Rebecca Silverman is an expert in how humans learn to read. It's a complex process, she says. First we must connect letters and sounds to decode words in texts. Researchers know a lot about the decoding process and how to teach it. But, beyond that, we must also comprehend what the words in texts are conveying. Comprehension is complex, and researchers know much less about the comprehension process and how to teach it, Silverman tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Episode Reference Links: Rebecca Silverman's Research Lab: Language to Literacy LabConnect With Us:Episode Transcripts >>> The Future of Everything WebsiteConnect with Russ >>> Threads or Twitter/XConnect with School of Engineering >>> Twitter/XChapters:(00:00:00) Introduction to Reading Challenges Host Russ Altman introduces guest Rebecca Sliverman and her research into the complexities of reading.(00:03:53) Decoding vs. Comprehension The breakdown of reading into decoding and comprehension, the challenges associated with each, and the lifelong process of improving these skills.(00:07:18) Variability in Learning to Read  How children learn to read, including the impacts of linguistic comprehension, memory and socio-emotional contexts.(00:09:55) Cross-Cultural Differences in Reading The variability of reading acquisition across languages and cultures, highlighting the components of reading that vary in their developmental trajectory.(00:11:35) Research Challenges and Interventions in Reading Current research on the challenges of reading, particularly in identifying and supporting children with difficulties.(00:15:03) The Role of Technology in Reading The impact of technology on reading, the differences between reading on paper and digital formats, and the potential of educational technology in literacy development.(00:20:38) Importance of Family in Reading DevelopmentHow families play a role in early reading, with emphasis on storytelling and culturally relevant practices. (00:23:52) Challenges for Teachers in Literacy EducationResponsibilities of teachers in teaching literacy and the need for comprehensive support and training for teachers.(00:27:44) Future Directions and the Potential of AI Future research on AI in literacy education, and the importance of human oversight in technological interventions.(00:29:29) Conclusion  Connect With Us:Episode Transcripts >>> The Future of Everything WebsiteConnect with Russ >>> Threads or Twitter/XConnect with School of Engineering >>> Twitter/X

Imagine being a learner who is new to English. Someone says to you, "Can you lend me a hand?” Imagine what that learner is processing. First, it's a question. Second, think about the word lend. Do I know what that means? Third, lend a hand. Does that mean they literally want one of my hands? In just one sentence, we've highlighted the essentials of language acquisition. A well-developed vocabulary is not only important in our conversations but also in the academic setting. For our challenged learners with dyslexia, their listening and speaking vocabulary might be very good, but when it comes to reading and writing, that's where they need further support. In this episode, we're going to dig into the eight essential components of vocabulary instruction under the lens of literacy intervention. 200K Giveaway!

The end of the school year is rapidly approaching here in the United States. For many children, the end of the school year can bring about stress and uncertainty. Many of our students have feelings of anxiety - they may be a bit more anxious than excited about the end of the school year. Typically, the school year helps our students to establish positive routines and relationships that support them. A change in these routines can often trigger stress responses, especially in our students who learn differently. In this episode, we'll discuss signs and behaviors you should be looking for in your children as the school year comes to a close. We'll also cover appropriate summer practice for your children with learning challenges. Tune in for our top tips for finishing this school year strong, especially if you feel like your child is suffering from the end of the year blues!

