The use of these tools during the first year at VMI will lay the foundation for proficiency in such areas as 1. Critical thinking and reading 2. Precision in oral and written communication 3. Academic and professional ethics 4. Commitment to lifelong learning and physical health Attainment of these four objectives not only should help the student see interconnections among the various academic disciplines but also should lead him or her to an expertise in the major field of study.

ACADEMIC POLICIES Curriculum The general curriculum of the school fulfills requirements of the Education Department of both the State and the Archdiocese of New York. Because of the cultural and national diversity that comprises the Archdiocesan school system, much latitude is given to the individual schools to mold a curriculum to fit their needs without ever sacrificing the requisites of a well-rounded course of study. St. Joseph's School is in session for 176 days. This is in accordance with the regulations of the State of New York and the Archdiocese of New York. The regular subjects taught include Religion, Reading, Composition, English and Language Arts, Spelling -Vocabulary - Phonics, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science. Grades 5 to 8 students take Spanish. All students have Library visits, at least once a week, or as needed. Special subjects to which letter grades are assigned are Music, Art, Physical Education and Computer Literacy. Religious Studies Each student at St. Joseph's follows a program of religious studies. These studies are essential to the total education of a maturing student and one of the main reasons for the existence of the Catholic School.

You are free to use the programs or just individual exercises of your choice. This site covers a lot of material including background information and tips, and I hope at least some of it will be helpful for many parents, tutors, and teachers. Parents are a glaringly undervalued resource in education, but they often get the Rodney "no respect" Dangerfield feeling. Many assume they have no role other than overseeing the homework even though they care deeply about the futures of their children. The role of parents, within their capability to use resources that are available to them, is whatever is needed to assure that their children master the 3-Rs. One important reason why parents need to play a larger role in their children's education is that schools commonly have curriculum-centered programs in which they specify what material is to be covered in a given time frame. Although the time allotted may be appropriate for the average learner, the slower learners or those with different learning styles may soon get hopelessly behind and shunted into remedial programs, and the most competent ones may get bored.

Volume Number November 2002 Pages 58-61 Reading and Writing in the Content Areas Reading, Writing, and Understanding Vicki A. Jacobs Secondary school teachers are more willing to integrate reading and writing strategies in their content-area instruction when they see how these strategies can support their goals for students' understanding. Many secondary content-area teachers are reluctant to integrate reading and writing in their instruction because they feel that reading and writing skills are add-ons to their central job of teaching content knowledge. The author discusses secondary reading-to-learn and writing-to-learn as processes that support an instructional goal common to all content areas: understanding. Staff development for content-area literacy, she writes, should make teachers aware of the ways various reading and writing strategies can support this central instructional goal. Reading-to-Learn as a Means of Understanding At about the 4th grade, students begin using these early reading skills to learn. Reading-to-learn is a matter of meaning-making, problem-solving, and understanding. The process through which students come to understand something from a text is called comprehension Stage 1: Prereading Frequently, a struggling secondary reader will come to class and say, "I read last night's homework, but I don't remember anything about it (let alone understand it)!" How successfully students remember or understand text depends, in part, on how explicitly teachers have prepared them to read it for clearly defined purposes.

Nominate this site for the Showcase Rancho Santa Fe PTA Content Connection What Is Dyslexia? Dyslexia, the most prevalent type of learning disability, affects an individual's ability to acquire skills related to reading. The National Institutes of Health report that 60 to 80 percent of people with learning disabilities have problems with reading and language skills. Dyslexia The most common characteristic of individuals with dyslexia is difficulty with oral language processing related to phonological awareness (the ability to manipulate sounds in words). This underlying phonological processing disorder leads to problems in developing word-attack abilities. Difficulties with other aspects of respective and expressive oral language involving vocabulary and grammar may also be present. Problems with automatic retrieval of words and memory for non-meaningful symbols such as letters is also common. Individuals with dyslexia may also experience difficulties with spelling and writing, usually referred to as dysgraphia. Although dyslexia and dysgraphia often occur together, problems with spelling and writing can occur when reading skills are good.
