Read Write Now! Activities for Reading and Writing Fun U.S. Department of Education Richard W. Riley Secretary May 1995 Read Write Now! Activities for Reading and Writing Fun has been developed by national reading experts for you to use with children, ages birth to Grade 6. The booklet has three sections, one for activities for infants and preschoolers, the second for children thr ough Grade Two, and the third for older children. These activities are meant to be used in addition to reading with children every day. Reading research has shown that reading just a few minutes a day with or to a child significantly increases that child's reading ability. These activities help very youn g children get ready for reading and writing, and guide older children to expand their reading and writing interests and skills. In using these activities, your main goal will be to develop great enthusiasm in the reader for reading and writing. You are the child's cheerleader. It is less important for the reader to get every word exactly right. It is more important for the child t o learn to love reading itself. If the reader finishes one book and asks for another, you know you are succeeding! If your reader writes even once a week and comes back for more, you know you have accomplished your beginning goals. We wish you many wonderful hours of reading and writing with children!

III. Preschool Reading and the Bilingual Child Mariana and Elena Past Learn to Read English and Spanish How the Christian Children Learned to Read Spanish and English A Case of Korean/English Bilingualism and Biliteracy Plurilingualism and Pluriliteracy ... Summary If a monolingual child can get a headstart by learning to read before going to school, why can't a bilingual child get a double headstart by learning to read two languages before entering school? No one would deny the educational importance of skill in reading; nor would many deny the advantage of a knowledge of two spoken languages. The theoretical advantage of knowing how to read and write in two languages would seem to be self-evident, and yet biliteracy is rarely emphasized as an objective in our schools. This is an intriguing fact. Is there perchance a parallel between this fact and that other widely recognized fact that illiteracy and semiliteracy are common in our schools? If early readers rarely have difficulties in school, can we assume that bilingual children too would have no difficulties if they learned how to read in two languages before entering school? Personally I like Chester Christian's statement and implied solution of the problem: In an important sense, the education of those who speak two languages can never be "equal" to the education of monolinguals; it must be inferior or superior. Whether it will be the one or the other depends heavily on whether literacy is provided in only one or in both languages. (

Preschool can help enhance her skills. By Diane Trister Dodge and Toni S. Bickart Literacy begins at birth. The early reading and writing experiences children have help prepare them for later success in school. That's why rich and varied language and literacy experiences at home and at preschool are so important. Children who have been read to, who know nursery rhymes and chants, who hear a great deal of language, and who are familiar with many words are at a tremendous advantage. When it comes to learning to read and write, children must be familiar with language and use it to communicate ideas, desires, and feelings with other people. Literacy skills include:

20. Northminster Presbyterian Church Discovery Preschool - Guided Reading And Writin shared reading activities; guided writing experiences; children Literacy goals forchildren exiting Discovery preschool for kindergarten are consistent http://www.discoverypreschool.net/guided.html

Guided Reading and Writing Children Participating in Guided Reading Learning to read and write is one of the most critical predictors of a child's success in school and later in life. The early childhood years, from birth to age eight, are the most important time for literacy development (Neuman, Copple, Bredenkamp, 2000). Literacy development begins in the toddler years. Young children need to be engaged in literacy activities that are meaningful and that build on their prior experiences and learning. When an early childhood classroom is literacy rich, it encompasses the following components: shared reading activities guided writing experiences children have immediate access to an expansive classroom library with many types of literature activities that encourage children to "play with language" using rhyme and rhythm to engage them in phonological experiences opportunities to use the language in a meaningful way in their daily interactions in the classroom Literacy goals for children exiting Discovery preschool for kindergarten are consistent with the recommended accomplishments from the National Research Council's Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children . The child leaving Discovery Preschool for kindergarten will: recognize print in the local environment understand that different text forms are used for different functions of print (i.e., a list for groceries is different from the list on the menu)
