Ms Alison McDonald, Englistic Educational Services, SA
EES produces resources for teachers of English literacy skills, and makes
available to all interested teachers, parents and students of English through
workshops and specific resource materials, the ‘Sounds to Symbols’ method of
teaching language arts. This submission addresses four main issues: readiness
for formal learning and assessment; foundation for the acquisition of literacy;
what is meant by “phonics”?; and teaching writing before reading.

Ms Anna Gill, NSW
This submission says that the debate on literacy should move to discussing when
the literacy education process begins – pre-school or primary school? It argues
that the Australian Government should provide pre-school literacy education for
all children as an ongoing requirement. The writer is the author of Look at
My Mouth, a self-explanatory book that is designed to help children make
natural and important connections between the pictures, mouth movements, words,
sounds and eventually, letters of the alphabet.

Mr Bruce Neil, QLD
This submission promotes the benefits of Applied Scholastics Study Techniques
which, if correctly applied, it is claimed would solve so many of the problems
that teachers, school children and parents are experiencing today: boredom,
stress, lack of interest and an inability to use what they are being taught,
poor exam results etc. The submission encourages the Inquiry and the Committee
to examine the Applied Scholastic techniques as part of its deliberations.

This submission promotes the benefits of L Ron Hubbard’s study manuals as used
by Applied Scholastics Australia. The writer has used this study technology for
over 10 years for study purposes, and teaching and instructing others, with
great results, each and every time, and urges the Inquiry to undertake further
investigations.

Mr Richard Ransley, NSW
This submission says that the phonics method leaves between three and ten per
cent of students illiterate into adulthood, and the whole-word method even more.
The submission promotes the use of such programs as Jolly Phonics and
Phonics-Graphix that teach the English alphabetic code, mapping to
individual phonemes and phoneme awareness. The writer is a trainee teacher.

Associate Professor Jo-Anne Reid, NSW
This submission raises four points in relation to one of the issues of concern
for the Inquiry – the issue of teacher training and the extent to which it
prepares teachers for reading instruction. These are: first, the need for the
inquiry to take account of the history of teacher education; second, the need to
avoid the problems associated with the foregrounding of a single method of
reading instruction over others; third, the need to be aware of research
findings regarding the link between the success of children in reading and
social issues such as poverty and access to mainstream cultural experience; and
last, the need to acknowledge and support teacher education’s efforts to
increase the time and quality of reading instruction for pre-service teachers.
The writer is the Head, School of Teacher Education, Charles Sturt University.

Mrs Julie Conroy, WA
This submission says that reading the book, Grammar and Communication for
Children which was bought from Applied Scholastics, enabled her to be so
much more proficient in the use of spoken and written grammar. The submission
claims this material should be made available to all students and teachers in
the public education system.

Mr Peter Altmeier-Mort, WA
This submission expresses concerns about the lack of ability with pronunciation,
meanings of words, grammar, spelling and study methodology, which the writer has
observed in students at high school. The submission recommends the Study
Technology of Applied Scholastics as something that encompasses all the basics
of learning language, grammar, how to study, and how to learn. It is claimed
that these methods demonstrate to students that it is possible to learn with
certainty, real understanding, personal reward, and a sense of responsibility
for one’s own learning and education, and the submission recommends that the
Inquiry become familiar with Study Technology for its goal of improving literacy
and reading skills for our nation’s school children.

essentially a specialist bookshop in Camberwell, Victoria which facilitates

Ms Michelle McPhee, WA
The writer has studied L Ron Hubbard's Study Technology and says that she has
had amazing personal results from learning how to study effectively. This
submission suggests that teachers in Australian must be made aware of this
invaluable Study Technology as without it our children are not being taught
effective study techniques that will stay with them for their entire lives.

Mr Mark Drummond, ACT
Using a specific case example, this submission urges the Inquiry to acknowledge
both that it is important that people read carefully, and that there are great
benefits that can arise when national and community leaders set a good example
to citizens generally and children in particular in their own personal
demonstration of literacy skills and their commitment to careful reading and
literacy generally.

Ms Marjolein Collins, ACT
This submission discusses factors which result in low literacy levels, and says
that the Applied Scholastics course written by L Ron Hubbard has enabled the
writer to understand why a student is unable to progress and more importantly to
be able to help that student. The submission urges the Inquiry to find out about
the training and education programs offered by Applied Scholastics and to
incorporate the materials into the public education system as a matter of
urgency.
