61. Reading Rockets: What You Can Do to students read aloud, by organizing a reading incentive program 3. help a childget her first library card. adults tend to take libraries and library cards for http://www.readingrockets.org/whatyoucan.php

What You Can Do It's heartbreaking to realize that nearly 40 percent of fourth graders read below the basic level. It means that millions of nine year olds understand very little of what they read or can barely read at all. Is there anything we can do? Yes, there is! Below are some straightforward ways to help. These small efforts won't change the world, but they may make a difference in your corner of it. We hope you'll give these suggestions a try. Collect and donate books Tutor or read for one hour a week Help a child get her first library card Be a pen pal or organize some e-pals ... Donate to LD OnLine or another literacy organization 1. Collect and donate books Research has shown that kids need a "print-rich" environment. As much as possible, we should surround children with books and magazines so they have an opportunity to pick these materials up, look at the pictures, and see reading as a natural part of their lives. Children with low literacy levels often don't have written materials in their homes. You can help by collecting new or gently used children's books and donating them to a local daycare, preschool, homeless shelter, elementary school, afterschool program, or Boys and Girls Club. Do so on your own or, better yet, get a group involved. A book drive makes an excellent project for a Girl Scout or Boy Scout troop, church group, or other service organization.

What Does Research Say About Reading? R.A. Knuth and B.F. Jones NCREL, Oak Brook, 1991 In 1985, David Pearson referred to "the comprehension revolution." In essence, he was talking about the movement from traditional views of reading based on behaviorism to visions of reading and readers based on cognitive psychology. What follows in this section are major findings from cognitive psychology regarding: New and old definitions of the reading process. Important findings about reading and learning from cognitive science. Characteristics of poor and successful readers. Milestones in reading research. Characteristics of successful teaching/learning environments. Roles of schools and communities. These findings were developed by NCREL in collaboration with our Content Partner, the Center for the Study of Reading, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and the participants in Program 1, "Children as Strategic Readers." The traditional view of the learner as an "empty" vessel to be filled with knowledge from external sources is exemplified by this statue at the University of Leuven (Belgium). Old and New Definitions of Reading Traditional Views New Definition of Reading Research Base Behaviorism Cognitive sciences Goals of Reading Mastery of isolated facts and skills Constructing meaning and self-regulated learning Reading as Process Mechanically decoding words;

site="NYONE"; section="HOME"; Online Edition Friday, June 11, 2004 site="NYONE"; section="ASIA" Advertisments Tuesday, March 27, 2001 Literacy program provides confidential help for adults By Matthew Falconer Staff Writer Literacy Volunteers, a United Way agency, installed a display Monday in the Wilber Bank window on Main Street in Oneonta to raise awareness about literacy and the organization. "We provide volunteer tutors to help adults learn how to read or improve their reading," said Hella Viola, tutor-student coordinator for Literacy Volunteers. Many adults have hidden their inability to read and write for years by relying on a spouse or making excuses such as forgetting their glasses, Viola said. "It's embarrassing," she said. Adults have a more difficult time learning to read than children, but "it is doable," Viola said. Viola receives referrals for the literacy program through the Office of Employment and Training, the Arc Otsego and elsewhere. Applicants are interviewed and given a short test to determine their reading level. Then, Viola matches them with one of 58 volunteer tutors.

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Causes Who Is at Risk Symptoms ... Additional Reading Urinary tract infections are a serious health problem affecting millions of people each year. Infections of the urinary tract are commononly respiratory infections occur more often. Each year, urinary tract infections (UTI's) account for about 8 million doctor visits. Women are especially prone to UTI's for reasons that are poorly understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. The Urinary Tract The urinary system consists of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. The key players in the system are the kidneys, a pair of purplish-brown organs located below the ribs toward the middle of the back. The kidneys remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine, keep a stable balance of salts and other substances in the blood, and produce a hormone that aids the formation of red blood cells. Narrow tubes called ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, a triangle-shaped chamber in the lower abdomen. Urine is stored in the bladder and emptied through the urethra. The average adult passes about a quart and a half of urine each day. The amount of urine varies, depending on the fluids and foods a person consumes. The volume formed at night is about half that formed in the daytime.
