Rebecca Nash's List: Teaching Reading Resources

  • May 31, 10

    Reading has always been a fundamental concept taught in adult basic education (ABE). The  methods and contexts for reading instruction, however, have varied over time according to practitioners' theoretical perspectives and belief systems about the reading process. For example, the teaching of reading often has been imbedded in instructional content rather than addressed as a discrete skill. Because of the variations in instructional approach, it sometimes has been difficult to discern the extent to which reading is being taught in ABE programs.

    Really worth reading. Well expressed ideas on running a class through deep reading activities - with explanations as to why this would work. But it really is worth trying very hard to make PGW work.

    Professor Kevin Wheldall was appointed Professor of Education and Director of Macquarie University Special Education Centre in 1990. In 1995, he established the MULTILIT (Making Up Lost Time In Literacy) Initiative, to research and develop intensive literacy interventions for low-progress readers. The MULTILIT Initiative has attracted over $12 million in research and research consultancy income since 1996 including the extensive Commonwealth Government funded evaluation project, An Evaluation of MULTILIT. Since 2006, Wheldall has also been the Director of the MULTILIT Research Unit. He was Associate Dean (Research) for ACES between 2004 and 2006, was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 2006 and of the International Academy for Research in Learning Disabilities in 2007, and is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society and College of Preceptors (UK). In 2008 Wheldall was awarded the Mona Tobias award of Learning Difficulties Australia (LDA) in recognition of his services to learning difficulties in Australia. In 2009 he was inducted into the Macquarie Innovators Hall of Fame for his MULTILIT work. In Macquarie’s last externally evaluated review of research quality, Professor Wheldall was ranked in the highest category, as being within the top ten per cent of researchers in his field internationally.
