Early Literacy Instruction And Intervention, Stephanie Al Otaiba, Barbara R. Foorman
Early Literacy Instruction And Intervention, Stephanie Al Otaiba, Barbara R. Foorman
Community Literacy Journal
The purpose of this paper is to describe the efficacy of early literacy interventions and to discuss possible roles for volunteer tutors in helping prevent reading difficulties within the Response to Intervention process. First, we describe a landmark study that evaluated the impact of primary classroom instruction on reducing the proportion of students at risk for reading failure, and a more recent series of studies exploring the effects of individualizing classroom reading instruction based on students’ initial skills. Second, we review studies of more intensive early intervention to demonstrate how these interventions substantially reduce the proportion of students at risk. …
Literacy Across The Lifespan: What Works?, Timothy Shanahan
Literacy Across The Lifespan: What Works?, Timothy Shanahan
Community Literacy Journal
This article explores similarities in literacy learning across various life-span stages and considers what actions must be taken to improve literacy attainment and achievement, whether the delivery site is prekindergarten, elementary, secondary, adult, family, workplace, volunteer, or community literacy. The emphasis here is on what it takes to successfully teach individuals to read and write well separate from any adjustments that must be made for context or learner characteristics. Research is examined for five essential variables in literacy learning, including (1) amount of teaching; (2) content of instruction; (3) quality of instruction; (4) student motivation; and (5) alignment and support.

Programming Family Literacy: Tensions And Directions, Kimberly Lenters
Community Literacy Journal
This paper explores the following questions related to family literacy programs: How is family literacy linked with family literacy programs? What are the theoretical frameworks supporting the various models educators and researchers are using in their pedagogical approaches to family literacy programs? As these questions are explored several tensions and directions in programming family literacy become apparent. By examining the various models in this way, family literacy providers and others interested in family and community literacy may be better equipped to evaluate the underlying principles of the programs they use and thereby make informed choices with regard to programming.

Hope, “Repair,” And The Complexities Of Reciprocity: Inmates Tutoring Inmates In A Total Institution, Shannon Carter
Hope, “Repair,” And The Complexities Of Reciprocity: Inmates Tutoring Inmates In A Total Institution, Shannon Carter
Community Literacy Journal
This article analyzes one prison literacy program in Texas that trains inmate participants to teach other men and women, likewise incarcerated and often dyslexic, to read and write in English. Noting the regular recurrence of the words “repair” and “hope” in participants’ descriptions of HOPE and associated activities, the author makes extensive use of feminist-epistemologist Elizabeth Spelman’s theory of “repair” and Paula Mathieu’s articulation of “hope” in her attempt to understand the nuances of “repair” and the “hope” it enables/generates behind these prison walls. Finally, given HOPE’s configuration as a faith-based program with Christian origins and Carter’s own position as …

Poetry From Solentiname, Nicaragua, Martha Lorena Sandoval Obando, Alexander Carbonero, Johana De Los Ángeles Masis
Poetry From Solentiname, Nicaragua, Martha Lorena Sandoval Obando, Alexander Carbonero, Johana De Los Ángeles Masis
Community Literacy Journal
Ernesto Cardenal, former Minister of Culture of Nicaragua and recently nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, began painting, wood carving, and poetry workshops on Solentiname—an archipelago of 36 islands and 1,000 people—in the mid-1960s as part of his developing an artistic and contemplative community among sustenance farmers and fishing families. Forty years later, he continues to spend time on the islands and the church he built there, and holding poetry workshops as recently as January 2008. These poems are from young people who participate in the community poetry workshops.
“You Have To Knock At The Door For The Door Get Open”: Alternative Literacy Narratives And The Development Of Textual Agency In Writing By Newly Literate Adults, Lauren Rosenberg
“You Have To Knock At The Door For The Door Get Open”: Alternative Literacy Narratives And The Development Of Textual Agency In Writing By Newly Literate Adults, Lauren Rosenberg
Community Literacy Journal
This article is part of a project that involves case studies of four adults who attend an informal literacy center. I examine people’s motivations to write when their main purpose is not to gain a degree or other credentials. Here I focus on one study member and how she uses writing to gain textual agency. By composing narratives that investigate her social positioning, this woman rewrites her own story. I demonstrate how her texts and interview comments reveal a strong desire to connect with public audiences so that other people might follow her model of speaking out to change culture.

