Extractions: Reception children will follow a foundation curriculum with early learning goals to be achieved by the end of their reception year. The foundation curriculum is followed in playgroups and nurseries also as it operated from the ages of 3 to 6 years and, therefore, provides continuity from pre-school to reception class. The reception class is an introduction to more formal education with a balance of free exploration, play and set tasks. There is an emphasis on numeracy and literacy as the children progress through their time in the reception class. Children are not functioning within the National Curriculum at this stage but will have gained valuable experiences in readiness for National Curriculum requirements in Year 1. National Curriculum The curriculum is organised around the National Curriculum which consists of three core subjects - English, Mathematics and Science, and non-core subjects - Art, Geography, History, Physical Education, Music, Technology (Information and Communications Technology and Design Technology) and PSHE (personal, social and health education) which incorporates citizenship.

Since reading is an active process of interaction and fundamentally a mental activity, this course will help you develop strategies to accomplish this skill through varied readings and exercises. This course is also designed to introduce you to the process of writing in Spanish. Mastery of the advanced writing skills will be carried out in several phases, during which you will be provided ample opportunity to practice genres such as description, review, narration, comparison and contrast. Class discussions will foster practice of all language skills and are designed to improve speaking, listening, reading, and writing proficiency. The course also has a computer literacy requirement. It will be imperative that you have an active email account and that you check it regularly for messages concerning the class. You will write papers using a word processing program, and should integrate the use of diacritical marks. Students will also use the Internet as a resource and should become familiar with the common Web browsers. The library project will include on-line searches and the use of the Wofford library computer resources.

Extractions: January 13, 1999 By Kathleen Kennedy Manzo Washington Just as its passage slipped quietly through the federal appropriations process last fall, implementation of the Reading Excellence Act, a plan to raise American schoolchildren's lackluster reading achievement, is proceeding without fanfare. The program's staff at the Department of Education, appointed a few weeks ago, is working behind the scenes to ready applications, draft procedures, and inform states about how to tap $520 million in block grants over the next two years. Most of the money is intended to have a direct effect on the classrooms that need it most, with 85 percent targeted to professional development for teachers and to assistance programs for disadvantaged children who may be at risk of failure in reading. States will be required to distribute the grants to their poorest districts and to those that state education officials identify as most in need of improving student achievement. What's left will go to family-literacy and tutoring programs. The program is expected to reach 500,000 children.

Extractions: Wichita, Kansas Paraprofessionals Helping Parents Overview Twenty-four of Wichita's elementary schools and an early childhood education center employ paraprofessionals as parent involvement workers, who operate parent resource centers and reach out to draw parents into partnership with teachers. Based on what parents and teachers need, PIWs develop programs to provide coordinated, informed support for students' studies. Parenting classes, family nights, and workshops help build a tight link between school and home. A centrally located, districtwide parent resource center is open to all parents. District Context Located in south central Kansas, the Wichita Public School system is the largest in the state, with more than 47,000 students. The district has 68 elementary schools, 16 middle schools, and 13 high schools. Fifteen elementary magnet schools are organized around a variety of special themes including: a "traditional" program that emphasizes reading, composition, grammar, handwriting, spelling, mathematics, and social studies; the performing arts; the environment; "open" education; and health and wellness.

Numeracy And Literacy In Primary Education - InvictaKids During literacy Hour, teachers and children talk about word work Text work includesreading comprehension; writing composition; enjoying fiction http://www.invictakids.co.uk/kidsmatters/education/numeracy.shtml
Extractions: Going to school can be difficult for both parents and children. In September InvictaKids will carry the comments from 10 primary school teachers asked "How can a parent best prepare their 4/5 year old for reception class?". There will be information on both the social skills and reading, writing and maths skills that will help make it more easy for your child to start school. For now there is a parent's guide to Numeracy and Literacy. A longer version of this guide is available from all primary schools in the area. It aims to inform parents and carers of the work their children will be undertaking in school in numeracy and literacy. It outlines the main areas that will be covered in each year and gives tips on how to help your child at home. A leaflet 'Learning about mathematics at home and at school' can also be obtained from schools. Please contact us with any tips for helping children at home and recommendations for books. About the daily maths lesson The daily maths lesson will last between 45 minutes and one hour, depending on the age of your children. Children will spend time on a range of activities and tasks, with lots of mental maths and group work. Much of the time, the whole class will work as one group on the same topic.

Extractions: carmen.chandler@csun.edu CSUN Receives $10,000 from Starbucks for Literacy Efforts (NORTHRIDGE, Calif., Jan. 22, 2001) - For the second year in a row, Cal State Northridge's Center for Community-Service Learning has received $10,000 from the Starbucks Foundation for child literacy programs. This year's grant will be used to create programs in which CSUN students will help to boost the language and literacy skills of ninth graders at Reseda High School and encourage good reading skills among local preschoolers. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to expand our work with the Starbucks Foundation. Their generosity has allowed CSUN service-learning students to use what they are learning in the classroom to benefit the community," said Maureen Rubin, director of the Center for Community-Service Learning. "This grant," she said, "will help address an urgent community need for college students to become actively involved in the education of young people who will unquestionably relate to them not only as tutors, but as role models and perhaps even friends." In the first part of the project, "The Language of Hope," CSUN students enrolled in Janet Cross' freshman composition class will become tutors/mentors to ninth graders at Reseda High who are having difficulty with literacy and language arts skills. The CSUN students will work with 50 to 60 youngsters who scored in the lower quarter on the Stanford 9 standardized test. In addition to an hour of in-person tutoring each week, the CSUN students will create an aggressive online writing program that will include nightly homework help.

Extractions: Service Learning and Writing Studies . . . According to Service-Learning and Compositon at the Crossroads, the introduction in Writing the Community: Concepts and Models for Service-Learning in Composition Linda Adler-Kassner, Robert Crooks, and Ann Watters declares that "Whether teaching, learning, planning and executing assignments, exploring the writing process, or even grading papers, students and instructors feel a greater sense of purpose and meaning in the belief that their work will have tangible results in the lives of others" (2). Composition is one course in particular where reflection about the world around us is done everyday. We write from the perspectives of sociological, philosophical, psychological, political and economical participants of the planet, but it is often with abstract understanding. In this way, composition becomes paired with various other disciplines to offer an ideal introduction to the college experience. Composition is often the first class taken by college students, many, having no idea what career path they want to take. According to Adler-Kassner, Crooks, and Watters, "Attending college means for many a transition to being a fuller participant in a larger social world, and the college experience is important in shaping that participation. Whatever tends to restrict the range of student contact to the campus tends to define lasting limitation on an individuals’ sense of community" (2). In composition, we are able to help the students shape ideas and with service-learning the student is able to formulate his or her own ideas by first hand experience.
