Using Literacy Development Programs

Abstract

The aim of every teacher must surely be to equip students adequately so that they not only have a mature and fully balanced approach to life and the world but also sufficient tools to use in a literate society. Many children absorb these skills with little apparent effort by following their school’s reading program and making progress. It is only when this development does not take place that the concerned teacher should question how the child is learning and what methods and programs of remediation could be used. What course would be suitable for the student depends not only on the needs of the child but also on school resources—both financial and human.
