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.
