 6. Literacy Powerline

Children’s and Family Literacy

The work of Padak and Rasinski (2003) reviewed the effectiveness of family literacy programs and showed the benefits to all the component parts of the programs: the children, the parents, the families and the communities of those involved, especially in terms of both school attendance and achievement. The research indicated that family literacy programs impacted children‘s motivation, social skills, attitudes and even health. One significant finding was adult learner persistence increased when parents were enrolled in family literacy programs as opposed to only adult education classes. Another was that families in family literacy programs reported improved relationships and increased parental involvement in their children‘s educational activities.

8. NCFL & Family Literacy

NCFL inspires and engages families in the pursuit of education and learning together.
  • Children’s reading scores improve dramatically when their parents are involved in helping them learn to read.
  • Low family income and a mother’s lack of education are the two biggest risk factors that hamper a child’s early learning and development.

Teaching is Unlocking the Treasures of Knowledge

What a marvelous privilege to teach! In all of history, we have the greatest resources to empower the next generations. These links are not necessarily in order of importance, except that literacy must be first (sorry math teachers.) Though I think you can discern my liberal arts bias here. 

Shakespeare, J. S. Bach, Michaelangelo, the Bible, Charles Dickens, e e cummings, Beethoven, Langston Hughes...all for you boys and girls.

Algebra, chemistry, engineering, astrophysics, trigonometry...all for you girls and boys.

Yo Yo Ma, Steven Spielberg, Marion Anderson, Isaac Perlman, Anna Pavlova, Freddie Mercury, Meryl Streep, Artur Rubinstein, the Beatles, Mr. Bojangles, Isaac Perlmann...all for you, students.

Lincoln, Moses, Marie Curie, the Great Khan, Catherine the Great, Ghandi, St. Bridget of Ireland, Simon Bolivar, Susan B. Anthony, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jesus, Elizabeth I, Mohammed, Julius Caesar...all for you, class.

Thanks, спасибо, Ta, Luv, merci, Thanks, eh?,dank, Thanks, mate!,dzięki,Maraming salamat,धन्यवाद

Today this blog passed 100,000 hits. Folks from around the world have opened it, for many different reasons, I think, because I enjoy putting up a variety of blogs.


The title expresses gratitude to the geographical locations that the Blogger data  tells me the hits came from in descending order: USA,  Russia, UK, France, Canada, Germany, Australia, Poland, Philippines, India. There were many others, I have really enjoyed noting that. What an amazing honor that we have an international voice.

The most popular blogs reflect my eclectic interests in blogging: Garfield's art contest, tranquil music from Debussy and Mr. Tumnus, learning topics, Edgar Allen Poe, Edutopia, Jesus, Marvin Gaye, a movie about Red Tails, and a kind of simple word of encouragement to perk yourself up. And not forgetting that time Paul McCartney made me cry.

Mr. Tumnus the Bold
The other day one of my family had a task for me. I said, "In about five minutes, I'm finishing this blog for my teachers." My teachers. A Freudian slip. You're my community now. My hope is that reading MzTeachuh is helpful, informative, amusing, relaxing, and encouraging as we pursue the best cause of educating the next generation for their amazing task of creating the world.

I'm very much enjoying the internet research associated with this blog because I better know outstanding educational sites and commentators; my artistic license to revisit favorite artists and composers and find new ones and then share them is very rewarding (I guess that's the teacher in me); and telling jokes, sharing humor, that's something I just can't help.

I'm learning every day. Please forgive the typos (and from an English major!), internet discourtesies (its a whole new culture), and my technological inexpertise at the mzteachuh.com website. The learning curve there is epic.

The MzTeachuh blog will continue as is, though I believe its time to write more formal articles, too.

Thank you again. Melanie Link Taylor

What Part of 'No' Don't You Understand? Tweets of the Day 11/13/12

No? How can you say that?
Here is a quote from an excellent blog I read today called, "What Part of No Doesn't Your Child Understand? by Dr. Laura Markham.

We can't say yes to everything our child wants. Sometimes we need to say No, for their own good, or for the greater good of the family or community. It's hard for children to accept big disappointments and weather that sadness. But when we allow them to feel their disappointment and love them through it, they learn that:
  • Sadness can be endured.
  • The sun will always come out tomorrow.
  • They can't control their circumstances, but they always have a choice about how to respond to make the best of a situation. 
  • Check out the remainder of the article here:
