    Extractions: Why read a book to an infant who does not yet know the meaning of a word or of words at all? Why sing to a toddler who cannot understand your song? Both activities help children make connections between words and meaning. They also help to create a warm, safe environment for children and lead to a lifelong 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.

44. Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties
    ERIC Digest 72 discusses children with reading difficulties and how these children can be helped to read and learn more effectively.  
    http://reading.indiana.edu/ieo/digests/d72.html
    
    Extractions: ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest #72 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).

    http://reading.indiana.edu/ieo/digests/d90.html
    
    Extractions: ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest #90 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 literature-literary genres-and 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 genre-fiction, for example-to 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). If we have no established schema for the content, structure, or function of a play, then we may be unable to apply thinking skills to compare characters and predict conclusions. We probably learned those skills in the context of reading short stories, but we may not recognize the opportunity to apply those same thinking skills when reading a play. Therefore each type of literature presented to a young reader serves two important functions: to develop a schema for the literary genre and to encourage the application of thinking skills in a variety of literary engagements (Smith, 1991).

48. Reading: Helping Older Children Learn To Read
    Read reading activities make learning to read fun!  
    http://thedabblingmum.com/parenting/educatekids/olderreading.htm
    
    Extractions: A study entitled the National Assessment of Educational Progress showed the average reading score for a 15-year-old student has fallen since 1992. According to the National Institute for Literacy, 34.1% of applicants tested by respondent firms lacked the basic reading skills necessary to perform the jobs they sought in 2000. These problems begin in childhood and can plague an individual into adulthood, but what can parents, of older children and teens, do to make certain that their children do not fall into these statistics when most reading recommendations apply only to younger students and preschoolers?

    http://iusd.org/parent_resources/tentips.htm
    
    Extractions: IRVINE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FAMILY LITERACY PROJECT Ten Tips: Helping Your Child Read Effectively CHOOSING A BOOK 1. Too Easy. Ask your child to select a book and read. If two or three pages can be read without mistakes, ask the child to find a more difficult book to read. 2. Too Hard. If the child makes three mistakes per page, it may be too difficult and frustrating. Find an easier book for your child to read. HOWEVER, if the story and ideas seem very interesting to him/her, don't worry about the number of words not understood or recognized. 3. Just Right. Ask your child to read silently for several pages, then ask, "Please explain what you have just read," with the book closed. If your child can give you a brief idea of what the story is about, then he/she is reading and understanding the materials. If the child cannot understand or recall the story, then you know he/she has poor reading comprehension. IMPROVING UNDERSTANDING 4. Reading For Understanding. Children may be able to read the words, but often do not understand what the words mean. Helping them understand the world about them by talking to them about the things they see and use will improve their understanding of words. This may mean using difficult vocabulary and explaining what the words mean. 5. Improve Reading Understanding.

    Extractions: gregoryaist@yahoo.com Keywords: Reading, Children, Spoken dialog systems, Intelligent tutoring systems This paper addresses an indispensable skill using a unique method to teach a critical component: helping children learn to read by using computer-assisted oral reading to help children learn vocabulary. 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.

    Extractions: 288 pp. ISBN 0439-54258-8. Reviewed by Prisca Martens, Towson University, Towson, Maryland In Teaching for Comprehension in Reading Grades K-2 , Gay Su Pinnell and Patricia L. Scharer provide research-based, classroom-tested strategies and tools for helping primary-age children read efficiently and with understanding and confidence. The book grows out of the work of Pinnell, Scharer, and The Ohio State University Literacy Collaborative on guided reading, and addresses questions the authors have discussed with teachers on the process of comprehension and classroom management issues. While the book focuses on the primary grades, it does discuss the transition to intermediate grades and, in addition, many of the strategies and ideas can be used with older students as well. The 14 chapters, many authored by other members of the Literacy Collaborative, are divided into three parts. Part I, Expanding Our Understanding: The Foundation for Successful Teaching, examines aspects related to comprehension and the strategies readers use to process text. It opens with a discussion of what it means to comprehend a text, laying the foundation on which other chapters build. Also discussed in Part I are multifaceted ways to support students’ growth in comprehension and the critical relationship between emotion, cognition, and comprehension. Part I concludes by examining the changes in students’ processing and behavior between first and third grades and the implications of these changes for instruction.
