Reading to Learn: Reading Across Content Areas Viewers' Guide Show Summary and Key Messages What is "reading across the content areas"? Reading across the content areas refers to a specific type of reading, i.e., reading to learn. Reading for information demands that the reader absorb complex information. It is an analytical task, which many students find challenging and tedious. To help children learn to read effectively for information, educators need to make students aware of the differences between textbook reading and reading a novel or magazine. Once they have this self knowledge, they can make use of the many recognized strategies that have been developed to simplify the process of reading textbooks. Ask a Literacy Expert Now you can ask your questions online ! Dr. Lettie Albright will be on-hand during the month of March to answer your questions about reading across content areas.

Send an E-Card THAT OLE BOOK MAGIC Cast a spell with these easy activities from FamilyFun by Mary Leonhardt of 5 Helping children fall in love with books has been a personal crusade of mine for two decades, both as a high school English teacher and a mother of three. In observing my students over the years, I've discovered that avid readers acquire their love of reading at home, from their parents. No teacher can pass along a passion for books the way a loving mother or father can. My best readers remember cozy bedtime stories, sharing books with friends and siblings, andperhaps most importantthe freedom and encouragement to read whatever they wanted to. What follows are some tips for nurturing an early love of reading. These ideas are offered as a jumping-off point; all children are different, and what works for one child may not work for another. The key thing to remember is that anything to do with reading and writing needs to be fun. If you tune into your child's interests and passions, you'll be able to develop your own strategies for giving him a lifelong love of readingin my view, the best gift we parents can give our children.

Some people see a picture of the animal, hear a bark, while others visualize the animal dog. Those who see a picture of a dog in their minds's eye or see the letters are probably visual. While those who hear the bark are probably auditory learners. Those who feel the soft fur of a dog are probably kinesthetic. Learning Styles Learning is reflected in the way we respond to environmental, social, emotional and physical stimuli, to understand new information. Learning style is defined as the way that information is processed. It focuses on strengths, not weaknesses. There is no right or wrong learning style Most children show a preference for one of the following basic learning styles: visual, auditory, kinesthetic/ manipulative. It is not uncommon to combine the primary and secondary learning styles. Parents also show a preference for one of these learning styles. It is not unusual for parents to prefer a different style of learning than their child. In order to work effectively with your child it is important to understand your own learning style.

Curtis and Ann Marie Longo Older students with reading difficulties pose all sorts of challenges for a teacher. How do you motivate them? Where do you find appropriate methods and materials? What are the most important areas for them to work on? How much progress can you really expect them to make? Motivation Make them feel safe. To make progress in reading, teens need to feel supported. A simple but powerful way for teachers to do this is to let students know beforehand what activities are planned for a class session and how long each activity will take. When teens have the knowledge they need to predict what will be happening, they have control over their learning environment. When they have control, they feel safe and they become more willing to take risks. In our experience, students will work on even the most difficult tasks if they know it will be for a short, pre-set period of time. Teens also benefit from having clarity about the kinds of behavior you expect from them. If participation is a requirement, let them know that ahead of time. And make sure that you tell them why. We have found that most students will put some effort into any task they understand the value of and believe can improve their ability to read.

Parents will be empowered to help their children as they proceed through the journey of learning to read and reading to learn. Through reading and self-awareness comes confidence; through confidence comes a strong person, and strong people make a strong community. A new kind of kid has arrived and they are being drugged with ritalin They do not respond to the old ways of doing things. The difficulties are odd in nature, in that they represent an interchange between adult and child that is unexpected and seemingly atypical of what our generation had experienced. They display a new and unusual set of psychological attributes and show a pattern of behavior generally undocumented before. A fundamental idea to keep in focus is that reading is one of the most complex things a human being does. Humans could speak for about thirty thousand years before they devised systems to write and read, and literacy continues to be an elusive goal for most of the world's people. To read, we must translate a visual symbol system into speech, and translate speed into meaning; all this must take place very rapidly so that we have mental space to think about and learn from what we are reading. You can order the assessment package and with my consultation, we can work to improve your child/childen's reading.

ED 344190 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.

Welcome to Very Best Kids! Sign In or Join Now or click here for cities Helping your children develop reading skills Reading is a fundamental part of your child's education. And, while the schools teach this important subject, you can do your part as a concerned parent to help your child achieve a higher level of reading success. The ideal time to start reading is when your child is old enough to sit quietly with you and listen to you read. Depending on the maturity level of your child, when he or she reaches three years of age, it should be time to start. Point at each word as you read it and try to encourage your child to follow along. THis might not be an easy task, as a child's attention span tends to be rather short, but don't give up. It will be well worth the effort in the end. bodyOffer(22480) Read to your child throughout the day or whenever time allows. Don't just read to your child at bedtime. He or she needs as much exposure to books and reading as possible. If you work outside of the home, ask the babysitter to read to your child as much as possible throughout the time the babysitter is there. When you read to your child, be sure to include him or her in the process as much as possible by letting them at least turn the pages of the book. Also, point out the words and the pictures. Depending on your child's age, ask your child questions about the pictures he or she sees. If your child is old enough to have developed an adequate level of reading comprehension, ask your child simple questions about the story to test them.

Myers-Walls, Extension Specialist, Human Development Introduction Stress is a response to change or conflict. It is usually considered to be negative and damaging. However, not all forms or levels of stress are bad. Competing in sports and achieving in school or at work are examples of positive stressors. Stress becomes negative when the pressures surrounding these and other situations become too great or when several small stressors occur at once, and one can no longer adjust. It is becoming evident that this type of stress overload is taking its toll on children as well as adults. This publication explains how stress exists in your child's world from infancy through the teen years. You will learn how to recognize signs of stress and help your child express, understand, and manage pressure. Suggestions on preventing excessive stress for your child also are provided.

Disaster Safety Helping Young Children Cope with Trauma Helping Young Children Cope with Trauma Disasters are upsetting to everyone involved. Children, older people, and/or people with disabilities are especially at risk. For a child, his or her view of the world as a safe and predictable place is temporarily lost. Children become afraid that the event will happen again and that they or their family will be injured or killed. The damage, injuries, and deaths that can result from an unexpected or uncontrollable event are difficult for most children to understand. How a parent or other adult reacts to a child following any traumatic event can help children recover more quickly and more completely. This brochure contains general information to help you in this task. Children's Reactions Children's fear and anxiety are very real, even though to adults they may seem exaggerated. Children are afraid of what is strange. They fear being left alone. Following a disaster, they may begin acting younger than the age they are. Behaviors that were common at an earlier age, such as bedwetting, thumb sucking, clinging to parents or fear of strangers, may reappear. Older children who have shown some independence may want to spend more time with their families. Bedtime problems may appear. A child may begin to have night-mares; not want to sleep alone; and/or become afraid of the dark, falling asleep or remaining asleep.
