Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children Catherine E. Snow, M. Susan Burns, and Peg Griffin, Editors Committee on the Prevention of Reading Difficulties in Young Children, National Research Council Table of contents ... NEXT BOX 9-1 Preparing Preschool Teachers to Promote Literacy A 15-year partnership between the Erikson Institute and Head Start staff in Chicago has evolved into professional development that spans 10 months of the year and includes seminars as well as work in preschool centers. Preschool practitioners have durable preconceptions of what activities are appropriate and productive for the children they work with, as McLane and McNamee (1990, 1997) point out. When the Institute staff introduces the Head Start teachers to new activities, strategies, or concepts that can foster literacy, the effort can be undermined unless attention is paid to the adaptations practitioners make to the new activities, strategies, and concepts when they take them into their classrooms. The institute researchers found it especially important to grapple with Head Start teachers' preference for oral over written communication. When the in-service curriculum focused on shared storybook reading, it tended to be realized as storytelling by the Head Start teachers in their work with the children; emergent group writing tended also to turn into storytelling; dramatic play that once had a literacy focus would turn into play devoid of reference to written language (McLane and McNamee, 1997). When the teachers transformed the activities, the results might be enjoyable and valuable for the children, but the part of the activity that was intended to foster literacy often disappeared.

Literacy Activities for Day Care and Preschool Settings The following literacy activities are appropriate for children in day care and preschool settings: Daily Reading Book Talk Use the PEER sequence to ask questions and facilitate discussion about stories. Ask questions that help children relate books to their own experiences. Example: "Do you know anyone who acts like that?" Extended Discourse Language Play Use books with language play, especially books that feature rhyme and alliteration. Provide extension activities that encourage the children to play with language. Refer to chapters 6 through 9 in Straight Talk About Reading Writing Create a well-stocked writing center in the classroom and provide a variety of writing materials for children Dramatic Play Note: Because literacy develops along a continuum, children may have various levels of literacy accomplishments. Therefore, literacy activities for kindergarten and literacy activities for first grade may be appropriate for younger children.

There are 9 components to the Success For All comprehensive school reform program Reading and Writing Programs Eight-Week Assessment Tutors Early Learning (Preschool and Kindergarten) ... Eight-Week Assessment Students in grades 1-5 are assessed every eight weeks to determine whether they are making adequate progress in reading. This information is used to assign students to tutoring, to suggest alternative teaching strategies in the regular classroom, and to make changes in reading group placement, family support interventions, or other means of meeting students' needs. The school facilitator coordinates this process with the active involvement of teachers in grade-level teams. Tutors In grades 1-3, specially trained, certified teachers work one-on-one with any students who are failing to keep up with their classmates in reading. First grade students have priority for tutoring. Early Learning (Preschool and Kindergarten) Whenever possible, a half-day preschool program is provided for all four-year- olds. The program emphasizes language development, readiness, and positive self-concept. A full-day kindergarten program continues the emphasis on language, using children's literature and big books, as well as oral and written composition, activities promoting the development of concepts about print, alphabet games, and math concept development. Peabody Language Development Kits are used to provide additional experience in language. Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning is the vehicle that drives the Success For All curriculum. Students work together in partnerships and teams, helping one another to become strategic readers and writers. Emphasis is placed on individual accountability, common goals, and recognition of group success.

PRESCHOOL Maria Reilly and Andrea Gratrix (PS-3/4) Laura Gregory and Ann Tallman (PS-4/5) Elizabeth Keim and Colleen Dorsey (PS-4/5) LANGUAGE ARTS AND READING READINESS: The preschool language and literacy program actively involves children in many meaningful, functional language experiences including: reading readiness, writing, speaking, and listening. Children have opportunities to develop an understanding of the various uses of the written word while learning particular letter names and their sounds. Using phonics and whole language techniques students begin to recognize words that are meaningful to them such as their names. They also participate in class story writing experiences. Some fundamental skills, such as color recognition, sequencing, and memory are woven into the curriculum throughout the day. Students are read to and are invited to enjoy looking at books everyday. Children are exposed to poetry, big books, charts, nursery rhymes, picture books and predictable books to help students develop their foundation for reading readiness. Students have access to many materials and objects including, pegboards, crayons, playdough, scissors, beads, and other small items to manipulate to help them develop and practice fine-motor skills. Children are encouraged and offered assistance when forming letters and writing their name. As part of the lower school curriculum, we utilize the D'Nealian handwriting technique.
