|abstract = A year-long researcher-teacher professional development group with a next-year followup was conducted with seven general education teachers from two elementary schools in a large urban school district in the southeastern United States. The two schools had recently restructured their special education program to include students with LD in the general education class full-time. Teachers were taught four reading and writing practices (one during each nine-week grading block). All but two of the teachers partially or completely implemented the practices during the nine-week period. Sustained implementation during the school year was maintained by four of the seven teachers, and three of the seven teachers continued high implementation of the instructional practices during the next school year. The components of successful professional development programs are discussed and implications for teacher education are offered.

|summary=Recent studies of elementary teachers’ knowledge about reading have been built on the premise that teachers need thorough knowledge about language and reading processes, but these studies have provided only limited evidence that teachers’ performance on tests of such knowledge contributes to their students’ reading achievement. The present study was designed to examine the contribution of first- through third-grade teachers’ knowledge about early reading to their students’ improvement on tests of word analysis and reading comprehension, controlling for socio-demographic characteristics of students, their prior reading achievement, and teachers’ educational attainment, professional experiences, and socio-demographic characteristics. Preliminary analyses indicated that the test of teachers’ knowledge had adequate psychometric characteristics. However, performance on this measure of teachers’ knowledge did not significantly explain students’ improvement on the two reading subtests. The complexity of the factors that influence teachers’ knowledge acquisition and the context in which the study was carried out offer possible explanations for these results. In addition, teachers’ content knowledge about reading might not be closely associated with the practices they use in reading instruction, and therefore might not be significantly related to their students’ improvement in reading over a year.

|summary=This study describes the sense-making behaviors of sixth- and seventh-grade students ( n = 46 dyads) as they read and discussed expository articles in print and digital formats. Most dyads approached the digital text as if it were static and linear, despite the availability of hyperlinks. Reading through (or covering) the text was the most commonly observed behavior, occurring in 89\% of the coded intervals in the print condition and 76\% of intervals in the digital condition. Students were observed discussing a variety of cognitive and metacognitive strategies. The most common strategies were process monitoring, summarizing, connecting, and reacting. The dyads used at least one overt sense-making strategy in about 50\% of the intervals when reading the print text and about 65\% of the intervals with the digital text. Previewing and progress monitoring, which serve important planning and self-regulative functions, were used more frequently in the digital condition. Regression analyses show that several collaborative behaviors were associated with text comprehension, as measured by a researcher-designed multiple choice test, in the print condition but not in the digital condition. These included word recognition monitoring ( β = 1.84; SE = 0.90; p = .05), summarizing ( β = 2.43; SE = 1.21; p = .05), and connecting ( β = −5.20; SE = 2.06; p = .02) at the student level and attending to illustrations ( γ = −7.08; SE = 2.17; p = .003) at the dyad level. In both conditions, prior reading achievement and prior knowledge were strong predictors of comprehension.

Vincentvikram: Added data relevant to my interest only

Chart 2: All India 206-10 Proportion of children who can read.
Children who can read Std1 text in Std3 and children who can read Std2 text in
Std5. pg1

"more than half of the children in Std 5 will be incapable of completing even
elementary education except by blind promotion without regard to the actual
learning levels they attain. This is exactly what the government has done. All
children will be promoted up to Std 8 automatically"

See the sample tol to test reading skills.

Table 2: School Infrastructure and Learning Outcomes pg10

ASER 2010 : READING TASKS pg 26

All children were assessed using a simple reading tool. The reading test has 4
categories:
Letters : Set of commonly used letters.
Words: Common familiar words with 2 letters and 1 or 2 matras.
Level 1 (Std 1) text: Set of 4 simple linked sentences, each having no more than
4-5 words. These words or their equivalent are in the Std 1 textbook of the state.
Level 2 (Std 2) text: “Short” story with 7-10 sentences. Sentence construction
is straightforward, words are common and the context is familiar to children.
These words (or their equivalent) are in the Std 2 textbook of the state.

Reading test is available in all languages and the child can choose the language
in which he/she wants to read.

|summary=The paper brings out the uses of technology to aid and strengthen the reciprocal relationship between vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension with specific focus on second language(L2) and foreign langugage(FL) literacy.

The paper suggests four teaching principles which are reproduced verbatim:
'''First Principle''': Instructors should pay more attention to the existence of various teaching tools.
'''Second Principle''': Instructors should introduce multimedia-glossed texts into their vocabulary/reading classes.
'''Third Principle''': Instructors should be acquainted with the criteria for software and courseware evaluation.
'''Fourth Principle''': Instructors should keep up with current methodology and make best use of visuals and multimedia
