Prescription for Literacy: Providing Critical Educational Experiences. ERIC Digest. EARLY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES EARLY READING INSTRUCTION ELEMENTARY SCHOOLING EXPERIENCES In regard to elementary schooling experiences in general, the RDF Study (Siegel, 1987; 1990) found that those students who participated in activities and classes with an academic emphasis, and avoided remedial classes and/or repeating grades, had higher achievement levels than those who did not. The more classes and situations in which students participated that had an academic and/or accelerated emphasis (including skipping a grade or double promotion), as opposed to a non-academic and/or remedial or developmental emphasis, the higher their reading achievement was in their senior year of high school. More specifically, those students who spent more time in writing stories or papers, doing math problems, reading books, working on science projects, and/or working on spelling and language lessons had good school attendance records and high levels of reading achievement. SECONDARY EXPERIENCES At the secondary schooling level, those students who spent more time in organized extracurricular activities such as academic clubs, athletic teams, student government, band, and/or special lessons, had higher reading achievement scores as seniors than those who spent more time in unorganized extracurricular activities such as watching TV, talking on the phone, or hanging out at the mall. Also, the students who were programmed through an academic track, as opposed to a vocational track, and/or those who took more than one year of high school math, science, and foreign language courses had better reading skills at the end of their senior year of high school than those who did not. Finally, those students who spent less time working in part-time jobs, paid or unpaid, had better reading skills than students who worked more.

Home page For parents For educators Background information ... About Reading in kindergarten Reading is a process of getting meaning from print. Early reading includes the direct teaching of words and sounds. Children must be able to distinguish between different sounds of oral language for the purposes of achieving understanding. They also need basic knowledge about the written alphabet, sound-symbol relationships, and concepts of print because these are the basis for decoding and reading comprehension skills. How reading relates to ELLs For English language learners (ELLs), learning to read in their primary language is easier because it builds on the words and sound structures of the language they know best. However, children at the kindergarten level are little sponges who learn what they are taught. If they are taught to read in two languages simultaneously, they will learn. If they are taught to read in English only, they will learn. The key to learning to read (and preventing reading difficulties in one or two languages) is excellent instruction. Excellent instruction for pre-reading skills consists of: vocabulary development phonemic awareness knowledge of the alphabet letter-sound correlation concepts of print listening comprehension decoding comprehension skills Classroom strategies: Pre-reading and reading Oral language activities Before doing an activity or reading a story in class, teach pre-selected vocabulary words. This is always helpful, especially for ELLs. This will give them the chance to identify the word, place it in context, and remember it. You can pre-teach vocabulary by playing with words and using English as a second language (ESL) methods such as:

Many of the activities are designed in a game format, played either by partners or in small groups. Others are designed to be used in a whole class arrangement while some are for independent practice. Many of the activities are also appropriate for homework to give the students additional review of basic skills. This unit is filled with Blackline Masters to make it easy for you to use these activities tomorrow and then again and again year after year.
