Successful Reader Presentation

Editor's Notes

  1. Sometimes teaching your child to read may seem scary. Or if you notice your child has symptoms of being a struggling reader that can be even scarier. That is why today we will be share 4 easy steps to keep in mind to ensure your child will become a successful reader.
  2. This is the 30% that, if not taught explicit, systematic phonics, will never become fluent and accurate readers. Dr. Jean Chall, professor emeritus at Harvard University School of Education, said that 30% of students will memorize words up to the 4th grade and then level off. This becomes a consistent pattern with these types of students. They will not advance unless they are explicitly taught word attack skills.
  3. Sometimes teaching your child to read may seem scary. Or if you notice your child has symptoms of being a struggling reader that can be even scarier. That is why today we will be share 4 easy steps to keep in mind to ensure your child will become a successful reader.
  4. There is such diversity in preparation bringing a child to the point of learning to read. This is the biggest challenge for schools. Some children have very limited experience and underdeveloped vocabularies. Other children may have vast experience already in their young lives with exposure to a wide vocabulary. As many of you listening to this webinar are homeschoolers, that fact probably gives you an advantage, because you can customize your plan to your own child.
  5. From her research, Dr. Shaywitz has produced an incredibly valuable book called Overcoming Dyslexia that is highly recommended if you have interest in this topic.
