It is for all the remedial readers who do not have the necessary skills for success in school or in adult life. It is effective with the individual student or small groups. It is a fun way for remedial students to learn the skills needed for reading success. Three word games with instructions Primary Student's Workbook Primary Teacher's Workbook Training video tape Over half of the phonics is taught through three sight word games. The Spelling/Phonics Workbook gives the spelling rules, so long ignored, in a fun way. The air of competition gives the student interest and excitement. The individual student finds interest in competing with him or her self. The story exercises are written, in the beginning, with the words from the games. Students who have been failing find themselves reading short exercises and answering questions about the story with complete and correct sentence answers in a week. The program captivates the student's interest because it progresses on their success level. It becomes more difficult as the students develop the necessary skills. After the first game (about one week) students need to get books from the library on their level. Their level will go up dramatically in a month. In three month most students are on their grade level, some will go to the Honor Roll.

California Dept of Education A-Z Index Search Help ... Resources Sample Reading Curriculum Timeline Preschool Through Eighth Grade Reading Teaching Timeline The following suggested timeline is a sample for districts and schools to use in planning for a comprehensive reading program. Each category on the chart represents an essential component of balanced reading instruction, and the examples of activities in each strand represent a range of instruction possible in that component. This timeline is not intended as an exhaustive list but only as a suggested plan for districts to use in developing an effective reading program. Reading and literacy instruction also are integral components of middle school and secondary programs. Reading programs should be dynamic and powerful and meet the needs of all readers, including encouraging students who are good readers to move ahead and providing intensive support for the lowest achievers. While the components in the timeline are suggestions for teachers regarding classroom activities, it is the students who need to be actively engaged in the learning process. They should have many opportunities to draw on their prior knowledge and respond critically to what they read and write based on their own experiences. It is important to remember, too, that reading does not occur in isolation. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening are linked as a child becomes competent in English-language arts. There should be a deliberate forging of connections among grades, content areas, and all members of the education community whose work affects children and their reading abilities. The continuum of instruction should be seamless while recognizing and adjusting for individual needs based on each child's actual learning.

However, before a child can benefit from reading instruction some key skills must be in place. The three most critical skills are: awareness of print and how a book is read knowledge of the names of the letters awareness of the speech sounds in words, also called "phonemic awareness". As a child's need to symbolize his/her thoughts on paper grows, so begins the use of the written word in combination with drawings. Dictation of stories, using the child's exact words is offered. These thoughts can then be read back over and over again to various people. The power of the written word becomes clear as to the child's delight his/her exact words are repeated every time they are read back. This is one occasion when the teacher may choose not to correct the child's grammatical errors. For example, a child may insist that the teacher write "I eated pizza for dinner." These are their words, they know it, and they take great pleasure in seeing their idea written and read back exactly as they expressed it. The powerful experience of using symbols on paper motivates children to spring forward into the world of writing and reading.

Professional Development Reading and Writing Programs During reading periods, students are regrouped across age lines for 90 minutes so that each reading class contains students reading at one level. This eliminates the need to have reading groups within the class and increases the amount of time for direct instruction. Also, use of tutors as reading teachers during reading time reduces the size of most reading classes. The reading program in grades K-1 emphasizes the development of language skills and launches students into reading using phonetically regular storybooks supported by careful instruction that focuses on phonemic awareness, auditory discrimination, and sound blending as well as meaning, context, and self-monitoring strategies. Students become fluent as they read and reread to one another in pairs. At the second through fifth grade levels, students use school- or district-selected reading materials, basals, and/or trade books in a carefully structured set of interactive opportunities to read, discuss, and write. This program emphasizes cooperative learning activities built around partner reading; identification of characters, settings, and problem solutions in narratives; story summarization; writing; and direct instruction in reading comprehension skills. At all levels, students read books of their choice for twenty minutes each evening as homework. Classroom libraries of books are developed for this purpose. For schools with Spanish bilingual programs, Success for All provides a Spanish reading curriculum, Exito ParaTodos, in grades 1-5.

