61. Remediation Training Improves Reading Ability Of Dyslexic Children The training program the children took part in was targeted at helping them learn that the children will continue to need considerable help in reading, http://www.stanford.edu/dept/news/report/news/2003/february26/dyslexia-226.html

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.

NATIONAL CHILDREN'S LITERACY WEBSITE H elping Children Learn to Read P r e - s c h o o l T h r o u g h G r a d e T h r e e S UCCESS IN SCHOOL STARTS WITH READING. When children become good readers in the early grades, they are far more likely to become better learners throughout their school years and beyond. Learning to read can be hard work for children - especially if they have not been given important daily learning experiences in their first five years. If, however, children are given a range of important daily experiences in their first five years, learning to read becomes a much easier skill - and children "naturally" learn this skill progressively over time (just as they learn to walk and talk with daily practice and encouragement). Key grown-ups in young children's lives - parents and other family members, child care providers, day care and Head Start teachers, and nursery school teachers - need to help children enter school with the necessary skills to learn to read well. Kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and third grade teachers (and parents and after-school child care providers) can then build on these early skills to help children become successful, proficient readers. You can help your children develop important pre-reading and reading skills, including learning to -

I especially want to recognize the Principal, Ms. Laurie McLachlan. Thank you very much. Thank you for your leadership. (Applause.) In a roundtable I was in earlier with teachers from the school and some students, one of the things I learned is how important Ms. McLachlan is to her school, how important it is to have as your principal somebody who really understands instruction, but also who builds everybody, and thank you very much for doing that. (Applause.) Also the Superintendent, Dr. Allen Nishino is here. Thank you very much, Superintendent, for joining us. I don't see him right here, I think he's here he is, right over here.

Victor's achievement shows what happens when you provide students with really good teachers and language arts programs that are proven to work. Congratulations, Victor. (Applause.) And Mr. Davis, thank you very much. Thank you for your leadership here at Sun Valley Middle School, and thank you for your example that you set for principals around the country.

And a very, very special thanks to all the teachers who are here. We're grateful to you for helping our sons and daughters succeed. Thank you, teachers. (Applause.) Teaching and education are critical components of a new initiative called Helping America's Youth. The goal of Helping America's Youth is to help children make good decisions in their lives so that they can grow up to be healthy and successful adults. The initiative calls for action in the three most important parts of a child's life: a child's family, a child's school, and a child's community. We're emphasizing the needs of boys because statistics show us that boys are more likely to fall behind girls in school, more likely to drop out of school, and today in America, fewer boys than girls go on to college or to graduate school.

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.

The goal of this article is to help those involved with teaching young people to read understand how we learn to read and provide techniques to help children who struggle. I have gained this knowledge through working with young children learning to read and reading the research literature on the subjects of learning and reading. I hope this article will be useful for parents, teachers and anyone else in interested in improving children's reading skills.

A Parent's Guide to Helping Children: Using Bibliotherapy at Home Mary Rizza University of Connecticut Storrs, CT There were nights when it seemed impossible to get Tara into bed. It was hard to distinguish what set her off, but the outcome was always the same; getting out of bed, asking questions, wanting a glass of water, all until her mother was quite annoyed. Then, quite accidentally, Tara and her mom came up with a new bedtime routine. On those hard to get to bed nights, Tara was allowed to pick two books to be read to her. The second book was always Goodnight Moon by Margaret Brown. This was a book that had a calming effect for Tara and the routine of the story reading helped her get ready to go to sleep. This is just one way for parents to incorporate bibliotherapy into the everyday interactions with children. Bibliotherapy is the use of literature that addresses problems or issues current in the lives of children. For some children like Tara, a favorite story, poem, or song can be a comfort in a trying time. Introducing a new story or book can be equally as helpful for children because it helps to clarify feelings and validate emotions. Making up their own stories or modifying a favorite also can get children to talk and think about issues at hand. Definitions Bibliotherapy is useful because it allows the child to step back from her/his problem and experience it from an objective viewpoint. It offers the child a safe avenue to investigate feelings. For an adult having to deal with a child in distress, it can also provide a nonthreatening way to broach a sensitive subject. Always remember, bibliotherapy is a conversation starter, not ender. It should be used to open up communication. Handing a book to a child in the hopes that she/he will understand your intention is not helpful. Connections need to be facilitated and open expression should be encouraged.

The message is clear and, thank goodness, frequent: "Help your child become a more successful reader by reading to him OR her from the time your child is born." Research has shown that it works better than any reading drills, expensive pre-school programs or reading instruction to help a child learn to read. Besides that, it's cheap and it's fun for both parent and child. However, there's more. It's not enough to just read aloud for a few minutes, kiss the child goodnight and leave the room.

Some Ideas on Helping Children Enjoy Reading Nov 19 '01 The Bottom Line Read to your children and yourself. One of my greatest desires for my children is to see them grow up to be readers. This is a great task and here are some of the things that I am doing to achieve this goal. 1. Start reading to your children when they are still babies. I started reading to my children before they were even born and never stopped. I felt pretty silly reading to my big tummy, but I kept on. When my kids were little newborn babies, I read to them. When they were toddlers, I read to them. I have been a Sunday school Teacher for the Ages 2-4 class for 8 years. I can now tell the parents who read to their kids before the toddler stage. A child who was read to when he was to little to get up and walk away, will sit much more quietly and longer, than one who wasn't. I am not a fool, I know that they will get bored eventually. Still a toddler who was read to as a baby will sit longer. 2. Teach them to take care of their books.
