A Parent's Guide to Helping Your Child Learn To Read
Every parent wants his or her child to be a successful reader. Reading, after all, provides the foundation for a great education as well as a lifelong skill that brings not only knowledge, but pleasure.
Building on What We Know About Learning To Read
Research on reading and learning to read shows that there are things that can be done at home from an early age that help children become successful as readers. The following suggestions, which are backed up by research, should be especially helpful to parents and caregivers of young children.
  • Teaching young children to recognize the letters of the alphabet is a big boost to reading readiness. Recognizing alphabet letters is one of the single strongest predictors of reading success for young children entering school. Alphabet recognition lays a critical foundation for learning to read and write. Reading to children helps them to understand about books and print. Children need to understand that print carries a meaningful message and that stories have a structure. By hearing many stories read to them, and by discussing those stories, children learn that a story has a beginning, a middle, and an end; it has characters, setting, and plot. Children who have had exposure to many children's books can usually indicate when a story does not "make sense" even if they can't say that it has no plot. Through reading to children, parents can help them understand that there is a connection between the words on the page and what they hear as a story is read to them.

Early Ways To Predict Poor Readers

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.

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

TIPS FOR TEACHERS
Reading is the single most important educational skill your students will learn. Understanding the organization and meaning of text and instruction in both phonics and literature is essential to helping young children read. By understanding the prerequisite skills for reading, teachers can build a solid foundation for their students to learn and succeed in school.
Create Appreciation of the Written Work
  • Share stories with children and invite them to explore a story's magic.
  • Share informational texts and invite children to wonder about the new ideas presented.
  • Take every opportunity to point out the ways in which reading is essential to the communications of everyday life (e.g., on labels, instructions, and signs)
Develop Awareness of Printed Language and the Writing System
  • Make sure students know how books are organized. They should be taught the basics about booksthat they are read from left to right and top to bottom, that print may be accompanied by pictures or graphics, that the pages are numbered, and that the purpose of reading is to gain meaning from the text and understand ideas that words convey.

TIPS FOR PARENTS
Parents can have a strong positive influence on their child's reading. Research has shown that enjoying books with a child for even a few minutes a day can make a measurable difference in the acquisition of basic reading skills, and that everyday activities - such as a trip to the grocery store -can be turned into enjoyable learning experiences.
Following is a list of ways in which parents can encourage the development of the skills needed by children in order for them to become good readers.
Create Appreciation of the Written Word
  • Find time to read aloud with your child every day. Typically, parents play an important role in developing this skill by reading to children and showing how important reading is to their daily life. Lap time with picture books and stories can strongly motivate your child to enjoy reading. Try to make these books available for your children to explore and enjoy on their own as well.
Develop Awareness of Printed Language
  • Teach about books. When reading aloud to your child, let your child open the book and turn the pages. Point to the words as you read. Draw attention to repeated phrases, inviting your child to join in each time they occur.

... [Text Version] 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.

    Helping Children Understand Literary Genres. ERIC Digest.
    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 Kids Adjust to School: Useful Tips for Parents and Educators Source: National Association for the Education of Young Children Back to school time inevitably brings many changes for children and families: the first day of kindergarten or first grade; new preschools or child care settings; new classrooms and new teachers. Making a smooth transition between home and school requires teachers and early childhood professionals to help children feel good about themselves and teach them to trust other adults and children. Helping children adapt to new situations can ease parents’ minds and give them a chance to become involved in their children's education. Transitions are exciting opportunities for children to learn and grow. Parents and early childhood professionals share a role in making children feel safe and secure as they move to new educational settings. Of course, such milestones in children's lives can cause anxiety, too. Strengthening the ties between educational professionals and families will help create smooth transitions for adults and children both. How parents can help:

We then compared the Reading Tutor to classroom instruction and to human-assisted oral reading as part of a yearlong study with 144 second and third graders. The result: Second graders did about the same on word comprehension in all three conditions.
