Home Overview News Resources ... Contact PAT Fun Activities Featured Activities Literacy Activities Messy Activities Literacy Activities Becoming a Reader Typical Language Accomplishment Becoming A Reader Every step a child takes toward learning to read leads to another. Bit by bit, the child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader. Over their first 6 years, most children Talk and Listen. Listen to stories read aloud. Pretend to read. Learn how to handle books. Learn about print and how it works. Identify letters by name and shape. Identify separate sounds in spoken language. Write with scribbles and drawing. Connect single letters with the sounds they make. Predict what comes next in stories and poems. Connect combinations of letters with sounds. Recognize simple words in print. Sum up what a story is about. Write individual letters of the alphabet. Write words. Write simple sentences. Read simple books. Write to communicate. Children can take more than one of these steps at the same time. This list of steps, though, gives you a general idea of how your child will progress toward reading. Typical Language Accomplishment Learning to read is built on a foundation of language skills that children start to learn at birth-a process that is both complicated and amazing. Most children develop certain skills as they move through the early stages of learning language. Read with your child and talk with your child as often as you possibly can. You will be giving them the gift of reading down the road. By age 7, most children are reading.

Presenters Mary Sagstetter AbleNet, Inc. 1081 Tenth Ave S.E Minneapolis, MN 55414-1312 Phone: 800.322.0956 Fax: 612-379-9143 Email: mary_sagstetter@ablenetinc.com It is well known that students with significant disabilities do not receive the same literacy learning opportunities as their typical peers. Compare the countless hours typical peers spend reading and exploring the text in a variety of literacy materials to the number of interactions that students with significant disabilities have with those same materials. For students with disabilities the hours spent in these activities are significantly less. Several reasons exist for this and creative solutions are needed to address the lack of literacy opportunities for these students. Traditional thinking held that unless students were ready to read, it was a waste of time to address literacy (Koppenhaver, Coleman, Kalman and Yoder, 1991). Students were assessed against a set of prerequisite skills to determine if they were ready for reading instruction. Some of these prerequisite skills included: discriminating among symbols, understanding cause and effect and being able to match to sample. Good speaking skills were also held as a criterion for providing reading instruction (Koppenhaver and Yoder, 1990). Based on these prerequisite skills, students with significant disabilities were often excluded from literacy activities.
