Events Archives Contents Literacy Literacy in SIL distinctively focuses on developing programs in lesser-known and endangered languages and emphasizes using the mother tongue as the gateway to basic literacy. SIL's vision for language programs is to see literacy become a sustainable community value with the ownership of literacy goals and activities in the hands of the people. The latest additions to the literacy site. Issues in Literacy Compelling global literacy issues include: illiteracy's staggering statistics, education of marginalized minorities, language of instruction, language preservation, poverty, women's education, and alphabets for previously unwritten languages. Mother Tongue Literacy Programs SIL fieldworkers partner with community members to develop programs that train local literacy workers and promote the mother tongue in formal and informal education settings. Multilingual Education Programs Certain contexts may require developing multilingual programs to promote literacy in the first language and also provide access to a language of wider communication. Other contexts require a transition from national language literacy to local language literacy.

The National Research Council's study "Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children" states that children who are exposed to reading at an early age make the symbol/language connection and are more likely to be reading at the appropriate age level by the end of third grade. The Literacy Center aims to provide safe learning activities for parents and teachers to share with young children. It follows a modified Montessori approach to teaching reading. As a pre and early reading curriculum, it assumes that each online lesson will be supported by appropriate offline instruction, either at home or in school. Parents and Teachers The Parent and Teacher section is divided into subject areas. In this section, lessons can be chosen for specific purposes. As the Literacy Center grows, it will add more learning activities as well as native language instructions for parents and teachers. Teaching a Second Language For children who do not speak English as a first language, the LiteracyCenter.Net provides an excellent environment for practicing basic pre and early reading skills. Since the goal is to encourage self-esteem, it is recommended that children be thoroughly familiar with basic skills in their first language before beginning the systematic study of a second language.

Hunger in the United States Hunger Public Attitudes Toward Hunger National Statistics ... Hunger Studies Health Consequences of Hunger Hunger and undernutrition contribute to a number of negative health consequences: A joint analysis released by the Center on Hunger and Poverty at Brandeis University and the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) shows how hunger and obesity not only pose separate and distinct health risks, but also can co-exist in the same household. According to FRAC's survey of families living below 185 percent of poverty the Community Childhood Hunger Identification Project (CCHIP) hungry children suffer from two to four times as many individual health problems, such as unwanted weight loss, fatigue, headaches, irritability, inability to concentrate and frequent colds, as low-income children whose families do not experience food shortages. This relationship between hunger and health problems was unaffected by income. In other words, hunger had a strong effect on children's health no matter what the income level of their families. According to CCHIP, hungry children are more likely to be ill and absent from school.

Contents Introduction and Background The Need for the Proposed Project Project Goals Project Plan Summary ... Footnotes and References Cited Project Examples work more forcibly on the mind than precepts. Joseph Andrews, by Henry Fielding Introduction and Background "Information Literacy" has become a hot topic in education circles in the 1990's, but it is not a trend on the educational scene that will fade away. Rather, information literacy has emerged as a critical aspect of education as a result of the accumulation of a number of developments in library services and higher education. These developments can be categorized under four rubrics: library instruction, educational reform and student use of learning resources (print, mediated, electronic), use of technology, and assessment. The concept of information literacy has created some controversy because its nature continues to evolve. The central elements, however, seem clear. Information literacy implies a conscious and systematic attention to developing the capacity to define effectively an information need, use research tools and processes to identify and locate such information, assess it, learn from it, and communicate an analysis and synthesis of the information in

139. Visual Literacy Information about a collaborative program between the departments of art and art history, textiles and clothing design, and the college of human resources for beginning art and design students at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. http://www.unl.edu/finearts/vislit.html

Three colleges collaborate for innovative Visual Literacy Lincoln, Nebr.The Department of Art and Art History, in collaboration with the College of Architecture's architecture and interior design programs, and the College of Human Resources and Family Sciences's Department of Textiles and Clothing Design, have established the Visual Literacy program for beginning art and design students. "By unifying the curriculum with respect to the first-year experience and delivering basic knowledge, we are eliminating duplication of effort and are enriching the curriculum by unifying the three complementary visions of what basic foundation design is all about," said Dept. of Art and Art History Chairman Joseph M. Ruffo. Visual Literacy refers to a collection of courses that are required of all students in studio art, pre-architecture, pre-interior design, and textiles and clothing design. This collection consists of studio courses and lecture courses taken each semester of the freshman year. As a result of taking these courses, students will have a new awareness of their surroundings and the potential visual images and constructed artifacts have for organizing and expressing ideas. "We hope the students will come out more broadly prepared," Ruffo said. "And during their sophomore year in their choice of major, the students should be able to hit the ground running."
