The Gift of Reading

(Your end of year gift could be doubled! Lear more here.)

In a borrowed room at a local school, Miss Kendra waits for her student. There’s a bean bag chair to sit on, a trampoline to bounce on, and supplies set out for writing or drawing. Venus* enters the room and smiles. She and Miss Kendra have been working together for years.  

Kendra leads Urban Ventures’ Reading Plus, a program that provides intensive literacy intervention for students who are behind grade level in reading. With over 80% of low-income students in Minneapolis measuring below proficiency, there is a great need for tutors like Kendra and her team.  

The reading never starts right away. Part of the success of Reading Plus is the rapport that the teachers build with their students. Trust is an important part of working together, especially when the work is around something the student finds extra challenging.  

The intentional time at the beginning is effective. Even Venus notices it, “We play games and I can draw, and then we take a break and we just read. I kind of relax after playing and stuff.”

Venus was recently diagnosed with dyslexia. An official assessment can cost thousands of dollars, so learning difficulties often go undiagnosed. Through Reading Plus, a referral for an assessment was given, and with it, a diagnosis received.

“Do you remember when we learned about your dyslexia?” Kendra asks. The “we” is more than just inclusive; it was Kendra that shared the diagnosis with Venus. When it was time to explain the diagnosis, Kendra brought pictures of famous people who also had learning differences. Among them were Albert Einstein, Pablo Picasso, Robin Williams, and Octavia Spencer. Even Spider-Man himself, Tom Holland, received a diagnosis as a child.  

Venus was surprised, “I was like, whoa, all these famous people have dyslexia? It really helped me realize that I wasn’t stupid, it’s just that I learn in a different way.”

“You’re absolutely right,” Kendra adds, “In fact, people who have dyslexia have to work really hard. Then they take the ability to work really hard into other parts of their life. You’re a hard worker.” Venus looks at the floor, but she smiles.  

The four years of working together have included many forms of connection. During the pandemic, lessons took place over Zoom, or sometimes sitting on yoga mats in the front yard. Kendra has worked with Venus through changes in school, in living situations, and through other significant life challenges. Kendra has remained a constant during the ups and downs of life, and the relationship shows it.  

“I want you to follow me around,” Venus tells Kendra when asked about the years ahead. Getting to work with the same students year after year is one of the great benefits of the Reading Plus program. And it allows teachers in the program to measure success more closely.  

Reading Plus uses the Orton-Gillingham approach to develop reading ability. When Venus began in the program, she had to sound out each word.  In her time with Kendra, she has caught up to grade level in reading and has doubled her spelling ability.  

Venus can tell she is improving, pointing out “Now I know how to read words without stopping for every single word. Now it’s only the big words.”

Fantasy Guide to Education

I'm always asked what sort of education different people recieve throughout different historical eras and since I'm heading back to college soon, I thought it was high time I made this guide.

Disparity

Education is viewed as a right by many but for some and thoughout history it was a privilege. For the wealthy and those of high status, education can be easily accessed. They can afford to tailor an education to fit their needs, they can hire tutors, and they can afford tuitions to top schools. For the poor, education was a luxury. However this doesn't mean that it was available. Some communities would fund a school or send their children to a local teacher - usually they had to pay a daily fee or at least bring kindling for the heating. Many poorer children also worked so they could not attend school consistently or were pulled out very early into their education. However, some poorer students could gain access to high level education if they were extremely bright or caught the attention of a wealthy benefactor who could fund their education.

Education as a Weapon

Education could also be banned for certain groups in society. It could be illegal to fund schools or host gatherings for students of a certain background, race, religion or gender. Education against the law could be punished by imprisonment, exile or execution. This is a measure usually taken by oppressive governments in order to follow a moral code or restrict the betterment of a certain group. An example would be the Irish Catholics under the Penal Laws.

On the otherhand, there is education that is influenced by the state to inject certain values, moralities and Opinions into a population. This is the intense restriction of reading material, removal of books that contest the teachings of the government or the kidnap of children from their culture, in order to forcibly educated them in alignment to their beliefs. An example would be the residental schools of North America and Canada and the AHS schools of Nazi Germany.

Content

As above, content of what children learn usually falls into a certain category. This is also true for the education offered to the wealthy and the poor. The poor would be offered a basic education, learning literacy and arithmetic, usually with an expectation that the children would not go on to any jobs that needs a broader education. Any higher education would be hard to obtain because of cost and the discriminatory view of the enrollment panels. The wealthy would have access to an array of different subjects including: The arts (drawing, music, painting, poetry, dancing), sports (riding, martial skills, rowing, hunting), arithmetic, geography, languages, geography and history. While progression to higher education will still be difficult, any affluent families are legacies of prestigious colleges or can make a donation to grease a few palms. These schools would be where the wealthy make lifelong connections and get springboarded toward opportunities.

Private Tutoring

Whilst some affluent, aristocratic and Royal families send their children to schools, private tutoring in the home was a popular choice. Children would be educated at home but tutors who either lived in the home or come to the house. The children would be educated alongside siblings or the children of courtiers or neighbours. Private tutoring sessions would often be the only education for upper class women recieved, taught by governesses and tutors.

Premises and Equipment

As mentioned above, wealthy and aristocratic families would usually attend established schools or attend school at home. They would be provided any equipment they needed. If they attend school, they would often wear a uniform. Some schools had multiple variations of the uniform for different activities. Many of the schools attended would be boarding schools. Boarding schools offered education to those who boarded and day students, however day students were often looked down upon as lesser than.

Poorer schools would be relient on donations and fees paid by students. As mentioned above, there may be a building reserved for classes - sometimes an designated schoolhouse or a teacher's home or a public building such as a gathering house or sometimes even outside - hedge schools. Equipment would be provided by the school. Uniforms at poorer schools were not a thing but students were expected to show up neat and tidy.

Corporal Punishment

Corporal punishment at schools was the go to punishment for students. Teachers had free rein to strike children for mistakes and bad behaviour. Punishments include insolation, physical stress positions such as standing on a chair all day, getting objects thrown at them, being slapped on the back of the legs with a cane, being rapped on the palms or knuckles with a crop or ruler. Students may also be humiliated by teachers through the use of dunce hats, encouraging other children to bully them or by the use of verbal abuse. Corporal punishment did extend to all classes except for royal children since that was either taken by proxy by whipping boys or left up to parents.

Comments for a Cause – More Literacy, Please!

Ah….August has arrived and where on earth did July go? It seemed like it was only about 5 days long and yet I managed to pack quite a bit into that month. I am sure everyone else probably feels the same way – it is what happens as we age. Don’t you just hate that term? As we age…. I don’t know about you but I feel like aging is a good thing. No more worrying about trivial things of years gone by.…

So I’m minoring in science education, and in one of my education seminars, we’re discussing the Gen Alpha literacy crisis. In the past few years teen literacy has been declining, and it’s now estimated that about 1/4 of teenagers cannot interpret basic texts. I just finished a middle school teaching internship, and the majority of my students weren’t reading at grade level.

While researching this issue, I've come across so many Millennial parents talking about how their kids don't read at all and asking how they could get their children to read more. "My child hasn't read a book in years, what do I do?!"

They talked about everything from private tutors to homeschooling, taking away devices, talking about how schools are garbage... And I feel like they're ignoring the most obvious answer, which is that they themselves don't read!

How do you expect your child to read books when you yourself don't read any? You need to model the behavior you want for your child. Your child doesn't think reading is important because they've never seen you read. And so, when you tell them reading is important, they just don't believe you.
