. Raising a Reader
Advice to Parents of Young Readers
Reading is the most important skill your children will ever learn. It's the tool your
child needs the most at school and it is essential for nearly every job and career.
Learning to read takes time and it takes you. Reading isn't something children can
just pick up, like learning to talk. It's complicated. Children need you to encourage
them to work at it and to keep trying'if they get frustrated.
Your children also need to see how exciting reading can be. They will learn this
every time you share a wonderful story with them, or open a book about fascinating
people, places, or things. It(s up to you to show them that reading is far more than
just a subject taught in school -- it's the doorway to a lifetime of learning, creating,
discovering and succeeding.
AlthOugh your children will learn the nuts and bolts of reading at school, they
still need the special one-on-one attention only you can provide. That's why the Na-
tional Association of Elementary School Principals and World Book Educational Prod-
ucts have teamed up to bring you these reading tips. Also included are answers to
the questions parents most often ask about reading, along with a lot of helpful sug-
gestions.
Thanks for caring enough to make reading a priority for your children.
When should I start reading to my child?
If you haven't already, then start today! The earlier you start, the better. While
you're reading, you can help with some of the fundamentals:
• Run your finger under the words as you read aloud.
• Show how you begin reading a t the top of the page and work down.
• Point out words that are repeated often. See if your child can spot thos words
when they appear again. ,,
• Talk about the pictures, too. Many times, children can figure out unfamiliar
words by looking at the pictures that accompany the story.
How can I tell if my child is ready to read?
Many children are eager to begin reading related activities even before they begin
school. Others need more time. Here are some signals to watch for:
• Does he pick up books and pretend to read?
• Does he pretend to write things down and read them to you?
• Does he know what a letter is and understand that words are made up of groups
of letters?
• -Can he show you how to read a book-from left to right, top to bottom?
• If you say a • Word, can he think of a word that rhymes with it?
• Does he know the sounds that most of the letters in the alphabet represent?
Don't worry if your child is not at this stage yet. Pushing a child into reading will
not make him a reader -- it may, in fact, make him resist reading. Do be alert for the
signs of reading readiness and show enthusiasm as you begin the reading adventure
together.
How can I show my child that reading is important?
Here are some of the most effective ways to raise a reader: -
• Be a reader yourself! Every time she sees you with a book, you're demonstrating
that reading is something you value. Talk with her about what you're reading. Set
aside at least 15 minutes every day to read to each other.
,.Be relaxed and encouraging during reading time. Provide support, not criti-
cism.
• Visit the library often. Participate in library storytimes and reading clubs and
make sure she has her own library card.
oAlways keep children's books, magazines and other reading materials close at
hand so she can read anytime, anywhere.
Show your child how reading helps you get information, answer questions and
discover interesting things. Look things up together in an encycloPedia and check
out some non-fiction children's books.
In a national survey, students were asked which of the following types of literacy
materials they had at home: Magazines, •newspapers, encyclopedias and at least 25
books. Those who had more types of reading materials tended to be those who scored
higher on reading proficiency tests. (National Assessment of Educational Progress
1992 and 1994 Reading Assessments.)
Beyond books, are there other ways to boost my child's reading abilities?
There certainly are! Here are just a few:
• Go places, do things. The more experiences children have, the easier it is for
them to read because Of all the new ideas and vocabulary they are exposed to.
• Get your children involved in everyday reading -- directions, grocery lists, reci-
pes, labels, instruction manuals and ev6n the billboards and signs along the road.
• Read the newspaper and clip out articles or comic strips he'd enjoy.
• Limit television. If he's interested in a certain kind of TV show, look for some
children's books or magazines that are the same style-action, comedy or sports-ori-
ented, for example.
• Play games together that require reading and word skills, such as MonoPOlY,
The Game of Life, or Scrabble.
• Books on tape are fun, too. Pause the tape and talk about the story, th.e charac-
• ters, or what might happen next.
• Encourage your child to be a writer. Keep paper and pencils available and show
how proud you are of the stories he writes.
