed to the concepts of reading and writing. They need to understand that reading and writing are forms of communication. Materials It may be difficult to find enough reading materials to use if none have been developed yet in the language. Be creative. Here are some ideas for materials you can use to expose people to reading and writing: Books, magazines, and other materials in other languages to look at and handle Letters Pictures, drawings, and photographs Simple hand-written language learning texts Stories people tell you Test copies of newly produced materials Guidelines Here are some guidelines to follow when you expose people to reading and writing: Begin informal activities as soon as you arrive in a community, when interest is high. Do the activities in a relaxed atmosphere, wherever and whenever you can. Encourage local people to do informal literacy activities together with their friends and families, especially if they know something about reading and writing.

The Daily Parent Home A Newsletter for Working Parents Spring 1999 Raising a Reader - Orville Prescott, from A Father Reads To His Children Nurturing a love for reading literacy Help your child learn to love reading. The key is to start early. Read out loud to your child regularly Another important activity for promoting literacy is using the library. Get a library card for each child and go often to select new books. Check with the librarian to find what is appropriate. Take the time to look at your daily activities and help your child see the connection to reading and writing . Cooking, reading food labels, playing word games, and writing stories can be helpful too. Give it the time it deserves . You may get tired of reading the same stories again and again but it is that repetition that is so important for your child. Children see adults around them writing and reading messages, notes, articles or books. This often makes them want to say their ideas out loud so you can write them down. At preschool age or older, children begin to write, using their own invented spelling or best guess.

REID LYON CHIEF CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND BEHAVIOR BRANCH NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF CHILD HEALTH AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH 9000 ROCKVILLE PIKE BETHESDA, MD 20892 Committee on Labor and Human Resources Room 430 Senate Dirkson Building Washington, DC April 28, 1998 OVERVIEW OF READING AND LITERACY INITIATIVES I am Dr. Reid Lyon, the Chief of the Child Development and Behavior Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development at the National Institutes of Health. I am pleased to have the opportunity to present to you information about the results of the extensive research that our Institute has supported on the process of learning to read in our Nation's schools. Chairman Jeffords and members of the committee, some children learn to read and write with ease. Even before they enter school, they have developed an understanding that the letters on a page can be sounded out to make words and some preschool children can even read words correctly that they have never seen before and comprehend what they have read. As Marilyn Adams has reported, before school, and without any great effort or pressure on the part of their parents, they pick up books, pencils, and paper, and they are on their way, almost as though by magic. However, the magic of this effortless journey into the world of reading is available to only about 5% of our nation's children. It is suggested in the research literature that another 20% to 30% learn to read relatively easily once exposed to formal instruction, and it seems that youngsters in this group learn to read in any classroom, with any instructional emphasis.

Return to Main satisfaction survey AAC-RERC Development Project D3 www.aac-rerc.com Improving Literacy Technologies for School-Age Children with Severe Physical Disabilities Lead Institution: University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill PURPOSE The primary purpose of this research project was to examine the literacy activities of students and teachers across grade levels (1, 3, 5, and 7). This study investigated how teachers engaged in reading and writing instruction and ways in which students participated in literacy events at different grade levels. A secondary purpose of this project was to determine the types of reading materials and writing genres used by students across grades. TARGET POPULATION Children with severe physical disabilities. PROBLEM PROGRESS Project D3-1: Literacy Software Tool Research - We completed the survey and analysis of literacy activities by grade level and conducted expert ratings of activity quality. We reviewed the literature regarding writing development, cognitive models, and exemplary instruction; and examined existing software tools for software specifications, interface layout, and writing processes addressed. We also conducted a study of early conventional writers. Data collection is complete and analysis will be complete in Spring 2002. The final data is being linked to the software tool content.
