Helping children learn about reading From the National Association for the Education of Young Children Both of these activities help children make connections between words and meaning. They also help to create a warm, safe environment for children and lead to a lifetime love of reading and learning. Some parents assume that learning to read starts with memorizing the alphabet and sounding out words, but actually the fundamentals of reading begin much earlier. Adults lay the foundation for reading every day, when they point out objects and describe what they are doing while dressing an infant, grocery shopping with a toddler, or cooking with a preschooler. The most important thing is that teaching children about reading becomes an activity that brings children closer to the caring adults in their lives. Here are some tips for families who want to help their children make connections between meaning and words. Infants Talk or sing to your baby when you change his diaper, give him a bath, feed him lunch or join him in play. Introduce cardboard or cloth books with brightly colored pictures. Be aware that at this point, your baby might enjoy looking at, tossing, or chewing the books more than being read to!

Learning To Read/Reading To Learn Campaign Helping Children with Learning Disabilities to Succeed The National Center to Improve the Tools of Educators, based at the University of Oregon, sponsored the Learning To Read/Reading To Learn Campaign on July 9, 1996, at the Martin Luther King Memorial Public Library in Washington, D.C. NCITE Associate Director, Edward J. Kameenui released research results that shed light on the skills and understandings about literacy which children must acquire in order to learn to read. Reading Difficulty: A Widespread Phenomenon National longitudinal studies report that more than one in six young children (17.5%) will encounter a problem learning to read during their crucial first three years in school. The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) reported results that indicate every school in this country has a number of children who are failing the task of learning to read. Addressing the Reading Problem Three leading beginning reading researchers in the United States identified and reviewed hundreds of studies over the past 10 years on how children learn to read. The results of their analysis reveal that teachers and parents need to build a solid foundation for their students (especially those with learning disabilities) to succeed in learning to read. The 10 prerequisite skills that build this solid reading foundation are: Create appreciation of the written word Develop awareness of printed language Learn the alphabet Understand the relationship between letters and words

READING CHECKUP GUIDE HELPING YOUR CHILDREN BECOME BETTER READERS BROUGHT TO YOU BY Dear Parents and Caregivers: America needs every child to read. Yet as we step forward into a new century, millions of our children are falling behind. More than 40% of fourth-graders read below their grade level. An alarming 6.4 million children between kindergarten and third grade now face an illiterate future. William E. Trueheart, Ed.D. Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. NAEP 1994 Reading Report Card for the Nation and the States, U.S. Department of Education, 1996. A Special Note from the American Academy of Pediatrics As president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, I can tell you that you can make a difference by reading to your child. Pediatricians are acutely aware of the role that reading plays in infant brain and child development. We strongly recommend that parents read to their children daily from six months of age. Reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents.* We applaud RIF for developing this guide and Visa for making it available again this year.

References Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Education and Kids Related Articles Academic Interventions for Children with Dyslexia Who Have Phonological Core Deficits Phonics in Whole Language Classrooms Learning to read begins well before the first day of school. When Ron and Donna tell nursery rhymes to their baby, Mia, they are beginning to teach Mia to read. They are helping her to hear the similarities and differences in the sounds of words. She will begin to manipulate and understand sounds in spoken language, and she will practice this understanding by making up rhymes and new words of her own. She will learn the names of the letters and she will learn the different sounds each letter represents. As she gets a little older, Ron and Donna will teach her to write letters and numbers that she will already recognize by their shapes. Finally, she will associate the letters of the alphabet with the sounds of the words she uses when she speaks. At this point, she is on her way to learning to read! When she tries to read books with her parents, at school, and on her own, Mia will learn how to learn new words by sounding them out. With more practice, she will begin to recognize familiar words easily and quickly, and she will know the patterns of spelling that appear in words and the patterns of words as they appear in sentences. She will be able to pay attention not just to the letters and words, but to the meanings they represent. Ultimately, Mia will be able to think about the meaning of the text as she reads.

What families do is more important to student success than whether they are rich or poor, whether parents have finished high school or not, or whether children are in elementary, junior high, or high school. Yet, for all that common sense and research tell us, family involvement often remains neglected in the debate about American school reform. To focus more attention on this important subject, the U.S. Congress recently added to an initial list of six National Education Goals another that states: Every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children.

Return to NIFL Publications Page Put Reading First Helping Your Child Learn to Read A Parent Guide Preschool Through Grade 3 Success in school starts with reading. When children become good readers in the early grades, they are more likely to become better learners throughout their school years and beyond. Learning to read is hard work for children. Fortunately, research is now available that suggests how to give each child a good start in reading. Becoming a reader involves the development of important skills, including learning to: use language in conversation listen and respond to stories read aloud recognize and name the letters of the alphabet listen to the sounds of spoken language connect sounds to letters to figure out the "code" of reading read often so that recognizing words becomes easy and automatic learn and use new words understand what is read Preschool and kindergarten teachers set the stage for your child to learn to read with some critical early skills. First, second, and third grade teachers then take up the task of building the skills that children will use every day for the rest of their lives. As a parent, you can help by understanding what teachers are teaching and by asking questions about your child's progress and the classroom reading program. You can also help your children become readers. Learning to read takes practice, more practice than children get during the school day. This brochure describes what a quality reading program should look like at school and how you can support that program through activities with your children.

This shows the importance of building a love for reading at an early age when children are most impressionable. children who fall behind at an early age (even in Kindergarten and 1st grade) fall further and further behind over time. Without remedial help, child reading problems do not diminish over time, but persist through the school years and into adulthood. Among those children, 10-15 percent drop out of high school and only 2 percent complete a four-year college degree.

A National Tragedy: Helping Children Cope Tips for Parents and Teachers The recent tragic acts of terrorism are unprecedented in the American experience.  Children, like many people, may be confused or frightened by the news and will look to adults for information and guidance on how to react.  Parents and school personnel can help children cope first and foremost by establishing a sense of safety and security. As the nation learns more about what happened and why, adults can continue to help children work through their emotions and perhaps even use the process as a learning experience. All Adults Should: Model calm and control .  Children take their emotional cues from the significant adults in their lives. Avoid appearing anxious or frightened. Reassure children that they are safe and so are the other important adults in their lives. Explain that these buildings were targeted for their symbolism and that schools, neighborhoods, and regular office buildings are not at risk.Â

Legal Matters Helping Children Learn to Read The Importance of READING What National Research Shows: Reading serves as the major foundational skill for all school-based learning. Although reading and writing abilities continue to develop throughout life, the early childhood years - from birth through age eight - are the most important period for literacy development. Only 5% of children learn to read effortlessly. 20% - 30% of children learn to read relatively easily once exposed to formal instruction. 60% of children face a more formidable challenge: For 20% to 30% of these children, reading is one of the most difficult tasks they will have to master throughout their schooling. 90% to 95% of poor readers can greatly increase reading skills to average reading levels through prevention and early intervention programs that combine: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency development, and reading comprehension strategies that are provided by well trained teachers. 88% of poor readers in first grade have the probability of being poor readers in fourth grade.
