HELPING OUR CHILDREN: READING AND WRITING AT HOME Center for Literacy University of Illinois at Chicago One of the most important things that parents can teach their children is the love to read and write. Parents can share reading and writing experiences with their children so they can discover the benefits that these skills bring to life. READING With your help, your children will discover the joys and benefits of reading: new worlds, new ideas, fun and entertainment. Do not wait until your children attend school. You should interest your children to read or write as early as three years old, if not before. How can I help my children to read? Show your children how much you enjoy reading. If they see you reading newspapers or magazines or books, they will imitate your behavior. Make a special place to read. It should be quiet and set apart from the TV. Visit the library regularly. Have your children choose their own books. Ask another member of the family to read if you do not have the time or do not know how to read well: an older sibling, a grand-parent, an aunt, an uncle, etc. Make up your own books.

Contact Stanford Report News Service Press Releases 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.

New Faces Ohio's Fourth Grade Reading Guarantee: Helping Our "Hidden" Children Succeed Download the report, press release, and supporting information Last year, for the second year in a row, 16% of Ohio's fourth graders failed their fourth grade reading proficiency test by a large margin. We refer to these as Ohio's "hidden" children because public attention is focused on overall passing rates, which overshadow these children's skill deficits. These 20,000 children were unable to read a few paragraphs and then write about what they had read. Another 30,000 fourth graders who failed the test by a smaller margin likely could have passed with some additional help. To make good on Ohio's "fourth grade reading guarantee"—a commitment by Ohio leaders to provide the help that children need to read at grade level by fourth grade—we need to identify and help the hidden youngsters while ensuring that schools provide effective reading instruction for all children.

Press releases Reading Program By: Vanessa Canales The Miami Herald April 12, 2001 At Bent Tree Elementary, first- and second-graders who are struggling to learn English are getting some extra help, thanks to teacher Ana Gallo. It's not just the children who benefit, or who have to work at it. Parents are being pulled into the program Gallo designed to promote literacy in English. Called the "Gallo Center," (for Giving All Learners Literacy Opportunities), it opened at Bent Tree in September, thanks to a $50,000 state grant Gallo received. "I've wanted to do this for so long, so I grabbed at the chance," said Gallo, who has been teaching at Bent Tree for 14 years. The center helps first- and second-graders who have completed the ESOL program at Bent Tree. The aim is to expand their reading capabilities and knowledge of English. "I want the kids to see what reading can really do for them," Gallo said.

Getting Along Together: Developing Social Competence in Young Children Article Dos and Don'ts Try This At Home Also of interest FAQ's Reading List Parent's Forum Childhood is a time for children to learn about the world-and that includes learning how to get along with others. Parents play a crucial role in helping children figure out how to form satisfying relationships and develop into socially competent people. Social competence allows children to be cooperative and generous, express their feelings, and empathize with others. Modeling Behavior Modeling the behavior you want to encourage is the best way to help children develop socially. Every time you say "please" or lend a helping hand, you are showing your children how you would like them to act. Ask for your children's help with daily tasks, and accept their offers of help. Look for the things your children are doing right and find opportunities to comment on them. Praise can reinforce good behavior, but it is equally important to help children recognize the sense of satisfaction that comes from within when they act on a generous impulse or get along well with others. Sharing from the Heart Good feelings about oneself and others is the root of social competency. Try to create a climate of kindness and generosity so that your children can help each other and begin to take responsibility for each other naturally. In this way they will begin to share "from the heart"-not just because you want them to.
