effective early Literacy Skill development for young spanish speaking english language learners an experimental study of two methods
Child Development, 2009Co-Authors: Jo Ann M Farver, Christopher J Lonigan, Stefanie EppeAbstract:Ninety-four Spanish-speaking preschoolers (M age = 54.51 months, SD = 4.72; 43 girls) were randomly assigned to receive the High/Scope Curriculum (control n = 32) or the Literacy Express Preschool Curriculum in English-only (n = 31) or initially in Spanish transitioning to English (n = 31). Children's emergent Literacy Skills were assessed before and after the intervention in Spanish and English. Children in the English-only and transitional groups made significant gains in their emergent Literacy Skills in both Spanish and English compared to the control group, The English-only and transitional models were equally effective for English language outcomes, but for Spanish-language outcomes, only the transitional model was effective. The results suggest that a targeted early Literacy intervention can improve Spanish-speaking preschoolers' preLiteracy Skills.

the effects of an early history of otitis media on children s language and Literacy Skill development
British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2006Co-Authors: Heather WinskelAbstract:Background. Otitis media (OM) or middle ear infection is a common childhood illness and is most frequent during the crucial first 3 years of life when speech and language categories are being established, which could potentially have a long-term effect on language and Literacy Skill development. Aims. The purpose of the current study was to ascertain the effects of a history of OM in early childhood on later language and Literacy Skill development. Sample. Forty-three children from Grade 1 and Grade 2, between 6 and 8 years old with an early history of OM and 43 control children, matched for chronological age, gender and socio-economic status, participated in this study. Methods. Children were tested on multiple measures of phonological awareness, semantic knowledge, narration and reading ability. The performance of children with and without a history of OM was compared on the different measures. Results. There was a general tendency for children with a history of OM to achieve lower scores on phonological awareness Skills of alliteration, rhyme and non-word reading, semantic Skills of expressive vocabulary and word definitions and reading than non-OM children. Conclusion. These findings highlight the potential problems an early history of middle ear infection can have on school-aged children’s later language and Literacy development. Otitis media (OM) or middle ear infection is the most common childhood illness; approximately 70% of children have had at least one episode of OM before they are 3 years old, and for many children OM is a recurrent problem (Roush, 2001; Teele, Klein, & Rosner, 1984). Otitis media is the general term for a range of common paediatric conditions affecting the middle ear. Acute otitis media (AOM) is a clinically identifiable infection of the middle ear that has sudden onset and brief duration associated with intense pain and increased pressure in the ear, often accompanied by a fever (Bluestone

book reading engagement in children with autism and language impairment associations with emergent Literacy Skills
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020Co-Authors: Allison Bean, Brenda I Perez, Jaclyn M Dynia, Joan N Kaderavek, Laura M JusticeAbstract:Emergent-Literacy Skills are frequently taught within social interactions in preschool classrooms such as shared book reading. Children with impaired language and/or social engagement may have difficulty accessing these learning opportunities. Therefore, we sought to investigate the relationship between book-reading orientation during a teacher-led shared book reading activity and emergent-Literacy Skill development across three groups of preschool children; autism (n = 22), developmental language disorder (DLD; n = 23), and typical development (TD; n = 58). The children with autism demonstrated less book-reading orientation than their DLD and TD peers. Book-reading orientation was a significant predictor of residualized gains in print-concept knowledge and phonological awareness. Thus, book-reading orientation appears to play a critical role in preschooler’s emergent-Literacy Skill development.

the application of problem based learning model to improve mathematical Literacy Skill and the independent learning of student
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017Co-Authors: F A Sari, Indhira Asih Vivi YandariAbstract:The background of the research was due to the lack Skill of student mathematical Literacy. The objective of the research is to know the ability and the improvement of the students in term of the mathematical Literacy Skill and the independent learning of the students by using problem based learning model better than students who received conventional learning. This research conducted in one of Junior High School in Serang in academic year of 2013/2014. The samples of the research were two classes. The test instrument consists of four essay items. The results showed that ability and the improvement of the students in term of the mathematical Literacy Skill and the independent learning of the students by using problem based learning model better than students who received conventional learning. Based on the research results, as well as the improvement of the research, we suggest that the learning model of problem based learning can be taken into consideration by the teacher as an alternative learning at school. Additionally, we recommend further research that examines the effects of problem based learning models on different aspects for a more diverse material.