31. LEARNS The Tutor Newsletter Spring 2000 Issue/Working With Preschool Children Children's abilities during the preschool years are described in a 1988 Understandingthat print carries a message; Engaging in reading and writing attempts; http://www.nwrel.org/learns/tutor/spr2000/art4.html

How do young children learn to read and write? What the research tells us Children begin to develop as readers and writers by understanding and mimicking basic concepts. For example, a pre- schooler's drawing and markings on paper may not appear to be conventional writing, but those markings are an important and necessary beginning. Children use all forms of language-speaking, listening, pictures, print, and images-to communicate their ideas, thoughts, and feelings. They build on their oral language to learn about written language. Early experiences with oral and written language-as well as with adults and peers-provide children with a rich foundation to begin to read words, understand how letters and sounds go together, and acquire knowledge about the English language system. Children's abilities during the preschool years are described in a 1988 joint position statement of the International Reading Association (IRA) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Examples of what young children can do include: Listening to and discussing books Understanding that print carries a message Engaging in reading and writing attempts Identifying labels and signs in their environment Participating in rhyming games Identifying some letters and making letter-sound matches Using known letters or approximations of letters to represent written language (especially meaningful words, names, and phrases)

What does a quality learning environment look like for three- and four-year-olds? What the research tells us. Whether your work focuses on parent education classes or family literacy programs, tutors share a common goal: to help every child become a successful reader. This support begins with understanding the child's needs and creating an environment that fosters learning. Research reveals that powerful curriculum is child-centered (Bredekamp, 1987.) Child-centered classrooms align with social, emotional, intellectual, and physical needs. Effective work with young children supports the developing skills of the individual child. In this way, tutors can act as coaches, making the individual child feel motivated, confident, and positive about learning. High-quality preschool settings focus on the learning of literacy rather than the teaching of literacy. Applying the research. Young children need space that supports their learning styles and recognizes their need to move around. The physical environment should allow children to work in whole groups, small groups, and individually. Children this age love to move and sing. They are intensely curious about how things work and love to conduct science experiments, care for and study living animals, cook, and learn about their fellow classmates and their families. These intrinsically motivating interests provide you with a wealth of information from which you can base your work. As a tutor, you can encourage children to choose activities they like and help them develop a range of interests.

Reading With Young Children Nancy Ewald Jackson Cathy M. Roller This report provides research-based answers to questions parents and teachers often ask about how reading and writing develop from infancy to about age 6 years. The unusually rapid development of these skills in some young children is considered in a major section on precocious readers. Precocious reading ability is a form of gifted intellectual performance that may appear alone or together with other kinds of gifted performance. However, this report was not written only for those who are concerned with the development or education of gifted children. Much of the report addresses general questions about the development of reading and writing ability in young children who may have other gifts. Each major section of the report was written so that it can stand alone, and each contains a separate reference list and list of recommended resources for parents and teachers.

ERIC/EECE Publications Digests Encouraging Young Children's Writing Jane Maehr EDO-PS-91-1 Many educators and parents assume that young children must progress through a sequence of clearly defined skill areas to acquire listening, speaking, reading, and, finally, writing facility. As a result, young children often are not encouraged to write until they have learned how to read and have mastered the mechanics of writing (grammar, capitalization, punctuation). Recent studies in emergent literacythe early stages of learning to write and readhave shown that young children compose before they know much about the conventions of writing and reading or have the skill to control the formation of letters. As young children gradually realize the usefulness of writingeven unconventional writingthey are encouraged to develop related literacy skills. High/scope's Approach to Emergent Literacy A developmental approach to literacy emphasizes the gradual emergence of skills in all areas of language rather than the end results of this process: formal skills in speaking, reading, and writing. Such a developmental approach is used by the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan. High/Scope curriculum developers and teaching adults recognize that preschoolers and kindergartners have plenty of ideas and enjoy composing and reading their compositions.
