- W629936190 abstract "Laboratory school leaders can greatly influence reading achievement among students. In this light, the authors propose that school leaders, by becoming more aware of their own journey in becoming readers, are encouraged to strengthen reading programs in their own schools. Consequently, writing a memoir titled “My Life as a Reader” can be used to encourage reflection on becoming a reader. In this study, analysis of the memoirs of school leaders provided substantial evidence supporting the conclusion that experiences with books and interested adults greatly encourages eventual reading achievement. The subjects in this paper are school leaders; however, application of the strategies employed can be applied in a variety of settings such as school faculty meetings, college education classes, and parent involvement sessions. 2 NALS Journal, Vol. 3 [2012], Iss. 1, Art. 1 http://digitalcommons.ric.edu/nals/vol3/iss1/1 3 Educators’ Reflections Laboratory School Leaders Provide Support for Literacy Teachers Reading proficiency is considered fundamental to success in school and the workplace. American workers have seen an economy that has evolved from a society with abundant jobs in agriculture and manufacturing to an age of information requiring high literacy competencies. The dynamics of the 21st Century global economy emphasize the need for both affective and pedagogically sound strategies for fostering reading achievement (National Center on Education and the Economy, 2007). For example, approximately 18% of individuals with no more than basic reading skills are employed in professional and business sectors of the economy as compared to 60% of individuals with proficient literacy skills (National Endowment for the Arts, 2007). Not surprisingly, adults with lower levels of literacy competencies earn significantly lower salaries than those with higher capability levels (Kutner, Greenberg, Jin, Boyle, Hsu, & Dunleavy, 2007). Economic well being is highly important; however, high levels of literacy are critically important for individual development, academic opportunities, career choices, and participation in society over a lifetime. In this light, a comprehensive review of empirical research and theory led Adams (1990) to conclude that reading “is the key to education, and education is the key to success for both individuals and a democratic society” (p. 13). Despite the importance of literacy, there appears to be a decline in literacy among young Americans today. In this light, Bauerlein (2008; 2011) determined that excessive orientation toward video formats experienced by many children dampens the spirit and lulls creative instincts while eroding the context in which book reading is respected. Bauerlein further suggested that highly predictable and routine video oriented activities diminish 3 Brinson et al.: Lab School Support for Literacy Published by Digital Commons @ RIC, 2012 4 Educators’ Reflections thoughtful social and creative interaction. In addition, Bauerlein concluded that the videooriented leisure habits of today’s youth pull them ever further from their studies. In this light, Weil (2011) encouraged the practice of fostering participation of children and adults in spontaneous, engaging, and not so predictable activities. In comparing the messages of Bauerlein and Weil to what we have experienced, we have seen, all too often, children inundated with unimaginatively developed worksheets and excessive use of video slides. Narratives of school personnel relative to learning to read echo what Bauerlein and Weil" @default.
