As required by the Food and Drug Admin- istration, vaccines are tested for safety before they enter the market, and their performance is continually evaluated to identify any risks that might appear over time. Vaccines are not free from side effects, or “adverse effects,” but most are very rare or very mild. Importantly, some adverse health problems following a vaccine may be due to coincidence and are not caused by the vaccine.

DESCRIPTORS *Educational History; *Educational Practices; Futures (of Society); Instructional Materials; *Reading Instruction; *Reading Processes; *Reading Research; Reading Skills; Teaching Methods IDENTIFIERS *Reading Theories ABSTRACT This paper discusses reading instruction in the 20th century. The paper begins with a tour of the historical pathways that have led people, at the century's end, to the "rocky and highly contested terrain educators currently occupy in reading pedagogy." After the author/educator unfolds his version of a map of that terrain in the paper, he speculates about pedagogical journeys that lie ahead in a new century and a new millennium. Although the focus is reading pedagogy, the paper seeks to connect the pedagogy to the broader scholarly ideas of each period. According to the paper, developments in reading pedagogy over the last century suggest that it is most useful to divide the century into thirds, roughly 1900-1935, 1935- 1970, and 1970-2000. The paper states that, as a guide in constructing a map of past and present, a legend is needed, a common set of criteria for examining ideas and practices in each period--several candidates suggest themselves, such as the dominant materials used by teachers in each period and the dominant pedagogical practices.

The simple view of reading (Rose 2006) with the two interacting dimensions, word recognition and language comprehension, is seen as essential to pupils becoming skilled readers. Understanding and applying the Simple View of Reading can inform and enhance high quality universal teaching. 2. From your earlier training you have been introduced to the Simple View of Reading. This webcast will suggest some strategies informed by using the Simple View of Reading model. WWW.patoss-dyslexia.org page 1 SVoR Strategies webcast text and slides First let’s briefly look at the Graduated Approach. The Graduated Approach embraces the Assess, Plan, Do and Review cycle. This model is crucial in judging which pupils will benefit from a targeted intervention and those who need a more intensive and individualised approach, usually delivered and/or overseen by a specialist teacher. [IfL 3. website] This ‘layered approach’ to intervention enables schools to plan their provision using pupil progress data and the Assess, Plan, Do and Review model to ensure additional provision at targeted and specialist levels is matched to the needs of their learners. Review impact on learner’s progress, ‘what is the outcome’, set specific date for review and adapt/ change intervention or seek further advice.

  • Correlation of Influenza Vaccination and Influenza Incidence on Covid-19 Severity
    Influenza and Covid-19 severity 1 Report Correlation of Influenza Vaccination and Influenza Incidence on Covid-19 Severity Mark Christopher Arokiaraj, MD DM, Cardiology, Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, India 605014. [email protected] Key words: Covid-19, Influenza vaccination, Influenza lower respiratory tract infections, Mortality, Morbidity, Immunity. Abstract The pandemic of Covid-19 is evolving worldwide, and it is associated with high mortality and morbidity. There is a growing need to discuss the elements of coordinated strategy to control the spread and mitigate the severity and mortality of Covid-19. H1N1 vaccine and streptococcus pneumonia vaccines are available. The current analysis was performed to correlate the severity of Covid-19 and influenza (H1N1) vaccination statistics and also the influenza lower respiratory tract incidence. There is a correlation between Covid-19 related mortality and morbidity and the status of influenza vaccination, which appears protective. The tendency of correlation is more visualized as the pandemic is evolving. The case incidence and recovery parameters also showed a beneficial trend. Since evolutionarily influenza is close to SARS-CoV-2 viruses and shares some common epitopes and mechanisms, there is a possibility of partial protection to reduce the Covid-19 related severity using the influenza vaccination. In countries where influenza immunization is less, there is a correlation between lower respiratory tract infections (LRI) and influenza attributable to lower respiratory tract infections incidence and Covid-19 severity, which is beneficial. Receiver operating curve (ROC) statistics showed an area under the curve of 0.86 (CI 0.78 to 0.944, P <0.0001) to predict Covid-19 mortality >150/million, and a decreasing trend of influenza LRI episodes.
