The Importance of Oral Language

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 15:00:00 GMT

My four-year-old son got in trouble the other day at his preschool. His teacher met me at the door when I picked him up, which is never a good sign. She told me that he used an inappropriate word, and my mind began racing as to what it could have possibly been. Apparently the teacher had repeatedly asked my son to pick up some toys, and he was not ready to do it. The last time she asked, he finally told her, “You are really annoying me.” When my son told me his side of the story, he concluded, “She didn’t like it when I said that.”

Although my son needs to work on the social use of language and when it is appropriate to use certain words and with whom, I will admit that I am pleased that annoy is now part of his vocabulary. Young children’s listening and speaking vocabulary is often far ahead of what they would recognize in print; and as parents, we can take advantage of this fact to develop critical reading comprehension skills. Vocabulary, or more specifically, oral language, is the foundation of listening and reading comprehension. Research suggests that early vocabulary development is an important predictor of success in reading comprehension, and children with a large store of oral language enter school at a higher readiness level because of the strong relationship between the number of words a child knows and his or her ability to comprehend text.

As a parent you can help your child’s oral language by engaging him or her in rich, stimulating conversations. Here are a few things that you might try:

Whenever you are talking with your child, give objects a specific name instead of using the words that or this.
Build on his or her vocabulary. For example, while counting the number of muffins you made, talk about another name for 12 that is used in baking. Talk about the difference between a dozen and a baker’s dozen.
Take a minute while unpacking the grocery bag to describe a piece of fruit in detail–give the fruit a name, talk about its physical characteristics and function, compare or contrast the fruit to another piece of fruit.
Play the game I Spy – describe an object and someone has to guess the name of the object.

Even when the demands of the day keep you from doing a specific oral language activity, remember that having a conversation with your child will also do the trick!

Teaching and Leading; Neuhaus Prepares Teachers to Do Both (CEO's Desk)

Thu, 05 Jan 2012 15:00:00 GMT

I fell in love with Neuhaus about fifteen years ago when I attended my very first class, a Saturday session of Multisensory Grammar. I had been teaching for several years and held a master’s in special education, but that first class showed me how much I could benefit students and teachers by participating in Neuhaus’ comprehensive programs. I joined the Neuhaus professional development staff and stayed two years until my family and I moved to Idaho, where I served in upper levels of administration in state education. My Neuhaus experience prepared me well for the challenges of my new job. The Idaho State Department of Education gave me the opportunity to learn about federal and state systems, and I was able to watch and study educational leaders initiate change on the national, state, local, and school level. It is with this knowledge and these skills that I return to Neuhaus as President and CEO.

This is a transformative time in education. There is much national debate about school reform; however, researchers acknowledge that real and lasting impact happens at the classroom level, where Neuhaus programs have shown their efficacy for 31 years and continue to evolve according to current research. Our classes are offered both on- and off-site, online, and through a variety of digital media. We have created Reading Teachers Network, allowing professionals to learn and share best practices. Our strong research component demonstrates the efficacy of our programs and adds to the general body of knowledge about reading. One aspect of Neuhaus is a constant: the emphasis on the teaching of reading. In our 31-year history we have provided professional development to more than 55,000 teachers. As one of those teachers, I not only learned a great deal about literacy instruction but also the value of collaboration and collective wisdom. I will continue to foster the relationships we have built with teachers, administrators, donors, Board members, and our talented staff. I assume my role knowing that Neuhaus has a wonderful foundation on which to build. We have the depth of knowledge, the experience, and the commitment to bring evidenced practices to every classroom. Our reach is impressive and it is just beginning. It feels good to be home.

Neuhaus/HISD Collaboration (UPDATED)

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 18:00:00 GMT

Suzanne Carreker speaking to HISD Participants

On August 11, 2011, the Board of Trustees of Houston Independent School District unanimously approved a professional development contract with Neuhaus Education Center. The contract outlines a plan for Neuhaus to provide literacy teachers and leaders with a solid foundation for delivering comprehensive literacy instruction. From September 2011 through May 2012, the plan will provide professional development to approximately:

Dr. Terry Grier, HISD Superintendent of Schools,
shares a story with participants

335 teacher development specialists, K-12 literacy coaches, and special education program specialists to support teacher implementation of effective literacy instruction in the classroom and to monitor and provide ongoing professional development to meet teacher needs;
350 Tier III K-12 teachers to plan effective instruction for students with dyslexia or other reading disabilities.

