Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy - Readers use knowledge of their native language as they read in a second language (Durgunoglu & Oney, 2000)

- Possibly, transferability is bi-directional (Fitzgerald, 1999)

Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy

-Monolingual beginning reading instruction in Filipino had positive effects on children’s English literacy skills – specifically in terms of the alphabet and phonological awareness (Aquino, 2005)

- Filipino and English bilingual-biliterates show cross-language interactions of various reading and language based skills (Ocampo, 2005)

Ready or not, someday, all will come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, no hours or days.

All the things you collected whether treasured or forgotten will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations and jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, plans and list to do will expire.

The wins and loses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won’t matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived.

It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.

Even your gender, skin color will be irrelevant.

So what will matter?How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought but what you built.

What will matter is not your success but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered and encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence but your character.

What will matter is not how many people you know but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.

What will matter is not your memories that lived in those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s not a matter of circumstances but out of choice.
