The Writing Process Training to Go

Adult literacy

The same elements of literacy pertaining to school-age students, but demanding focused effort in 21^st CCLC programs to ensure support and success of students.

Background knowledge

Forming connections between the text and the information and experiences of the reader.

Comprehension

Understanding what one is reading, the ultimate goal of all reading activity. It is a complex process of simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning while reading text.

Decoding

The act of deciphering a new word by sounding it out.

These activities provide opportunities to practice literacy skills or concepts in the context of another academic activity, academic enrichment activity or routine. Embedded instruction may be easier to deliver to groups of students who have mixed abilities.

Explicit instruction

These activities focus primarily on direct teaching of concepts and skills. While it doesn’t mean teaching isolated facts and procedures, it does mean that literacy is the main area of academic focus.

Listening

The act of understanding spoken language.

Literacy anchor standards

Skills in the areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening all students must demonstrate to successfully pursue the college and career path of their choice.

Reading

The process of simultaneously extracting and constructing meaning through interaction and involvement with written language.

Speaking

The act of communicating through producing oral-aural language.

Vocabulary

Vocabulary is the knowledge of words and word meanings in both oral and print language and in both expressive (speaking and writing) and receptive (listening and reading) forms.

Writing

The process of recording language graphically by hand or other means, as by letters, logograms, and other symbols.