Rhetorical Witnessing: Recognizing Genocide In Guatemala, Elizabeth A. Flynn, RüDiger Escobar Wolf
Rhetorical Witnessing: Recognizing Genocide In Guatemala, Elizabeth A. Flynn, RüDiger Escobar Wolf
Community Literacy Journal
The article explores the rhetorical dimensions of witnessing. We concentrate, in particular, on two groups: 1) university students at the University of San Carlos, Quetzaltenango, whose murals are dramatic reminders of the massacres that resulted in the deaths of over 200,000 indigenous people in the 1980s and early 90s and of the corrupt governmental leaders responsible for them, and 2) U.S. accompaniers sponsored by an organization within our own community, the Copper Country Guatemala Accompaniment Project (CCGAP).
Market-Driven Hotel Brands: Linking Market Orientation, Innovation, And Performance, Chekitan S. Dev, Sanjee Agarwal, M. Krishna Erramilli
Market-Driven Hotel Brands: Linking Market Orientation, Innovation, And Performance, Chekitan S. Dev, Sanjee Agarwal, M. Krishna Erramilli
Hospitality Review
"Market orientation" is a term popularized by marketing practitioners to indicate the extent to which a firm is market driven. This presumed linkage between market orientation and profitability has caught the attention of scholars, but, surprisingly, only two prior studies have reported a positive association between the two. Given the special relevance to the hotel industry of being market driven, we believe this industry provides the ideal setting for demonstrating the link between market orientation and performance. This research examines this linkage in the hotel industry. The results of our study suggest that market orientation is positively and significantly related …

General Managers In Mid-Scale Hotels: Are They Plateaued?, Sheryl Fried Kline, Howard Adler, Richard F. Ghiselli, Shin Yu Huang
General Managers In Mid-Scale Hotels: Are They Plateaued?, Sheryl Fried Kline, Howard Adler, Richard F. Ghiselli, Shin Yu Huang
Hospitality Review
This research investigated the career-plateau patterns of general managers (GMs) in mid-scale hotels. In regard to plateau categories, by far the largest number of GMs reported that they were in the productively plateaued category. The hotel industry can use this research to view the career satisfaction and productivity of GMs in light of the plateau pattern into which they are classified.

Cybergriping: Violating The Law While E-Complaining, Juline E. Mills, Brian J. Tyrrell, William B. Werner, Robert H. Woods
Hospitality Review
The emergence of Web communications has given rise to complaint sites which serve as central forums for both consumers and employees to share their bad experiences. These complaint sites provide for cybergriping in various forms. This paper explores the concept of cybergriping and its relevance to the hospitality and tourism industry from employee and customer perspectives. Court cases in which cybergriping played a key role are reviewed, and recommendations are offered on how hospitality and tourism businesses can address the problem of cybergriping.
Strategy For Hospitality Businesses In The Developing World, Michael D. Olsen, Amit Sharma, Inigo Echeveste, Eliza Ching-Yick Tse
Strategy For Hospitality Businesses In The Developing World, Michael D. Olsen, Amit Sharma, Inigo Echeveste, Eliza Ching-Yick Tse
Hospitality Review
The purpose of this paper is to present an alternate framework for evaluating strategic decisions of hospitality businesses in developing nations, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). While strategy literature is extensive and diverse, it remains focused on developed nation contexts. By default, so is the case with hospitality strategy literature. This has created a paucity of research for hospitality businesses in developing nations; these businesses are largely SMEs in dynamic environments seldom similar to the ones in developed nations. Therefore, the proposed framework emphasizes the role of environment, and its relationship to strategic choice, resource allocation, and strategy evaluation. …
