This booklet contains a short summary of what scientific research says about how children learn to read and write. It also discusses things you can do with your child at three different grade levels -- kindergarten, first grade, and second and third grades. These activities will help the child become a reader. In addition, this booklet contains a list of helpful terms and ideas for books to read and organizations to contact if you would like more help or information. (AMT).

Child Becomes a Reader: Kindergarten through Grade 3: Proven Ideas from Research for Parents (rev. 2nd ed.)

The impetus for this book emerged from a conference that brought together publishers, and reading researchers and educators for the purpose of examining the best available research evidence about what we know -- and what we have yet to learn -- about the teaching of reading and about how children learn to read. The goal of the conference was to contribute to a sound research base upon which to develop classroom practices that will ensure that every American child will become fully literate. Because the field is still so deeply divided over the best ways to translate belief into classroom practice, the editors decided to highlight rather than gloss over these divisions. It is hoped that the papers in this volume will promote thought and discussion that will lead to action in improving reading instruction for children, now and into the new century.
