Home Search God Saves His People - Part 1 Teacher's Guide - this is just one possible lesson plan. Visit the Moses Section for further ideas to supplement this. Introduction: The story of Moses being rescued from the basket in the reeds just goes to show that God is always looking out for us. God knew His plans for Moses even then, just like He knows the plans He has for us. It's so neat how we can look back at our lives and see God's hand in every situation, we may not understand why things happen but who better to trust your life in than God. The message: Preschool thru Grade 1: God saves His people. God saved Moses. Grades 2 and 3: God saved Moses because He had a purpose for him. He has a purpose for you too. I've split this message into two separate ones depending on the age level. For the younger children, the message evolves further from the God made families series, to God saves His people. For the older kids the message applies more to their lives and their importance in God's overall plan. Make sure you repeat the message many times during the lesson. For the older children, we expand on this message and say that "God has a purpose for your life". We all have a purpose and it's neat to know that God can use us in a special way to help him. Just like Moses, God knew he would deliver his people from Egypt, and do many other great things. Send the

III. Preschool Reading and the Bilingual Child Mariana and Elena Past Learn to Read English and Spanish How the Christian Children Learned to Read Spanish and English A Case of Korean/English Bilingualism and Biliteracy Plurilingualism and Pluriliteracy ... Summary If a monolingual child can get a headstart by learning to read before going to school, why can't a bilingual child get a double headstart by learning to read two languages before entering school? No one would deny the educational importance of skill in reading; nor would many deny the advantage of a knowledge of two spoken languages. The theoretical advantage of knowing how to read and write in two languages would seem to be self-evident, and yet biliteracy is rarely emphasized as an objective in our schools. This is an intriguing fact. Is there perchance a parallel between this fact and that other widely recognized fact that illiteracy and semiliteracy are common in our schools? If early readers rarely have difficulties in school, can we assume that bilingual children too would have no difficulties if they learned how to read in two languages before entering school? Personally I like Chester Christian's statement and implied solution of the problem: In an important sense, the education of those who speak two languages can never be "equal" to the education of monolinguals; it must be inferior or superior. Whether it will be the one or the other depends heavily on whether literacy is provided in only one or in both languages. (

The sun, moon, rocks, vegetables, elephants, butterflies, and dinosaurs are just a few of the exciting topics you will explore.

Hands-on and workbook activities are combined to teach letter names, 26 letter sounds (consonants and short vowels), sound blending, and correct handwriting. Students learn to read short vowel words, and by the end of the year they are reading very simple stories. The reading lessons may be used successfully with 5-year-old and mature 4-year-old children or with older children who are just beginning to learn letter sounds. Each unit also recommends a high-quality children’s read-aloud book that becomes the focus of related activities.

Join a Discussion on Ideas on Contemporary Education oor children who attend intensive preschool classes are more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to be arrested than poor children who have not participated in such programs, according to a study that followed graduates of urban preschools for 15 years. Although there have been previous studies of the effects of preschool education, none appear to have been as comprehensive and long-running as this one, which is being published today in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin tracked 1,500 children from Chicago beginning in 1985, at age 5, until age 20 and concluded that programs like Head Start could pay dividends long after children had learned to read — provided the programs were highly structured. The findings come at an opportune time for the Bush administration, which is preparing a scripted, pre-reading curriculum for the nation's 16,000 Head Start centers, a loose confederation that has traditionally been operated with few set rules. By contrast, the child-care centers in Chicago that are the subject of the study adhere to rigorous reading lessons. They are financed under another federal program, Title I.

If so, click here 1. Home language and literacy experiences that lead to the development of key print concepts are plentiful among children who enter school prepared to learn to read. Joint book reading with family members helps children develop a wide range of knowledge that supports them in school-based reading. Once students are in school, parental help in the form of modeling good reading habits and monitoring homework and television viewing is associated with gains in student achievement. Programs that assist families in initiating and sustaining these sorts of activities show positive benefits for children's reading achievement. 2. Preschool programs are particularly beneficial for children who do not experience informal learning opportunities in their homes. These preschool experiences include opportunities to listen to and examine books, say nursery rhymes, write messages, and see and talk about print. Such preschool experiences lead to improved reading achievement in the school years, with some effects proving durable through grade 3. 3. Skills that predict later reading success

Only 18 states require teachers in state-funded preschool to have at least a bachelor’s degree. And state spending on preschool ranges from a high of $10,088 per child in New Jersey to $451 in Maine.
