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 ... PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION Helping Children with Reading Difficulties in Grades 1 to 3 As indicated in Chapters and , many children learn to read with good instruction, but some do not. And many children have problems learning to read because of poor instruction. In all cases, the question is what kinds of additional instruction (usually called "interventions" because they are not part of the regular school reading instruction) are likely to help. The purpose of providing extra instructional time is to help children achieve levels of literacy that will enable them to be successful through their school careers and beyond. It is not simply to boost early literacy achievement. Given the focus of this volume, we restrict our discussion to the primary grades; however, it is likely that children who have had interventions in the primary grades will need additional supplementary experiences in the upper grades as well. We know that the literacy demands are of a different nature for older children; as children proceed through the grades, they are expected to learn from informational text with which they may have had few experiences in the primary grades (see Fisher and Hiebert, 1990); they are expected to use text independently; and they are expected to use text for the purpose of thinking and reasoning. Long-term follow-up studies reveal that even very powerful early interventions often require "booster" sessions.

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

Return to NIFL Publications Page Put Reading First Helping Your Child Learn to Read A Parent Guide Preschool Through Grade 3 Success in school starts with reading. When children become good readers in the early grades, they are more likely to become better learners throughout their school years and beyond. Learning to read is hard work for children. Fortunately, research is now available that suggests how to give each child a good start in reading. Becoming a reader involves the development of important skills, including learning to: use language in conversation listen and respond to stories read aloud recognize and name the letters of the alphabet listen to the sounds of spoken language connect sounds to letters to figure out the "code" of reading read often so that recognizing words becomes easy and automatic learn and use new words understand what is read Preschool and kindergarten teachers set the stage for your child to learn to read with some critical early skills. First, second, and third grade teachers then take up the task of building the skills that children will use every day for the rest of their lives. As a parent, you can help by understanding what teachers are teaching and by asking questions about your child's progress and the classroom reading program. You can also help your children become readers. Learning to read takes practice, more practice than children get during the school day. This brochure describes what a quality reading program should look like at school and how you can support that program through activities with your children.

Thursday, April 10, 2003 Children and Reading Quick Menu Articles About Reading Reading Web Sites Recommended Reading Lists Developmental Web Sites Helping Children Overcome Reading Difficulties Prepared by: Carl B. Smith and Roger Sensenbaugh 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. Dyslexia is perhaps the learning disability that is most widely known, primarily because of Barbara Bush's efforts to make adults aware of the problem of children with this and other learning disabilities. Stories about children (and adults) trying to overcome their learning disabilities appear in the mass media with some regularity. Despite the relative familiarity of the word "dyslexia," there is no clear-cut, widely accepted definition for dyslexia. In the broadest sense, dyslexia refers to the overwhelming difficulty in learning to read and write by normally intelligent children exposed to suitable educational opportunities in school and at home. These often very verbal children's reading levels fall far below what would have been predicted for their quick and alert intelligence (Bryant and Bradley, 1985).

The Internet TESL Journal Helping Children Learn to Think in English Through Reading Storybooks Patricia F. Neyman pfneyman [at] yahoo.com Seoul Education Training Institute (Seoul, Korea) Introduction My interest in using storybooks for teaching English began when I was teaching middle-school students in Korea. My search for material which could provide a basis for conversation and writing in my classes led me to try some of the many all-English storybooks available. Later I began using them to teach English to two elementary-school students whom I taught on the telephone. The latter experience has been so successful that it motivated me to write this paper. The middle-school students had been exposed to a lot of English vocabulary. Nevertheless, when I presented them with a page of English writing with no or very little new vocabulary, I was surprised to find that they seemed to have great difficulty with it. "Teacher, this is very difficult!" they would say to me. I concluded that they were lacking in ability to process English. T heir English training has focused mainly on the level of single words (vocabulary lists) and translation into their native language. Reading selections in their elementary and middle-school texts are short and usually accompanied by native language support. Perhaps this is why the students had not moved to the point where, upon encountering words memorized, they were able to instantly connect them to the mental concepts embodied. Their processing probably was mainly occurring in their native language.

Why should you read this paper? Literacy matters: The increasing demands of the information economy require higher and higher standards of reading ability from everyone , not just the privileged few. There is a clear need for better tools for literacy development: The United States Department of Education’s National Assessment of Educational Progress reported that 69% of American fourth graders read below desired proficiency; 38% were below even the basic level (Donahue et al., 1999). Vocabulary knowledge plays a critical role in reading, by enabling and facilitating comprehension (Snow, Burns, and Griffin, 1998). Using computers to boost vocabulary learning holds promise for offering children frequent, engaging practice with the meanings of words.

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.

LEARNING TO READ ... READING TO LEARN Helping Children With Learning Disabilities To Succeed The National Center to Improve the Tools of Educators 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. Read to children from books with easy-to-read large print. Use stories that have predictable words in the text.

My daughter, age 5, has been a challenge for me (I am homeschooling both my children), but she has responded very well and very quickly to your program. It was just the key to unlock her clever little mind - and all in an amazingly short time. We first found your site about 4 weeks ago and she's now reading many words on her own, as well as writing the stories she once only told out loud. Thanks!!!" Lori D, Albany, Georgia, US 14th February 2003 "Bricks and Mortar" is a unique system for teaching children to read. You can print the full version directly from screen - around 240 pages (will print clearly on "draft") - large clear diagrams for kids, and the whole system can be read aloud in under 2 hours. We'd suggest you print the pages in blocks of 10 (10 Notes and matching 10 Disks) : for most children, absorbing the first 40 of each will be enough to allow them to progress to simple structured reading books like Ladybird or the Biff, Chip and Kipper series on the Oxford Reading Tree. The remaining Disks and Notes pages are useful for helping them assimilate more complex word structures and spelling rules as their confidence in reading increases, but structured reading should take priority as soon as your child progresses naturally to that stage.
