Short and sweet - this article talks about the power of listening while reading with research to back up the increase in literacy when Same Language Subtitles were used during television viewing. I've seen it for myself when I had ELL students listen to audio books that had accompanying visuals. They not only became better readers (and WANTED to read) but their language skills improved, too. There are links in the article to take you to an article on the research, too.

'School libraries play a huge part in pupils' education'

'School libraries play a huge part in pupils' education' | School Libraries and more | Scoop.it

In a society where one in three homes has no books owned by the children in them, it is essential that youngsters can find them elsewhere.

 

Recent research emphasises this importance. A study by the Institute of Education (2013) found reading for pleasure ‘to be more important for children's cognitive development between ages 10 and 16 than their parents' level of education.’

Teaching Students Skills to become Better Online Readers

Teaching Students Skills to become Better Online Readers | School Libraries and more | Scoop.it

Soon after Maryanne Wolf published “Proust and the Squid,” a history of the science and the development of the reading brain from antiquity to the twenty-first century, she began to receive letters from readers. Hundreds of them. While the backgrounds of the writers varied, a theme began to emerge: the more reading moved online, the less students seemed to understand."

Do students retain more information when they read from books rather than from digital devices? Does reading online present challenges due to distractions? Do students need to be taught skills to become better online readers?
Ruby Day's curator insight, August 3, 2014 5:21 PM

Studies show we are not reading as effectively online as we are with hard copies. This highlights the need for tools to help us read deeper online - e.g annotation type tools. This links to an interesting stuy of year 5 students using collaborative annotation software demonstrating higher performance than the control group's' paper based annotation.

Most of us are fresh on the heels of a Spring Break and seeing the rest of the year as that downhill slide towards summer. But before you relax, this is an article worth reading. Heck, I think it's worth printing out and using it as a checklist - a bucket list for quality teaching, if you will. Okay...number 17 is not high on my priority list right now but it might be one day. These are completely appropriate for the teacher-librarian, too. If we are to remain relevant to our schools we must be willing to grow and improve and be challenged so that we can be our best selves every day. I'm really thinking about #44 and would love to hear some feedback from anyone who's been able to accomplish that one. Share this with your teachers!

Interesting research results cited here.  "The report went on to investigate commonalities such as the link between highly trained library staff and student success, digital adoption in the schools and book checkouts, and more. Interestingly, mobile device use and after-school access to the libraries’ digital materials played a key role in this year’s findings."

The Indispensable Library and Librarian | Tech Tidbits

Don't ever doubt it—librarians are in a service industry. By focusing on our unique patron needs and demographics, libraries will continue to be relevant in their schools and communities.

 

Our best librarians are constantly adapting and learning. The future is rich and full of possibility for librarians who are willing to continually assess and respond to their schools’ needs.

Curation as Digital Literacy Practice

Curation as Digital Literacy Practice | School Libraries and more | Scoop.it

Ibrar Bhatt writes: "Digital curation therefore is not just about finding relevant material, although that is a significant part of it, but is also about creating a specific and unique experience by utilising the resulting materials which then become contextualised within a new space. A curator, therefore, whether she is a journalist-by-proxy such as Popova or a student completing an assignment in a classroom, not only collects and interprets, but also creates a new experience with it. In this respect, curation is a process of problem solving, re-assembling,re-creating, and stewardship of other people’s writing."
