Synopsis
Reading, however fundamental the task may seem to everyday life, is a complex process mastered only after the synthesis of numerous components, both intellectually and conceptually. Yet, learning to read in its early manifestations is not an overwhelming problem for most children, especially when their classroom learning is coupled with a nurturing home environment in which reading is cherished, and pencil and paper are always available and fun to use. In fact, studies have shown that children score higher in reading if their parents support and encourage them at home. Unfortunately, though many parents want to involve themselves actively in their children's learning, very few know just what to do. Most parents don't have a clue about where to begin in helping their children succeed in school and discover the joys of reading. Now Dr. Harvey S. Wiener, author of the classic Any Child Can Write, provides an indispensable guide to helping your children enter the magic realm of words. In Any Child Can Read Better, 2nd Edition, Dr. Wiener offers practical advice on how to help your children as they make their way through the maze of assignments and excercises related to classroom reading. In this essential book, you'll discover how parents can be "reading helpers" without replacing or superseding the teacher--by supporting a child's reading habits and sharing the pleasures of fiction, poetry, and prose. Through comfortable conversation and enjoyable excercises that tap children's native ablitites, parents can help their child practice the critical thinking and reading skills that guarantee success in the classroom and beyond. For example, Dr. Wiener explains how excercises such as prereading warm-ups like creating word maps (a visual scheme that represents words and ideas as shapes and connects them) will allow youngsters to create a visual format and context before they begin reading. He shows how pictures from a birthday party can be used to create patterns of meaning by arranging them chronolgically to allow the party's "story" to emerge, or how they might by arranged by order of importance--a picture of Beth standing at the door waiting for her friends to arrive could be displayed first, Beth blowing out the birthday cake placed toward the middle of the arrangement, and the pictures of Beth opening her gifts, especially the skates she's been begging for all year, would surely go toward the end of the sequence. Dr. Wiener shows how these activities, and many others, such as writing games, catagorizing toys or clothes or favorite foods, and reading journals, will help children draw meaning out of written material. This second edition includes a new chapter describing the benefits of encouraging children to keep a journal of their personal reactions to books, the value of writing in the books they own (underlining, writing in the margins, and making a personal index) and a variety of reading activities to help children interact with writers and their books. Dr. Wiener has also expanded and updated his fascinating discussion of recommended books for children of all ages, complete with plot summaries. Written in simple, accessible prose, Any Child Can Read Better offers sensible advice for busy parents concerned with their children's education., Studies have shown that children score higher in reading if their parents support and encourage them at home. Unfortunately, though many parents want to involve themselves actively in their children's learning, very few know just what to do. This book offers an indispensable guide to helping children enter the world of reading. Dr Wiener provides in-depth description of ways parents can use conversation, writing games, and exercises with pictures to help children draw meaning out of written material., Reading, however fundamental the task may seem to everyday life, is a complex process that takes years to master.

NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).Beautiful Music for Two String Instruments, Bk 3: 2 Violins by Samuel Applebaum (#403989405345)
