Preventing
Reading Difficulties in Young Children (http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/prdyc/)
- The focus of this report is prevention. The
report sketches a picture of the conditions under which reading
is most likely to develop easily--conditions that include stimulating
preschool environments, excellent reading instruction, and the
absence of any of a wide array of risk factors.
Starting
Out Right (http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/sor/)
- A guide for promoting children's reading success -
Parents want to provide their preschool children with a good
start in literacy. A school district tells its teachers to change
the way they teach reading. Preschool caregivers want to be
sure that the children they care for are ready for school. A
mother attending a school meeting hears confusing messages about
the best way to teach beginning reading. A corporate executive
wants the company to support an after-school tutoring program,
but is not sure where to start.This book is for all these people.
It is written particularly for parents and others who can influence
the education and development of young children, especially
policy makers, caregivers, and teachers.
