How to become a literacy teacher to child or adult, with or without disabilities?We Answered:
Look for licensure in reading. Some states have that program, others don't. Adults and children learn very differently. You really need to focus on kids or adults to get the correct degree program.Lois Said:
Atheists, at what point (and how) do you teach your children about Biblical stories and literacy?We Answered:
I made sure to treat Christian ideas and myths as just one among many belief systems in the world - no better or worse. My emphasis was on the idea that different people believe different things, and not everyone has to believe the same thing. Our point of reference was Grandma...she goes to church and prays to god because that's what makes sense to her, but I don't believe in god because it doesn't make sense to me. Neither of us is wrong - we're just different.When we read Bible stories, we read them like any other collection of myths. He asked "is this true" about Greek myths more than about Bible stories (he really wanted Heracles to be true) so I was able to emphasize that some people believe stories like that, and like Noah and so on, as part of their religion and some people don't. He had no problem with this idea - all he wanted to know, at that point, was whether I thought they were true...and he was happy with the "no."
As he got older, we talked about the difference between believers seeing these stories as literally true or as parables from some god, and seeing them as myths with cultural, not religious, meaning. He really didn't have a problem with this idea.
Good luck!

How to get into teaching literacy and numeracy.?We Answered:
I know how to go about it for adults.It depends what level of qualification you have at the moment. Start with either GCSE's in English & Maths or a level 2 certificate in supporting adults in numeracy & literacy (City & Guilds).
Following that, you will need a level 3 ('A' level equivalent) in numeracy & literacy. and go on to achieve a level 4 teaching qualification. You can do these specialising in either numeracy or literacy. It could be a City & Guilds 7407 or a Cert Ed or PGCE in post compulsory education. You won't be allowed to teach without this, but I think at the moment they still employ people on the condition that they obtain the qualification whilst working.
Most colleges are really supportive in helping you get the qualifications. Hope this helps.
Katie Said:
What is one of the specific teaching techniques for improving literacy among children?We Answered:
There are so many! The first and most important is to read a lot with children (several times a day), read all different types of texts, and have authentic conversations with them about what they've read. Have both fiction and non-fiction, picture books, and chapter books. Authentic conversations means asking questions about the text to which you don't already know the answer.
