Maybe you're the parent of a child
who can read.
Sometimes a child who could be a really good reader resists reading and shows
no interest in reading for pleasure. Marilyn Kay, M. Ed., director of The
Reading Group, a tutoring and remediation center in Urbana, IL, is helps foster
a lifelong love of reading and books in her students, many of whom are reluctant
readers.
1. Select a topic your child your
child is really interested in.
All kids are passionate about something: the White Sox, Barbie Dolls, Pokemon
cards. Make a point of looking in the public library or local bookstore for
books on your child's favorite topic at all reading levels.
2. Strategically
scatter the books around the house.
4. Make a chapter book exciting by reading
the first few chapters aloud.
If your child is old enough to enjoy chapter books, try reading the first two
or three chapters aloud. If you stop at the exciting parts, the child may get
impatient and start reading ahead! The Box Car Children by Gertrude Warner is
full of adventures and highlights qualities such as cooperation and initiative
in children. Charlotte's Web by E.B. White, The Hobbit by Tolkien, and the
Harry Potter books are excellent for reading aloud. Of course, your child's
responses can help you choose the books he or she will like the most.
After watching the video, compare
the different versions of the book with your child. Read one of the books out
loud to or with your child.
5. Set up an after-hours reading lamp in your
child's bedroom. One mother reported that she gave her eight-year-old a
flashlight for bedtime reading, and this semi-clandestine after-hours activity
prompted a nightly ritual of reading for pleasure.
6. Help your child find ways to
identify with story characters. This Halloween you might want to encourage your
child to dress up as a favorite storybook character. Learning to love a book
comes naturally when a child can identify with a character.
7. Restrict TV watching.
Keep in mind that some children have specific problems that make reading
difficult. Be sure to continue reading to your child and giving pleasure
through the ears! A tape player can help children enjoy books through
listening.
When Is a Child Ready to Read?
When is a child ready to read? Some children are ready earlier than others. "We
researchers say that the brain needs to be able to hold a symbol in one
position for reading," notes Edith Grotberg, Ph.D., developmental
psychologist and former director of the Research and Evaluation Division,
Administration for Children, Youth, and Families, Washington, D.C.
Well, let's say a word starts with
the letter 'b.' The child sees a straight line and a circle. Think about this:
Every object the child has already learned is the same object no matter what
position it is in. The letters of the alphabet are the first things the child
learns that change meaning when their components are in a different position!
In order to read, the child has to
know the difference between left and right, up and down. "We read from
left to right." The brain matures in developmental stages.The learning
that takes place is determined by the child's developmental stage. Children let
you know by their reactions if you are pushing beyond the limits of the
developmental stage. Emotional Connectedness Is Part of Learning to Read.
Hand in hand with brain development is emotional connectedness. In order to
read, they assert, a child needs to feel the love and approval of an
emotionally connected person -- usually a parent or teacher -- who shows joy
and pride as the child masters letter position. This brain-emotional
connectedness is also needed for mastering letter sequence: Is the word 'was'
or 'saw'? Emotionally, the young reader feels joy by identifying with the
story's characters. It is almost impossible for a child to learn to
differentiate letters, to hold them in position for reading, and to develop the
flow of reading without a sense of pleasure. When a parent communicates a sense
of urgency, a sense of anxiety for success, the child feels no joy; reading is
a chore; it's no fun.
You can help make the
learning-to-read experience a pleasure, part of play. In short, reading
develops over time. The brain and the emotions determine that.
