Why sing to a toddler who cannot understand your song? B oth 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. S ome 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. T he 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.

Click here for a list of scholarly journal articles on the topic of family/parental influences on adolescent pregnancy. Home Useful Tips Ten Tips For Parents To Help Their Children Avoid Teen Pregnancy The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy has reviewed recent research about parental influences on children's sexual behavior and talked to many experts in the field, as well as to teens and parents themselves. From these sources, it is clear that there is much parents and adults can do to reduce the risk of kids becoming pregnant before they've grown up. Presented here as "ten tips," many of these lessons will seem familiar because they articulate what parents already know from experience - like the importance of maintaining strong, close relationships with children and teens, setting clear expectations for them, and communicating honestly and often with them about important matters. Research supports these common sense lessons: not only are they good ideas generally, but they can also help teens delay becoming sexually active, as well as encourage those who are having sex to use contraception carefully.

As his father walked in to say goodnight, Alec began translating the book into Russian. "It was a good translation," said his mother. "He was translating for sense, not word for word." These are the rare moments when parents of bilingual children breathe a sigh of relief, bathed in the often temporal sense that the juggling of syntax and semantics and dueling alphabets has paid off. The efforts of Alec's English mother and Tazik father have been far from ordinary, with English preschool, a Russian nanny and Russian classes twice a week. They have subscribed to the very popular one-parent, one-language approach to raising bilingual children: Susannah Simon, the mother, speaks English, and Misha, the father, speaks Russian.

Myers-Walls, Extension Specialist, Human Development Introduction Stress is a response to change or conflict. It is usually considered to be negative and damaging. However, not all forms or levels of stress are bad. Competing in sports and achieving in school or at work are examples of positive stressors. Stress becomes negative when the pressures surrounding these and other situations become too great or when several small stressors occur at once, and one can no longer adjust. It is becoming evident that this type of stress overload is taking its toll on children as well as adults. This publication explains how stress exists in your child's world from infancy through the teen years. You will learn how to recognize signs of stress and help your child express, understand, and manage pressure. Suggestions on preventing excessive stress for your child also are provided.

70. VPIRC: Child Development: Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties helping children Overcome reading Difficulties Prepared by Carl B.Smith and Roger Sensenbaugh. Almost everyone knows a story about http://www.vpirc.net/child/vpirc_readingdiff.shtml

Friday, June 11, 2004 Children and Reading Quick Menu Articles About Reading Reading Web Sites Recommended Reading Lists Developmental Web Sites Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties Prepared by: Carl B. Smith and Roger Sensenbaugh 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. Dyslexia is perhaps the learning disability that is most widely known, primarily because of Barbara Bush's efforts to make adults aware of the problem of children with this and other learning disabilities. Stories about children (and adults) trying to overcome their learning disabilities appear in the mass media with some regularity. Despite the relative familiarity of the word "dyslexia," there is no clear-cut, widely accepted definition for dyslexia. In the broadest sense, dyslexia refers to the overwhelming difficulty in learning to read and write by normally intelligent children exposed to suitable educational opportunities in school and at home. These often very verbal children's reading levels fall far below what would have been predicted for their quick and alert intelligence (Bryant and Bradley, 1985).

Helping Children Adjust HELPING CHILDREN ADJUST - A TRIMINISTRY PROJECT (1991 - 1997) This project took place in 60 schools from 10 Ontario boards. It evaluated school-based programs designed to reduce maladaptive behaviour in young children. The project was funded by the Ontario Ministries of Education, Community and Social Services and Health, and by the participating boards. The first results from the study are available now and are summarised below. Also, we would like to thank those of you who participated in this project. Your hard work has made an important contribution to increasing the understanding of how to reduce and prevent emotional and behavioural problems in children. ... the project team Table of Contents Program descriptions Program evaluation Program results What have we learned? ... Study implications 1. What programs were offered? Social Skills Program In the Social Skills program, children learned 22 skills to help them in communicating and getting along with people, and in problem solving and coping with difficulties. Teachers modelled these skills in the classroom for the children and encouraged their use through the school day. Parents were kept up to date with the skills being taught and learned ways to encourage good behaviour at home. Teachers also met to develop and share strategies for managing behaviour in the classroom and the entire school staff met together to work on a school-wide discipline plan. Partner Reading Program A Partner Reading program (Connections) helped children improve reading, listening and thinking skills by pairing older and younger students together. Children learned how to pick books they would enjoy, ways to engage others in reading and how to improve their reading efficiency. They also learned how to be a good partner. The home component of the program gave parents ways to be actively involved in improving their children's reading skills and in having fun reading together. Teachers met to develop new strategies to encourage student reading, story making and thinking.

Why should you read this paper? Literacy matters: The increasing demands of the information economy require higher and higher standards of reading ability from everyone , not just the privileged few. There is a clear need for better tools for literacy development: The United States Department of Education’s National Assessment of Educational Progress reported that 69% of American fourth graders read below desired proficiency; 38% were below even the basic level (Donahue et al., 1999). Vocabulary knowledge plays a critical role in reading, by enabling and facilitating comprehension (Snow, Burns, and Griffin, 1998). Using computers to boost vocabulary learning holds promise for offering children frequent, engaging practice with the meanings of words.
