Children, when reading, construct their own meaning. 2. Effective reading instruction can develop engaged readers who are knowledgeable, strategic, motivated, and socially interactive. 3. Phonemic awareness, a precursor to competency in identifying words, is one of the best predictors of later success in reading. 4.

These are geared toward parents, but apply well to teachers 1. Research on reading generally agrees that the most critical aspect of reading is how a child feels about reading. Positive reinforcement from parents and teachers helps. Children need to know that adults in their lives care about reading. 2. Research also agrees that in most cases, forcing a child to read will yield no positive results. Most children should not be REQUIRED to read each day, especially if it's forced reading for pleasure. Some families find that having a reading time when the whole family reads works.

I laminated the strips and now each child can take a dry erase marker and practice writing their name over and over. I encourage the children to practice writing on each other's names. In addition to promoting writing skills, this activity encourages friendship and sharing. At the school years' end, the strip will make a nice memento of the preschool year.
