Colorado Department of Education Welcome to Literacy Connections! This is a new resource brought to you by the Colorado Department of Education’s Literacy Consortium. This site is intended to provide all audiences with information about CDE’s literacy initiatives, contacts, grant opportunities, conferences, and internal and external web links. Our Mission Statement: Every Colorado student will be a successful reader. What Is Literacy? Literacy is a complex phenomenon commonly defined as the ability to read and write, but made up of many subsets of skills including alphabetic skills, phonemic awareness, decoding and encoding skills. Social and cultural factors influence how literacy is developed and used. Central to the goal of literacy, however, is the ability to take meaning from print and to use print to communicate.

Literacy in the Information Age: Campus Honors Class CHP 295 Meeting Time: Tuesdays, 5-8pm Room: English 59a This is a capstone course that draws on students' experience throughout their undergraduate program to discuss a series of themes such as community, the political sphere and education which have been impacted by the new information technologies. A series of lecturers from across campus (including Commerce, Religious Studies, History, English and the Graduate School of Library and Information Science [GSLIS]) will lead two week modules that speak to the question of what the well-educated citizen needs to know and understand about information technology in order to be a good citizen. There will be a series of approaches taken, from linguistic analysis to critical theory to historical overviews. Professors Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star from GSLIS will coordinate the class and ensure continuity. Please consult them about any administrative problems, general concerns about assignments or the class. Individual unit instructors will post office hours for each unit. Grading: At the start of each unit, the instructor will give you one assignment, with due date, description of available resources, and their office hours and contact information. They will grade it and it will also be marked by Profs. Star and Bowker (in order to provide continuity throughout the semester). The final grade will be averaged from all assignments. There is no final exam or final term paper required.

Literacy Engagements Lessons on ReadWriteThink can be sorted by literacy engagements so that teachers can highlight specific language functions in the classroom. Following M. A. K. Halliday's model, lessons are designed to engage students in authentic and meaningful language learning (1982). Literacy engagements simultaneously involve learning language (as students listen to it and use it with others in their everyday lives), learning about language (as students try to figure out how it works, engage with their teachers in focused instruction on how it works or in critiquing its impact), and learning through language (as students use it to learn about or do something). Learning Language Learning About Language Learning Through Language Using language and other sign systems as ways of making meaning Understanding how language works, including word play, the teaching of letter-sound relationships and spelling or grammar patterns, or analysis of texts Using reading and writing as a tool for exploration or for purposes of learning about or critiquing our world read aloud partner reading with big books building fluency readers theater independent reading journal writing sketch-to-stretch reading log writer's notebook poetry prewriting word study comprehension strategies strategy instruction mini-lessons word walls think aloud guided reading process drama spelling phonics story grammar word play critiquing the media, advertisements, and other everyday texts

ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Snow, Catherine E. - Burns, M. Susan - Griffin, Peg Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Elementary and Early Childhood Education Champaign IL. Language and Literacy Environments in Preschools. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Children live in homes that support literacy development to differing degrees. Because of this variation in the home environment, many children need high-quality preschool and school environments and excellent primary instruction to be sure of reading success. This Digest discusses the research on preschool literacy environments and their contributions to reading skills development. This research has important implications for those who are making instructional, programmatic, or policy decisions that may affect children's preschool literacy environments. PROGRAM QUALITY OF PRESCHOOLS STUDIES OF LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENTS IN PRESCHOOLS Finally, Neuman (1996) studied the literacy environment in child care programs. Day care providers were targeted because of their role in providing care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers; in many situations, the language and literacy needs of these children are not the caretakers' primary concern. Traditional caretaking tasks, such as keeping children safe, fed, and clean, are often the main focus. Yet many of these children are in special need of early language stimulation and literacy learning.

Click here for 2003-2004 Volunteer Evalution Form "If Jews have a surplus of anything, it's literacy." Leonard Fein, Founder, National Jewish Coalition for Literacy Welcome to the Greater Boston Jewish Coalition for Literacy! Did You Know? 40% of American 4 th graders read below grade level. 40 million adults in the U.S. can’t read a simple story to a child. Less than 50% of families read to their kindergarten children on a daily basis. Students who are tutored in reading have shown positive results in self-confidence as readers and motivation to read. Two-thirds of American classrooms have fewer than 50 children’s books, and almost 60% of childcare centers buy fewer than one book per child a year. The Greater Boston Jewish Coalition for Literacy, together with community-based partners, aims to ensure that all children learn to read by the end of third grade. Hundreds of volunteers have joined the coalition by becoming reading tutors, organizing community-wide book drives, and advocating for improved public education. To learn more about the Coalition
