Developing Literacy2 Introduction Teaching is a practice in which a teacher has to utilize a number of different strategies that help and support the reading and writing process of the students. It is crucial that as a teacher, one should possess the knowledge about the literacy programs and should know about the different attributes that differentiate them from each other. Also, it is important to know the positive and negatives of the literacy programs for better development of reading and writing skills in the students. Each student has a different nature and attitude and thus to handle them, there is a need of a different set of tactics, which should also help in the better incorporation of the literacy program in the classroom for the development of skills in the children. In Australia, in recent times, this has been formulated that the approach of the flexible or mixed literacy program is the best approach for the overall development of the students and especially for inculcating strong skills of reading and writing. In this assignment, the approach that has been taken to understand the literacy programs in-depth is the integrated literacy program and to know its various positive and negative attributes it has been compared with a stand-alone literacy program. It is a known fact that skills like reading, writing, speaking, thinking, and listening are the core attributes of literacy programs. Comparison of Integrated Literacy Program & Stand-Alone Literacy Program There are a number of different programs which every teacher has to incorporate in a classroom to enhance the learning of the students. The approach of integrated literacy program is conducted by combining two or more aspects of curriculum and the process of learning under this program occurs within and across the learning boundaries(Cook et al., 2008). One such integrated literacy program is the SRA FLEX literacy program that exhibits a strong relationship between the behavior and the achievement of the children in a
Developing Literacy3 classroom. This literacy program is specially designed for children who struggle with reading and belong to the grade of 3 to 12. The success and failure of a student largely depend on the instructions provided to him by the teacher, so the performance of the student largely depends on the effectiveness of the instructions. The approach of the SRA FLEX Literacy is to enhance the behavior in the classroom and that helps in deriving better performance(Ehri, 2013). According to Dunlap, Iovannone, Wilson, Kincaid, & Strain, this has been formulated that still, the behavior of the student in the classroom is a huge concern for the educators. It is the most challenging trait that is found in the students of the public schools. Also, this has been further formulated that students who misbehave tend to learn less(Dunlap, Iovannone, Wilson, Kincaid & Strain, 2009). Therefore, in such a scenario, the SRA FLEX Literacy program plays a very vital role in helping in curbing the misbehaving attitude of the students and helping them develop better learning practices that help in better development. According to Marchand-Martella & Martella, SRA FLEA Literacy, is an intervention system that is very effective for struggling readers and it covers the Common Core State Standards, approximately 90% both in the Elementary system that is from grade 3 to 5 and in the secondary system that is from 6 to 12(Marchand-Martella & Martella, 2013). The SRA FLEX Literacy program is made up of three components. According to Hirn & Park, the first component of the SRA FLEX Literacy includes the digital experience that helps in the development of writing and reading skills, in which the student learn and practice the various skills(Hirn & Park, 2012). The second component of the SRA FLEX Literacy is a small group session of children in which they work on their reading and writing skills. Also, the teachers get an opportunity to work on their personalized intervention, for better development of the children. The third and the last component of this integrated literacy program is another group setting in which the engagement of the students is elaborated with
