[Henrietta Dombey]

Dear Jane,

I'm really sorry to have missed this.  I have only just returned from the 19th European Conference on Literacy, in Klagenfurt, Austria, where I was committed many months ago to make 2 presentations.

I do hope all went well yesterday.

With warmest wishes,

Henrietta

Subject: [Reading-hall-of-fame] Reading Hall of Fame 2 events July 19

Hello to Everyone!!

July 19 is our Big Day in St. Louis, and here is a bit of information about our two events.

First, 7:00-9:00 AM, Room 102, we have our induction of new members/breakfast/annual meeting. Our new members are Octavio Alvarez (Colombia), Barbara Comber (Australia), Peter Freebody (Australia), Robert Jimenez (USA), Henrietta Dombey (UK), Jerry Johns (USA), and Trika Smith-Burke (USA, deceased). Almost all will be present. Henrietta will not, but will come next year. Welcome to All!

Second, 11:00-12:30, Room 151, we host our session at which recent new members speak. Our four presenters are: Judith Green (USA), Hilary Janks (South Africa), Stuart McNaughton (New Zealand), and Eufimia Tafa (Greece).

Please come - and invite your colleagues. This will be a great session. Here is more information about it:

Judith Green: What Counts as Literacy in Linguistically Diverse Classrooms
Judith will describe factors within and beyond the classroom that support and constrain what counts as literacy in linguistically diverse classrooms. Tracing shifting policy contexts across 10 years, she reveals “literacy processes” lost in the reform shift to English Only.
Hilary Janks: Engaging with Critical Literacy in Classrooms
Hilary argues for the interdependence of power, access, diversity, and design/redesign in literacy. Within this framework she studies students’ enquiries. When viewed as a pedagogical orientation to language and social practices, critical literacy becomes possible, even with prescribed curricula.
Stuart McNaughton: Literacy Development and the Challenge of Equitable Achievement
Stuart reviews research linking three challenges of global, equitable achievement: continuities between family and school literacy practices, instruction that accelerates progress during primary years, and content area literacy teaching. Effective instruction coordinates the challenges, but national policies constrain effectiveness.
Eufimia (Effie) Tafa: Kindergarten Children’s Understanding of Story Structure Improves through Story Retelling
Effie describes a program that engages kindergarten children in story retelling. She discusses its impact on students’ understanding of story structure, and focuses on experiences their teachers developed and implemented to enhance their children’s comprehension of stories.
I look forward to seeing many of you in St. Louis — ten days from now!!

Sincerely,
Jane
