Our culture no longer views reading literature as simply its primary means for escape and adventure. It is now recognized that there is value in reading poems, plays, fiction, and humorous pieces, whether for enjoyment or for purposes of bibliotherapy (See Aiex, 1993). Literature should be an important part of any classroom reading program. This digest focuses on the different types of literatureliterary genresand particularly on the folktale. The analysis of different types of literature promotes cognitive development because it gives students an opportunity to apply similar skills and strategies, such as identifying themes discussed in one genrefiction, for exampleto other genres like poetry, reports, descriptive pieces, and plays (Smith, 1991). SCHEMA THEORY The major intellectual function that each literary genre provides can be examined in terms of schema theory. Schema theorists assume that concepts are organized in our minds in groups that have an understandable network, at least understandable to the individual (Bartlett, 1932).

Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties. ERIC Digest. Almost everyone knows a story about the nice little youngster (or sometimes, a grownup) who works hard but can't seem to learn to read and to write. The child's mother works with him or her at home, reading to the child and reading with the child. The child has a tutor at school. The youngster tries with all his/her might, even to the point of tears, but the symbols and the words won't stick. Though apparently learned today at great pain, tomorrow they will be gone. The question is: what do we know about problem readers that will help us guide them? This digest will discuss children with reading difficulties and how these children can be helped to read and learn more effectively. DYSLEXIA Most children begin reading and writing by the first, second, or third grade. By the time they are adults, most can't recall or can't remember what it was like not to be able to read and write, or how difficult it was to figure out how to translate patterns on a page into words, thoughts, and ideas. These same adults usually cannot understand why some children have not yet begun to read and write by the third grade. They have even more difficulty understanding how adults can function in our society with only the most rudimentary literacy skills.

Solutions A to Z That Ole Book Magic Cast a spell with these easy activities from FamilyFun by Mary Leonhardt of 5 Helping children fall in love with books has been a personal crusade of mine for two decades, both as a high school English teacher and a mother of three. In observing my students over the years, I've discovered that avid readers acquire their love of reading at home, from their parents. No teacher can pass along a passion for books the way a loving mother or father can. My best readers remember cozy bedtime stories, sharing books with friends and siblings, andperhaps most importantthe freedom and encouragement to read whatever they wanted to. What follows are some tips for nurturing an early love of reading. These ideas are offered as a jumping-off point; all children are different, and what works for one child may not work for another. The key thing to remember is that anything to do with reading and writing needs to be fun. If you tune into your child's interests and passions, you'll be able to develop your own strategies for giving him a lifelong love of readingin my view, the best gift we parents can give our children.

It's like a little leaguer leaning to hit a baseball. The young hitter must learn to watch the ball when it is pitched, to step into it, and to swing the bat to make the hit. It's a single event made up of three acts. Baseball players learn to do all three at once. The same is true of learning language. When we use language, we speak words out loud, we read words on paper, and we write. This section has activities that encourage your child to

Stanford Report, Tuesday, February 25, 2003 Remediation training improves reading ability of dyslexic children BY LISA TREI For the first time, researchers have shown that the brains of dyslexic children can be rewired after undergoing intensive remediation training to function more like those found in normal readers. The training program, which is designed to help dyslexics understand rapidly changing sounds that are the building blocks of language, helped the participants become better readers after just eight weeks. The findings were released Monday in "Neural deficits in children with dyslexia ameliorated by behavioral remediation: Evidence from functional MRI," published by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Early Edition "It was very dramatic to see the huge differences that occurred in the brains of these children," said Stanford psychology Professor John Gabrieli, one of the study's authors. "The intervention, although substantial, only covered eight weeks. One note of optimism about the study is that such a limited intervention can have a substantial effect on reading scores." Brain imaging scans of the children who participated in the training showed that critical areas of the brain used for reading were activated for the first time, and that they began to function more normally. Furthermore, additional regions of the brain were activated in what the researchers believe the dyslexics may have used as a compensatory process as they learned to read more fluently.

