<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoTHMD_SSwTlFZdQU34wD-UGrPb4edPK0K426Sa5L82ea-Wi40keY3r0_eiMkZNwBISdMenAuswhuAy9EFiFe_PJD_PZkZdbsF8DjcyqTdzuOsqy_2RlHCimYQ117tnuMNk13EK25OrLf/s1600/j0439540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnoTHMD_SSwTlFZdQU34wD-UGrPb4edPK0K426Sa5L82ea-Wi40keY3r0_eiMkZNwBISdMenAuswhuAy9EFiFe_PJD_PZkZdbsF8DjcyqTdzuOsqy_2RlHCimYQ117tnuMNk13EK25OrLf/s200/j0439540.jpg" width="200" /></a>In the United States, the problems of illiteracy are more widespread than many know. Information from the National Center for Educational Statistics indicates since 1993 the picture of adult literacy has not improved significantly. Some 11 million possess only “basic” literacy skills. That breaks down to roughly one in every four people who cannot function beyond a fourth grade literacy level. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Literacy” involves more than just ability in reading a book or newspaper. It involves several key skill clusters including ability to use and interpret in several broad categories. The concept spans the simple decoding of job applications or forms, to understanding instructions, and interpreting cultural references and problems in this area have a heavy impact on all of society. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These literacy components include:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1) Information-Media Literacy addresses the recognition of information need, knowledge of where that need can be met, skill in accessing information, ability to critically evaluate information and then ethically apply once located. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2) Computer Literacy responds to the practical need for fundamental skills of computer use in contemporary society where more of daily life requires basic knowledge of computers, of keyboarding and basic function skills related to the use of the computer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3) Technological-digital Literacy addresses appropriate and ethical understanding of use and application to current and future needs of these tools. This encompasses use for learning, communication, employment, and entertainment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4) Cultural Literacy addresses the symbols, idioms, allusions, references, and illustrations used daily in society based on common literary, historic, and social models. Shared understanding (of books, movies, television, history, politics, music, fads, social customs, language, etc.) facilitates individual learning and provides skills for many settings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any segments of the population experiencing difficulties in these areas translates into increased instances of poverty because better paying jobs are often beyond their reach. They can result in higher instances of crime and incarceration as some research suggests a definite correlation between illiteracy and incarceration. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inability to understand written or verbal communication can raise important issues of safety and healthcare. Inability to understand safety instructions, signs, or symbols endangers the worker and the workplace. Inability to understand written medical information, prescriptions and dosages has inherent danger to the individual, their coworkers and their family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Combined these can all translate into higher costs to the whole society as systems and programs are required to address the situations or issues related to the lack. The absence of these crucial skill sets generate problems that echo throughout society. A very old rhyme illustrates the significance of attending to the small and seemingly unimportant item: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a horse the rider was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a rider the message was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a message the battle was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The nail can be described as Adult literacy and left unattended it creates disaster but when dealt with it means the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adult learners seeking to improve their literacy skills can face many challenges. Time constraints, motivation, lack of supportive networks, self-defeating behaviors or negative attitudes are among the most prevalent of challenges facing any adult learner and especially the adult seeking to improve their literacy skills. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the issues are common to any student but some are unique or highlighted in the lives of adult learners. Time management skills are easily learned but it takes practice and discipline to apply them in real life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adults are often busy with families and work making it difficult to apply themselves to achieve successfully. Working, raising children, being a wife or husband, and perhaps even caring for extended family members the life of the adult learner can be extremely hectic and a constant round of crisis points. They can become easily overwhelmed and find it easier to give up than to focus on the goal of the own education. They often have so much they are balancing in just surviving, that they need help to learn to balance life to achieve more. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They may lack a strong supportive network of family or peers who contribute to their success or they may engage in behaviors or attitudes that sabotage their achievement. Without positive motivation from the family, community, or teacher, the student can give in to feelings of self-doubt, haunting fears of their past failures are resurrected, or their own deep-seated lack of confidence to achieve takes over. It can be easy for people to give into defeat; it can sometimes seem the easier road. Every student faces these challenges from grade school through college. Parents, however, can prod children but for the adult learner, they may have no one to prod them, urge them, or nudge them when they are stuck. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The dynamic within their family may actually work against them trying to succeed. Other in the circle of family or friends may be forced to evaluate their own life choices. Victims themselves of a cycle of limitation, feelings of jealousy, resentment, or self-doubt can surface to create tensions. Faced with accusations of ‘being better’ than family or friends many students simply give in and stop trying. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How can local communities groups face these challenges and help bridge the obstacles? How can the church library work with other agencies to stand in the gap for these learners? ‘Know the student’ is the rubric an educator should use when helping any student. Know their needs, instruct based on the needs, evaluate the success of the instruction, and then revise or continue as needed. Educators tackling the challenges of adult literacy are encouraged to apply standard skills of adequate advance preparation, flexibility, creativity, enthusiasm, tolerance, courage, positive attitudes and a desire to mentor successful behaviors in their students. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Additionally, an awareness of individual learning styles encourages greater success through differentiating instruction. Many adults were students who had different learning needs that interfered with their initial success in school. These under addressed needs hindered them from achieving at their optimum levels. Identifying the visual, auditory, kinetic, logical, or other learning styles of a student help them to recognize strengths, adapt coping measures, and apply themselves to learning with new vigor. This one step promotes greater engagement, achievement, and individualization based on student needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Synthesis of real world and learning world is important to helping students achieve. General student skills prove valuable in mastering issues of time management, awareness, access and use of community resources supporting their lifelong learning goals. They also serve as helpful information as the individual student replicates their learning experiences in the lives of family and friends. Issues of time management, for instance, can be shared with the student along with practical tips for applying it to the real world. The more practical based or referenced the skill, the easier the student will learn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using research based, standardized resources, such as the Just write! Guide from TEAL (Teaching Excellence in Adult Literacy) the educator can find clear helps to provide quality instruction and positive learning experiences. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, ongoing assessment of procedures and methods provides feedback to adjust and improve the education results in students. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The greatest tool of the educator, in addressing the needs of the adult literacy learner, is to see them as people who have an obstacle in their path. The educator becomes a mentor in helping the student birth the skills, processes, and strengths to move the obstacle from their path. The task of the educator is to not to provide the student with fish but to teach the student how to fish and then release them to wade into the depths on their own. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>5.</b> Serious and earnest prayer should be constantly used, before we consult the oracles of God, seeing "scripture can only be understood thro' the same Spirit whereby it was given." Our reading should likewise be closed with prayer, that what we read may be written on our hearts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>6.</b> It might also be of use, if while we read, we were frequently to pause, and examine ourselves by what we read, both with regard to our hearts, and lives. This would furnish us with matter of praise, where we found God had enabled us to conform to his blessed will, and matter of humiliation and prayer, where we were conscious of having fallen short.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> This list will be of interest to those who home school, those who teach in religious schools and programs, and to parents who are interested in addressing certain topics or issues. The focus is on books found easily in local school or public libary collections. Most can also be readily found for purchase, however, some may be harder to find and require the use of a local library. </span></span><br />