About the Hearing Matters Podcast The Hearing Matters Podcast discusses hearing technology (more commonly known as hearing aids), best practices, and a growing national epidemic - Hearing Loss. The show is hosted by father and son - Blaise Delfino, M.S. - HIS and Dr. Gregory Delfino, CC, located in Bethlehem, Nazareth, and East Stroudsburg, PA. C-A. Blaise Delfino and Dr. Gregory Delfino treat patients with hearing loss at Audiology Services. The Effects of Hearing Loss on Literacy Development In this episode Blaise Delfino discusses how hearing loss affects a child's ability to learn to speak with Lindy Powell, a teacher of the deaf and a reading specialist. The ability to hear is imperative to learning to speak and read. There are five areas in reading development. They are phonological/phonemic awareness, phonetics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Phonological/phonemic awareness enables a child to hear the syllables through listening. They apply those listening skills to developing a vocabulary. When they are fluent, they use the same skill set to speak with the correct inflection and at the correct rate of speed. Eventually the learn to comprehend what they are reading. Each step builds on the next. Missing Certain SoundsIf a child has a high-frequency hearing loss, he/she may not hear important consonant sounds, like f, s, or t, for example. Because these sounds don't get to the brain, the child may think the word Frank is really Ank. Also if the s on the end of a word is missing, the entire meaning of the word may change. An example is if a child asks for more than one thing. A child with hearing loss does not get the input they need for phonetic development.What Can Parents Do?There is a lot of research that shows children should have access to sound as early as possible. Some mothers even talk/read to their babies in utero. Sound helps develop speaking and listening skills and social skills. Strong vocabulary skills set children up for success. If a child is not developing speaking skills, intervention as early as possible is recommended.Reading actual books at least 20 minutes a day with your child is also a way to enhance language skills. Reading online is not as effective. It's recommended that children's screen time should be limited, even if he/she is reading. There are simple steps to providing early listening.1.     Make reading a priority. Make sure your child sees and hears you read things like the mail, magazines, and cookbooks. Also let them see you writing things, like notes for the store or daily reminders.2.     If you can't find 20 minutes a day, which is often the case, be sure the time you spend reading/talking with your child is quality time. Set it aside and use it without interruption.3.     Don't compare your child's reading/listening skills to other kids, especially if he/she is not as advanced as kids the same age. Celebrate the progress the child makes.4.     Lean on the professionals. They are there to help you. Ask questions and follow their advice, and most importantly, try to limit your anxiety and your child's. For more information on improving listening/reading skills go to “listenlittles” on Instagram.

Literacy, a piece of education that shows up in all the subjects we teach. From English class to story problems in math literacy is literally everywhere in education. When students struggle to read, it can make several other tasks difficult to do as well. How do we build strong literacy skills in our students to help them embrace their learning instead of struggling with the words? Here are six easy literacy development strategies for teachers.

What factors contribute to the development of literacy skills in adolescence? On this episode of the Alliance for Excellent Education’s Critical Window podcast, Dr. Medha Tare breaks down what research on the science of adolescent learning says about the development of literacy skills during adolescence, and how educators can support this development. Tare is a senior research scientist for the Learner Variability Project at Digital Promise, where she leads the synthesis of research on the cognitive, social-emotional, and student background factors that affect K-12 learning. Specifically, Tare studies the factors that affect how children and adults acquire new skills and knowledge including individual differences, learning environment, and the medium through which they learn. She shares these factors and how Digital Promise’s Learning Variability Project helps students, parents, and educators navigate literacy development on Critical Window. What is Learner Variability? “Recognizing learner variability is something many teachers have tried to do for decades,” explains Tare on Critical Window.  “It's understanding in a whole-child way a students' challenges and strengths and then tailoring instruction to meet each learner's needs.” What does this look like in practice? Tare shares an example: “One learner may struggle with working memory, their ability to hold information in mind and kind of manipulate it. But is this challenge a learning difference, or is it because they're getting too little sleep? Maybe they're taking care of younger siblings while their single mom works the night shift. So research supports both assumptions and we also show strategies for working with students in both situations.” Learner Variability vs. Learning Styles There is a difference between learner variability and what many know as “learning styles.” Research does not support the existence of learning styles, or “the idea that learners have a particular modality like visual or auditory where they learn best,” explains Tare. Instead, learner variability is steeped in research of factors that matter in learning. “These could be students' attention abilities, how much exercise they're getting, the safety of their neighborhood, and building block skills such as background knowledge,” says Tare. “We know that these factors interact with each other, so we know that greater physical fitness can improve attention and focus in the classroom.” Why Does Learner Variability Matter for Adolescents? There are specific learner factors that predict successful literacy outcomes, including argumentative reasoning, disciplinary literacy, and critical literacy, explains Tare. “Those are skills that are developing and really coming online for adolescents at this age.” But, there are also other factors at play for adolescents, including identity exploration, cultural lenses, and changes in motivation. “Students are now using those foundational reading and writing skills that they developed in elementary and middle school to build knowledge and then write and read authentic text and write for authentic audiences and purposes that are meaningful to them, that motivate them,” says Tare.