The overarching goal of this initiative is the improved literacy achievement of students in general education classrooms, as well as of students with dyslexia or other reading disabilities. Neuhaus has long believed that a knowledgeable and skilled teacher of reading is the best prevention of reading failure. With evidence-based and systematic reading instruction, teachers will find success in their classrooms: Each success means better readers with brighter futures.

Former Idaho Deputy Superintendent for Student Achievement and School Improvement Selected in National Search

After a national search, Neuhaus Education Center has selected Marybeth Flachbart, Ed.D., as its President & CEO. Most recently, Dr. Flachbart served as Deputy Superintendent of Student Achievement and School Improvement at the Idaho State Department of Education.

Previously, Dr. Flachbart taught in the Houston and Deer Park Independent School Districts, where her classroom experience included ten years of both general and special education. From 1998-2000, she was a staff member of Neuhaus Education Center, where she instructed teachers on the best research-based solutions for reading success.

Neuhaus Board Chairman, Patricia Calnon-Allen said, “We are delighted that Marybeth has returned to lead the Neuhaus team. Neuhaus has long been dedicated to preventing reading failure by providing teachers professional development in research-based methods of literacy instruction. Marybeth will help us move closer to realizing our vision of being the premier source for successful reading instruction.”

“When Marybeth implemented statewide reading academies for kindergarten and first-, second-, and third-grade teachers in Idaho, she utilized Neuhaus methodologies and materials. Subsequently, student achievement rose steadily, surpassing all benchmarks established by the state legislature,” commented Dr. Suzanne Carreker, Neuhaus Vice President of Programs. “With Marybeth leading the way, we know we can increase momentum nationwide, particularly through our online classes and interactive website, Reading Teachers Network.”

“I know firsthand that Neuhaus builds better readers and brighter futures. Its proven, research-based curriculum is stellar. Research has shown that the teacher is the single most important external variable associated with student achievement. I am excited to bring what I have learned about whole-system change to Neuhaus and I am ready to accelerate the pace of the work of our mission in a collaborative manner with staff, board, donors, and educators,” emphasized Dr. Flachbart.

Dr. Flachbart is certified in K-12 Special Education. She is also a Neuhaus-educated Dyslexia Specialist. She holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction from Boise State University, a master’s degree in special education from Fairfield University, and a bachelor’s degree from Marymount Manhattan.

Annual Benefit Luncheon and Seminar

Fri, 27 May 2011 17:00:00 GMT

On March 2, 2011, Neuhaus Education Center hosted its Annual Benefit Luncheon featuring Robert Brooks, Ph.D. Dr. Brooks captivated the 1,000 luncheon attendees with his knowledge and humor. He spoke of the role and importance of a "charismatic" adult in a child's life.

The Luncheon, co-chaired by Wendy C. Fatjo and Kathryn Smith, raised more than $374,000 for teacher professional development. Elizabeth DeLuca, underwriter chair, and Tana Wood and Kim Martin, auction chairs, secured sponsors and in-kind donations. Melinda Overstreet, decorations chair, did a beautiful job with decorations and worked closely with Kroger who donated all of the center pieces. The honoree this year was the George and Mary Josephine Hamman Foundation, represented by Mary Milby. The Luncheon was held at the Hilton Americas Hotel.

A Word from the Founding Director

WOW! What a great beginning for our 31st year. SMU honors us with the Luminary Award in January. Our March Luncheon at its new location at the Hilton Americas was a huge success with keynote speaker Robert Brooks, Ph.D. The next day, Dr. Brooks presented to a sellout crowd at Neuhaus.

In April, Dyslexia State Coordinator Virginia Gonzales spoke to parents and teachers at Neuhaus. The SMU Masters in Reading and Writing Program will begin with its third cohort this summer. Meanwhile, Neuhaus staff traveled the country from Michigan to Idaho to Iowa.

New summer classes include SOAR Reading, SOAR Writing, Unexpected Underachievment and Working with English Language Learners: The Transition into English. Thanks to the Garden Club of Houston and the River Oaks Garden Club, the refurbished Educators Courtyard is filled with shade trees for summer. Teachers can enjoy breaks among the native plants.

Recent developments include the Brown Foundation’s grant for KASTOR (Knowledgable and Skilled Teachers of Reading), a new project that focuses on mentoring reading teachers with fewer than three years of teaching experience.

In these critical times for our schools, we are grateful to our donors for the teacher scholarships we can provide to reading teachers. Teachers need to be experts to meet the varied needs in their classrooms, often without the help of reading specialists. We offer teachers professional development in literacy instruction, and we treat them as the professionals they are!