</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Many of these books are long standing classics and many have won awards for content, writing, or illustrations. Picture books, although designed for younger children, can be used up through middle school ages. The visual imagery and quality, coupled with excellent writing and story content can make them a good choice for short, impactful additions to lessons addressing the themes noted.</span></div>

To be 'information literate' means a person knows they need information, knows where to begin their information search, can evaluate the quality of resources found and can apply selective criteria to determine the best possible resources found. Watching the evening news, reading a book, scanning the headlines or listening to a speech all provide avenues to apply what is called 'media literacy' to the larger field of information literacy (the other literacy is called 'computer or technology literacy').</div>

of a text or a portion of Biblical scripture involves exegesis and brings
together your own reflection and thought with a thorough examination of a text
in context (historical, linguistically, etc.).
The first step is to thoroughly read and understand the text and then to
branch out to look at the history, word meanings, and other topics.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It was devised in 1876 by <br />
Melville Dewey and is one familiar to most who have used a school or public library. It is a system dividing books into one of two classfication groups (ooo-999). <br />
<br />
The groups categorize the topics or contents of a work into one of the following:<br />
<b><u>Dewey Decimal Classifcation System</u></b><br />
(From DDC 23)<br />
<br />
000 – General works, Computer science and Information<br />
100 – Philosophy and psychology<br />
200 – Religion<br />
300 – Social sciences<br />
400 – Language<br />
500 – Science<br />
600 – Technology<br />
700 – Arts & recreation<br />
800 – Literature<br />
900 – History & geography<br />
<br />
The classes are further broken down to specify specific topics. For example, looking at just the 200's where religion is gathered, it breaks down like this -<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dewey_Decimal_classes#Class_200_.E2.80.93_Religion" target="_blank">200 Religion</a><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Why The Church Library is Relevant" appeared in a 2010 issue of <a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/le/2010/august-online-only/churchlibraryrelevant.html">Christianity Today</a> and offered an argument that the church library offered the potential for considerable help to growing Christians in tough economic times. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A viable ministry of a local church library has its focus on supporting the overall mission of the church. It goes beyond a small, elite group who simply love literature or reading. The choices made in creating a resource center to address the needs of families, men, women, and all the myriad issues they face are just as crucial as planning any volunteer mission trip or evangelistic effort into a city center.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some quotes: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
C.S. Lewis</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diana Robinson</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Henry Ward Beecher </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It cannot be that the people should grow in grace unless they give themselves to reading. A reading people will always be a knowing people. ”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
John Wesley</div>
