National Jewish Coalition for Literacy The NJCL is the Jewish community's vehicle for participation in the Department of Education childhood literacy initiative known as the America Reads Challenge. Begun in 1997, the NJCL has pledged to mobilize 100,000 Jewish volunteers as part of the national effort. As of the fall of 1999, local affiliates are operating in 26 cities across the country, and many more are expected to come on board in the months to come. To find out if there's an affiliate near you, check the list on this website. If there’s no contact person for your city, call your local Jewish federation, or call the NJCL directly at 212/545-9215 (or email us at mailto:njcl@worldnet.att.net Public Schools Many local public schools use volunteers to read to small groups of young children, or to read or tutor one child on a regular basis (i.e. once a week). This can be a fairly demanding time commitment many programs ask that you commit to a semester or yearlong experience. To find out if there's a suitable program near you, call the school superintendent's office, or perhaps the principal of a particular school. For an easy-to-use tutoring program "Read*Write*Now," a joint project of Hadassah and the Department of Education call Hadassah's office of public outreach at 212/303-8042. Reach Out and Read This is a Pediatric Clinic-based literacy program that seeks to make books and literacy "as common a part of pediatric primary care as immunizations." Volunteer opportunities include reading to children (in the waiting room) and organizing a book drive. In most instances volunteering for a ROR site can be done on a more sporadic basis.

    Extractions: Early elementary school-aged children benefit from rich, stimulating environments in which literacy activities are woven in throughout the school day. They benefit from a literacy program that includes direct instruction in all aspects of reading and writing along with many opportunities to practice their skills. Consider these 10 simple tips for finding or evaluating an environment that will foster first-graders' or readers' and writers' language and literacy development. Does the classroom use a balanced reading program? A balanced reading program is one that includes phonics instruction, or instruction in letter-sound associations and word patterns, practice in recognizing common words automatically, and instruction in decoding, or how to figure out unknown words. In addition, a balanced reading program includes instruction in oral reading for accuracy and fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Community/Employer Site Search Search Help Literacy Activities for Parents Back to Main Literacy Page Oral Language Development Strengthens Reading - The following list contains suggestions for how to make reading to children more beneficial: Read the title, names of the author and illustrator, and dedication to the children. Tell them what the author and illustrator do. Look through some of the pictures in the book and ask what they think the book will be about. Have fun while you read. Let them see that reading is enjoyable. As you read the words out loud, move your finger under the print. This helps children understand that the printed words, not just the pictures, are telling the story. It also helps them learn that the print goes from the left side to the right side of the page and from top to bottom of the page. Stop periodically, look at, and briefly talk about the pictures. Ask the children to guess what they think will happen next. Discuss any words, ideas, and situations that are unfamiliar.

    http://www.putnamcityschools.org/cms/sectionID231.HTML
    
    Extractions: Despite the number of school districts around the nation that are going to a year-round school schedule, the nine-month school calendar will probably be the norm for a long time to come. Students and their families look forward to su mmer vacation time, and frankly, so do teachers. However, teachers are aware of one disadvantage of students’ three-month break from the books — the need for a certain amount of reteaching when classes convene in the fall. Families can cut down on some of this review time if they stay engaged in learning all summer long. Reading and writing activities can keep minds in shape as well as provide entertainment. Research shows that the amount of reading we do is just as important or more important than the quality of what we read in maintaining our reading skills. With that in mind, don’t worry too much if kids don’t want to check out "the classics" for their self-paced summer reading program. Just encourage them to keep reading, be it comic books, fan magazines, or computer software manuals. Eyes that avoid the printed word for 12 weeks have a hard time focusing when school begins. Libraries, retail booksellers, and Putnam City Schools all have a range of programs that can engage children in reading activities. These opportunities are just a phone call away.

    Extractions: Help students understand why and how to keep records (e.g. reading logs); review procedures often Home Lesson One Lesson Two Lesson Three ... Lesson Nine Lesson Ten Lesson Eleven Lesson Twelve Lesson Thirteen About the Author ... References Often times, we, as teachers, ask students to do things without sufficiently explaining to them why they are necessary or helpful. Keeping written logs of reading or any type of literacy activities is an excellent way to monitor progress and help students become witnesses to their own growth. However, without explaining the reason and vision behind such record keeping, often it will not get done. With the time constraints that family literacy class participants face it is often all they can do to attend classes. Time spent outside of class needs to seem worth it to them. Decide the why behind record keeping activities, share that with your students, and review these reasons often; students, like teachers, often forget or get off-track.