Research shows young children who are read to three or more times a week are nearly twice as likely to show advanced literacy skills. The Governor's Book From Birth Foundation works to promote early childhood literacy for children in Tennessee between birth and 5-years-old. As of January 7, 2020 the foundation is now known as the Governor's Early Literacy Foundation. In a partnership with Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, the foundation works to give every preschooler in Tennessee the opportunity to receive free books in the mail! The foundation's president, Jame Pond, sits down with Roots and Wings host, Jonquil Newland, to discuss the foundation's work and future reading initiatives.

Episode 2 Reveals the Language to Literacy Model  and highlights the fact that there is a learning sequence that must take place for children to become good readers. In this podcast I reveal the 7 steps to literacy success. Too often, regular reading programs skip the first two steps, which include crucial skills for beginner readers. With each step forming a strong foundation for the next, it's important to understand this developmental sequence. Explore our website for more information www.theliteracycollective.com

This is a presentation that explores the changing nature of literacy across the various stages of literacy development. In so doing, we discuss how instruction must change as learners consolidate core skills and prepare for new skills and expectations. Teaching routines for the various stages of literacy development are also discussed. Please explore and enjoy! Presentation slides are available for download at https://www.theliteracybug.com/s/Teaching-Routines-Stages.pdf

The presentation explores the many components of literacy development, the stages of literacy development, and the dual-demands of "code-based" and "meaning-based" practices. To be exact, it sets out to meet the following objectives: (a) to explore the components of literacy development (e.g. oral language development, phonemic awareness, etc); (b) to explore the stages of literacy development (i.e. the gradual, cumulative nature of literacy development); (c) to understand the difference between code-based skills and meaning-based skills; (d) to understanding the four levels of processing texts / reading text; and (e) to appreciate that learners are active participants as the makers of meaning, the constructors of knowledge and members of communities.

This presentation reports on a three-year development project to use the metalanguage of systemic functional linguistics to support children's disciplinary learning in the language arts classroom. The work is situated in a high poverty urban school district with a majority population of English language learners. Following professional development, teachers engaged children in using the metalanguage to make language-meaning connections in reading and writing instruction. Discourse analysis of classroom events demonstrates the affordances of the metalanguage and suggests directions for further research.

Josh Rogen, Editorial Assistant for Urban Education, interviews Alfred Tatum, of the University of Illinois at Chicago, about his article, “African American Males and Literacy Development in Contexts that are Characteristically Urban” for the March 2012 issue.

The term “achievement gap” refers to the disparities in academic achievement between different groups of students. Across the United States, gaps in academic achievement persist between ethnic groups, socioeconomic classes, and genders. These achievement gaps are one of the most pressing education-policy challenges that schools currently face, and directly affect the future of our nation. How did these gaps originate, and how can we bridge them? Our four panelists discussed the history, causes, and possible solutions for the racial achievement gap in California K-12 schools, with an emphasis on literacy and the language arts. Featured panelists: * Carrie Donovan – Director of BUILD (Berkeley United in Literacy Development), UC Berkeley * Andrew Dubin – Professor, Graduate College of Education, San Francisco State University * Emma Fuentes – Professor, School of Education, University of San Francisco * Stephanie Sisk-Hilton – Professor, Graduate College of Education, San Francisco State University This program was co-sponsored by Writer-Coach Connection Berkeley and the University Library's Free Speech Movement Cafe Educational Programs Committee.
