| | UWB - Writing Center, Reading, Close Reading |
 | | Because interpreting a literary or scholarly text can often seem to students like a mysterious (even irrelevant) activity of literary critics who are overly fascinated by "symbols," discussing close reading as a constant everyday activity in which students themselves engage helps to demystify the process. | | | The following is a discussion, aimed at students, of what it means to close read, followed by a set of guidelines for close-reading a passage in a literary text. | | | A good way to make students visible to themselves as already adept close readers is to ask them to describe a part of a conversation that they overheard, perhaps in the library or in the Commons. |

| | Social Capital Reading List |
| | Essential readings of this section include the studies that have introduced the multidimensional concept of social capital in the social sciences debate, influencing great part of the following literature on this topic. | | | Readings are partitioned into five sub-sections: Social interactions, health and the quality of life, Social capital, poverty and development in rural areas, Microcredit and social capital, Development assistance, civil society and social capital, Other aspects of the relationship between social capital and poverty in LDCs. | | | Great part of these studies belongs to the field of economics and addresses problems like the difficulties of measurement, the shortcomings of the empirical research, the role of social capital in the World Bank's research activity, and the opportunity itself to consider social capital as another form of capital, together with human and phisical capital. |

| | Speed Reading Test Online |
| | Reading is becoming more and more important in the new knowledge economy and remains the most effective human activity for transforming information into knowledge. | | | Reading efficiency is reading speed weighted by comprehension rate and it amounts to 200 x 60% or 120 efficient words per minute (ewpm) for the average reader and to 1000 x 85% or 850 ewpm for top readers. | | | I f you really think it is impossible to do better, that is, to both read faster and improve your reading comprehension, then redo the speed reading test. |

| | English Language Arts 20: Teaching and Learning |
| | A pre-reading activity with the focus on arousing interest in a text and getting students started reading will be different from one with the focus on establishing a common understanding about the main idea or technique employed in a text. | | | Active reading requires students to bring their backgrounds into the reading, to interact with the selections, to become imaginatively and intellectually involved, and to share and shape their responses within the classroom setting. | | | Independent reading time (30-40 minutes), where students keep a journal and respond to the literature in terms of what they think or how they feel about what they are reading. |

| | Reading Activity |
| | Teaching/Learning Objectives: To teach reading comprehension, focusing on the five steps of effective reading: pre-reading, scanning, intensive reading, and comprehension. | | | Analysis: I find this exercise highly beneficial because it provides practice and information than this, however, it provides exposure to grammar and sentence structure; the idea of ‘input’ is in effect here, meaning that by reading properly written Spanish, students will gain a better understanding of how to write it properly. | | | This activity will be used for my class activity presentation on 10/14/04 |

| | SHOULD USSR CONTINUE |
| | Some schools are more successful in getting their pupils to appreciate and enjoy reading the USSR materials, while some other schools are less successful in carrying out the reading activity for various reasons. | | | While USSR may be planned by the school to begin at a certain time for a relatively short session each day, extensive reading may be done independently by the pupils any time and at their leisure. | | | Some tell-tale signs of the mass USSR losing its efficacy are the visible restlessness of pupils, the random flipping of the pages of books brought in for the reading session, the disinterested look on the readers' faces, the unhealthy competition among readers for more physical space in a crowded reading area, and so forth. |

| | Bush Education Official, Kansas City Mayor and Firefighters Encourage Students to Keep Reading |
| | This program will also point out to children that reading is not just a school-time activity, but is also a great way to have fun and be entertained. | | | KANSAS CITY, Kan. - Kansas City students were given some added incentive to keep up their reading skills over the summer during an event today with the U.S. Department of Education's Mary Cohen, Kansas City Mayor Carol Marinovich and city firefighters at Fire Station #5 in Kansas City. | | | One of President Bush's first actions after taking office was to promote children's reading achievement because studies show that when children fail to learn to read early in school, every aspect of school success is affected. |
