Book Synopsis Teachers' Knowledge about Early Reading by : Joanne F. Carlisle
Download or read book Teachers' Knowledge about Early Reading written by Joanne F. Carlisle and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study developed a new survey of teachers' knowledge about early reading and examined the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement in Grades 1 to 3 in a large sample of Michigan schools. Using statistical models that controlled for teachers' personal and professional characteristics, students' prior reading achievement, and the clustering of high-knowledge teachers in schools and school districts with particular demographic composition, we found that the effects of teachers' knowledge about early reading on students' reading achievement were small. In 1st grade, students in classrooms headed by higher knowledge teachers performed better on year-end tests of reading comprehension but not word analysis. In 2nd and 3rd grades, the effects of teachers' knowledge on either measure of students' reading achievement were not statistically significant. Although the study suggests new forms of statistical analysis that might produce better estimates of the effects of teachers' knowledge on students' reading achievement, further research is needed to improve the conceptual and psychometric properties of measures of teachers' knowledge of reading and to investigate the relation of their knowledge and their instructional practices. Appended are: (1) Teachers' Knowledge about Reading and Reading Practices; and (2) Variables Included in the Propensity Score Analysis. (Contains 6 tables, 2 figures, and 6 footnotes.).
Book Synopsis Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children by : National Research Council
Download or read book Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1998-07-22 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive, technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the importance of these findings for the professional development of teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools, communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed. The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and other processes in normal reading development are discussed. Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades, including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials commonly used to teach reading.

Book Synopsis Observational Studies by : Paul R. Rosenbaum
Download or read book Observational Studies written by Paul R. Rosenbaum and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An observational study is an empirical investigation of the effects of treatments, policies, or exposures. It differes from an experiment in that the investigator cannot control the assignments of treatments to subjects. Scientists across a wide range of disciplines undertake such studies, and the aim of this book is to provide a sound statistical account of the principles and methods for the design and analysis of observational studies. Readers are assumed to have a working knowledge of basic probability and statistics, but otherwise the account is reasonably self-contained. Throughout there are extended discussions of actual observational studies to illustrate the ideas discussed. These are drawn from topics as diverse as smoking and lung cancer, lead in children, nuclear weapons testing, and placement programs for students. As a result, many researchers involved in observational studes will find this an invaluable companion to their work.

Book Synopsis Teachers’ Knowledge of Early Reading Development and Instruction by : Zainab Umar White
Download or read book Teachers’ Knowledge of Early Reading Development and Instruction written by Zainab Umar White and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite investment of resources in education across Nigeria, low rates of literacy among the student population continue to remain a concern. Previous research has suggested that one critical factor related to student reading achievement is teachers’ knowledge of reading development and instruction. Thus, the current study sought to explore knowledge of early literacy development and instruction among primary grade teachers in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, Nigeria. The data used in this study were collected through a secure Qualtrics survey between January and May 2022. Following thorough screening and cleaning of the survey data, the final sample included 391 primary grade teachers (58.82% female) from both the public (53.96%) and private sectors (46.04%). Overall, knowledge of primary grade teachers in FCT Abuja, Nigeria regarding reading instruction was low, with scores ranging between 4-24 on the 40-item teacher knowledge survey (TKS). Across three sections of the TKS, participants obtained mean scores of 3.73 (SD = 1.85) on 14 items related to pedagogy, 7.29 (SD = 2.65) on 21 items tapping foundational reading skills, and 0.93 (SD = 1.00) on 5 items tapping meaning making/comprehension. Private school teachers performed higher on the TKS (M = 13.30, SD = 4.25), compared to those in public schools (M = 10.80, SD = 3.08). When measuring teachers’ perceptions and beliefs about early reading instruction, there was a high level of endorsement of all statements, both those that were supported by evidence and those that were not. Most teachers in this sample reported that English was the language in which they first learned to read (85.42%) and their secondary school instruction was in English (95.91%). Finally, regression analyses were used to examine the relative influence of teachers’ professional characteristics on TKS score. Teaching certification, years of experience, and formal coursework were not statistically significant predictors of knowledge, while participation in professional development significantly predicted teachers’ TKS scores. Findings from this study have implications for understanding the teaching workforce in Nigeria and how this may support initiatives that attempt to improve teacher training, reading instruction, and the overall educational landscape

Book Synopsis So Much More Than the ABCs by : MOLLY F.. SCHICKEDANZ COLLINS (JUDITH A.)
Download or read book So Much More Than the ABCs written by MOLLY F.. SCHICKEDANZ COLLINS (JUDITH A.) and published by . This book was released on 2024-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation for success in learning to read and write begins in infancy. As early childhood professionals, we have both the opportunity and the privilege to shape the progress young children make in acquiring the literacy skills, oral language skills, and background knowledge vital to their later success in learning to read and write. By engaging infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in experiences that foster oral language and content knowledge, literacy skills, and cognitive ability, we build a foundation for children's later academic success. Promoting children's desire to read and write is as important as helping children develop the necessary understandings and skills essential for learning how to read and write. Without motivation, children will read and write relatively little and only what and when they must. This book addresses four main points: What children need to learn in these early years The strategies that teachers can use to help children acquire these foundations The features of emergent literacy and language understandings and skills How to design the physical environment in early childhood classrooms to support language and literacy learning This revision updates information, cites new research, and includes new figures. The newest edition of this bestselling book will help early childhood professionals and families support young children in acquiring the understandings, knowledge, and skills needed for later success in learning to read and write.
