Listening and Literacy Index - A Group Test to Identify Specific Learning Difficulties, C. Weedon and G. Reid (2001) Hodder and Stoughton Publication comprises Test Forms, Teachers Handbook, and Specimen Set. Listening is a core skill within the English curriculum and the main medium for classroom learning, but it is difficult to assess objectively. The "Listening and Literacy Index" is a standardised test of listening, reading and spelling for use with class groups of six to nine-year-olds. It provides a diagnostic profile and norms, as well as detailed practical guidelines for scoring, interpretation and teaching follow-up. Parallel test forms A and B are designed to be used simultaneously, to minimise copying by pupils. This test is the product of four years development work and is standardised on a U.K. sample for children aged between 5.6 and 9.0. Eighty school were involved in the standardisation from 26 Education Authorites involving almost 3,000 children. The Index consists of four sub-tests - Listening which assesses the childs ability to understand spoken language; regular spelling which assesses phonological processing and memory; sight word spelling which assesses visual processing and memory and reading comprehension which assesses the ability to read silently for meaning. Some comments made by teachers involved in the standardisation include:

LISTENING AND LITERACY INDEX Charles Weedon , Head of Dyslexia Unit, George Watson's College, Edinburgh, and Gavin Reid , Senior Lecturer in Special Education, University of Edinburgh Group tests for profiling literacy development and identifying specific learning difficulties Order on approval Listening is a core skill within the English curriculum and the main medium for classroom learning, but it is difficult to assess objectively. The comprises linked, standardised tests of listening, reading and spelling, yielding a coherent profile of each pupil's attainments in each area, plus a powerful diagnostic analysis of how these key communicative skills are developing relative to each other. The spelling assessment probes each pupil's mastery of the fundamental units of literacy, both visual and phonological, while the reading comprehension test explores how swiftly and effectively a pupil may 'take meaning' from a text. Where performance levels on these tests vary, the discrepancy in either direction can provide unique insights into a pupil's preferred style and their strengths and weaknesses in processing written language. This spelling and reading profile can then be related to the listening test to indicate how well a pupil can process spoken language. These tests help to identify potential specific learning difficulties - dyslexic, dyspraxic or dysgraphic - and suggest appropriate teaching strategies for average pupils who are struggling with more general literacy problems.

HOME LITERACY INDEX December - Understanding What You Read The following are some ways that you can help make sure your child comprehends and understands what they are reading. Before reading the story, talk about the title and author of the book, look at the pictures and make predictions. Vary the ways in which you read with your child. Methods that can be used include: a. The child reads a paragraph or page, and then the adult reads the next paragraph or page from the book. b. Echo reading - the adult reads orally along with the child. This technique can be used if the reading level of the book is too difficult for the child, or to improve fluency in reading. After reading a page or two, ask the child to predict what may happen next in the story, then read on to see if the prediction is correct. Periodically stop and question the child about characters' names, actions, and feelings. Encourage the child to ask questions of the adult. Both adult and child should attempt to ask questions involving not only the "what" of the story, but also "who," "when," "where," and "why." If a child loses his/her place easily, provide a bookmark so the child can read along each line of print.

HOME LITERACY INDEX November Reading Strategies for Your Child Here are some simple strategies you can use at home when reading with your child. These strategies will help your child improve their ability to recognize words when reading. v Check the picture for a clue. v Look at the first letter and get the sound in your mouth. v Try a word and reread the sentence to see if the word makes sense. v Look for a chunk that you might know (eg., ch, al, er, br, ed, ing, pl, ook, etc). v Sound it out. v Read the sentence and go back to the word. v Look for a smaller word. v Break the word up into two parts. v Invite your child to read with you every day. v When reading a book where the print is large, point word by word as you read. This will help the child learn that reading goes from left to right and understand that the word he or she says is the word he or she sees. v Read a child's favorite book over and over again. v Read many stories with rhyming words and lines that repeat. Invite the child to join in on these parts. Point, word by word, as he or she reads along with you. If you think your child is struggling with letter recognition here are some simple strategies you can use to help them: v Say your child’s name, then have him say words that begin with the

A Question of Literacy *What is Literacy: Explorations into the Social and Historical Meanings The very notion of literacy is being altered to function in hypermedia, to read and design web pages and embark on computer-based projects one must orchestrate a fresh amalgam of graphic, linguistic and auditory literacies. There is every reason to believe that these literacies will continue to proliferate. Howard Gardner. (1999). Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century In the ASCD Educational Leadership (October 1999) a definition of “full-fledged literacy” states that “The definition of full-fledged literacy has shifted over the last century with the last century with increased distribution of technology, with the development of communication across distance and with the proliferation of large scale economic enterprises students need to be more than literate. They must be able to read challenging material, to perform sophisticated calculations and to solve problems independently.” Marshall McLuhan talks about the creation of the ultimate technology, the phonetic alphabet. McLuhan states that the "ALPHABET" translates man from the magical world of the ear to the neutral visual world...." According to McLuhan, oral cultures act and react simultaneously but with the invention of the alphabet the result is a "detached" literate man. Literacy moved the culture of man from tribe to to "individual" units that may have an improved intellectual grasp on the world but yet is fragmented in consciousness. (McLuhan, 1995. Olson, 1994) Oral tradition depends on the rhythm of the culture and serves as a base for the culture but alphabet technology move the man from the oral man to the literate man and the electronic man is not far behind. (Olson, 1994)
