SEP endorses READ AMERICAhttp://www.readamerica.net/
Dear Concerned Americans:
This program is intended to motivate and to support Children from 5-10 years old (K- 4th grades)
in learning critical thinking and grade-level performance standards for school promotion. People of
all ages can help because all children who trust their peers, older
siblings and friends need to read out loud and think out aloud with poetry, schoolwork, newspapers,
magazines, religious studies and everything they view for fun. After all,
this is one of the few ways that we get to know them as independent thinkers and formal learners to
get ahead in our complex global society.
This SEP home and school study unit helps young learners to engage the work of a young poet
named, TyVion Harris and think. When you follow the study guide for the lesson young learner will
then “learn how-to respond to an author and his literature” j
This kind of English Language Arts practice activity will serve to increase critical thinking skills as
well as viewing, listening, response to poetry, and familiarity with grade level expectations at school
in English for everyone involved.
The added-value of this SEP educational DVD is successful when you use it over and over again
and make certain that loving and caring older siblings, family members and concerned friends also
help and even learn to present and “teach” younger learner this program. “Each one, teach one…”
was once the primary mode of education in the U.S. schools wherein all ages studied in the same
small quarters. We invite any and all of you who are reading this to teach this lesson after you
carefully review each section and study it for program goals and your own compatible ideas just like
in school. Sincerely, W. Calvin Anderson, MEd
Let’s Review Sections of the DVD:• Parent Involvement• Author Studies• Responding to Poetry• 3rd Grade Learning Standards• Reading Aloud and Sharing Ideas• Quiz Questions for Practicing Testing
SEP GoalsThe Student Empowerment Program in this application of theHumanities Review System is devoted to meeting the educational anddevelopmental of children 5 to 10 years old to flourish in criticalthinking and reading, viewing, listen and speaking.
The educational DVD is a supplement to a lesson. Students will: 1) listen, view and read for enjoyment; 2) foster an appreciation for
reading for pleasure; 3) increase in developing a basic or advanced reading vocabulary; 4) read aloud and think out loud and state the order of TyVion’s ideas
and the information; and5) read the State English Language Arts standards and “predict” that
the process of question and answer is the same as in their 2nd to 4th
grade English class in school.
MotivationPoet TyVion Harris
is an African American male who is 8 years old.African American males in many major cities andeducational communities suffer from poor selfesteem, poor grades, illiteracy and high drop outrates.
Early efforts by all ages who can read to increase educational appreciation of young learners
could prevent a lack of engagement and studentachievement in later years.
Can we learn about life watching, listening to and reading poetry?