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Introduction You could say a baby starts on the road to becoming a reader the day she is born. Right away she hears sounds and sees movements. Every time you speak to her, sing to her, and respond to the sounds she makes, you strengthen her interest in language. With you and others there to guide her, she is on her way to becoming a reader. Reading is an important part of language. In fact, you might think of language as a four-legged stool. The four legs are talking, listening, reading, and writing. All four legs are important; each helps support and balance the others. This book tells how you can use all your language skills to build those of your child. It is designed for helping children from infancy to age 6the most important years for learning the skills they will need to become readers. The book offers suggestions on how to talk with your child, read aloud with her, help her learn about printed words and what they mean, show her you value reading, and

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Reading Together Imagine sitting your baby in your lap and reading a book to him for the first time. How different from just talking. Now you're showing him pictures! You point to them. You explain what they are in a lively way. You've just taken the next step beyond talking. You've shown him that words and pictures connect. And you've started him on his way to enjoying books. While your child is still a baby, reading aloud to him should become part of your daily routine. Pick a quiet time. Before you put him to bed is a good time; it gives him a chance to rest between play and sleep. If you can, read with him in your lap or snuggled next to you so he feels close and safe. As he gets older, he may need to move around some while you read to him. If he gets tired or restless, stop. Make reading aloud a quiet and comfortable time that your child looks forward to. Chances are he will like reading more because of it. Try to spend at least 30 minutes each day reading to and with your child. At first, read for no more than a few minutes at a time, several times a day. As he grows older, you should be able to tell if he can read for longer periods. But don't be discouraged if you skip a day or don't always keep to your schedule. Just get back to your daily routine as soon as you can. Most of all, make sure reading stays fun for both of you!

Growing Attention to Helping Our Children Read The Arts Can Play a Critical Role Nancy Langan, Director, Arts Education and Community Development Through the "Reading Aloud" program at Arts in Progress in Boston, Mass., artists help preschoolers to develop their reading skills. Forty percent of America's 4th graders cannot read at the basic level when given national reading assessments. And research shows that if students can't read well by the 3rd grade, their chances for later success are significantly diminished, including a greater likelihood of dropping out, fewer job options, and increased delinquent behaviors. With a number of activities at the national, state and local level addressing this literacy crisis there are many opportunities for the arts community to play a critical role in helping our children learn to read and succeed in school. Recently, President Clinton announced the America Reads Challenge , an initiative that calls on all Americans parents, educators, libraries, universities, college students, the media, community and national groups, cultural organizations, business leaders and senior citizens to work with schools and help ensure that every American child can read well and independently by the end of 3rd grade.

Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children Catherine E. Snow, M. Susan Burns, and Peg Griffin, Editors Committee on the Prevention of Reading Difficulties in Young Children, National Research Council Table of contents ... PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION Helping Children with Reading Difficulties in Grades 1 to 3 As indicated in Chapters and , many children learn to read with good instruction, but some do not. And many children have problems learning to read because of poor instruction. In all cases, the question is what kinds of additional instruction (usually called "interventions" because they are not part of the regular school reading instruction) are likely to help. The purpose of providing extra instructional time is to help children achieve levels of literacy that will enable them to be successful through their school careers and beyond. It is not simply to boost early literacy achievement. Given the focus of this volume, we restrict our discussion to the primary grades; however, it is likely that children who have had interventions in the primary grades will need additional supplementary experiences in the upper grades as well. We know that the literacy demands are of a different nature for older children; as children proceed through the grades, they are expected to learn from informational text with which they may have had few experiences in the primary grades (see Fisher and Hiebert, 1990); they are expected to use text independently; and they are expected to use text for the purpose of thinking and reasoning. Long-term follow-up studies reveal that even very powerful early interventions often require "booster" sessions.

Events Helping your child with reading - advice for parents of pre-school children Children learn by example. If your child sees you enjoying reading - books, magazines, newspapers he/she will want to join in. Join your local library and try to go as often as possible. Spend some time there and don't be afraid to ask librarians for recommendations - that's part of their job! You can also put in requests for specific books which may already be out on loan. Choosing books can be fun, and don't object if your child wants the same book again and again. Encourage children to enjoy books on their own, especially those with which they are familiar. They might 'read' them to their toys, or to a visiting Granny or Uncle. For birthday or family celebrations, encourage grandparents, family and friends to give books as presents. Talk to your child. It sounds obvious but the more you use words with your child, the more he will enjoy them. Talk to them about pictures in books, magazines or advertising hordings.
