AB: Based on the premise that by engaging parents as effective partners, teachers and students win at the reading game, this book aims to help teachers tap into all the resources of school and home to maximize children's learning potential. The book provides teachers with a concrete framework for training parents to learn strategic techniques in helping their children read. It includes everything an educator needs to know to conduct a parent workshop: a comprehensive step-by-step guide to facilitate parent workshops; concrete tips to involve parents; communication skills to help parents help students; an overview of the developmental aspects of reading; the role of phonics in the reading process; the use of real literature in reading; a reproducible parent handbook; strategies for helping students with specific reading difficulties; and tips for creating a supportive learning environment. The book is organized in a concise manner, with each chapter self-contained in terms of the concepts and topics discussed, and with references. It is intended for educators, curriculum supervisors, administrators, and anyone who wants to learn how to successfully integrate parents into the development of children's literacy. (NKA)

AB: A study examined the effectiveness of specific teaching strategies in the reading curriculum that would help underachieving first-grade students meet reading standards by the end of the school year. Subjects, 6 underachieving students, were given the Basic Phonics Skills Test (BPST), the Results high frequency word list, and the Results reading test at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. Three strategies and interventions were used: phonics/phonemic awareness instruction, reading in leveled decodable books at least four times a week, and learning the first 100 high frequency words. Parents were also encouraged to participate: students took the decodable books home and read them to their parents. Results indicated that (1) the scores on the BPST correlated with the reading level scores of the students; (2) students who returned their decodable books each day and exchanged them for new books had higher reading scores than those who did not read at home each day; (3) the more high frequency words a student knew, the higher his/her reading level was; (4) parents believed the strategies were key to their child's successful reading development; and (5) students who read at home on a consistent basis showed more of a desire to read independently. An action plan based on these findings includes assessing students' reading progress throughout the year; teaching phonemic awareness; teaching a daily systematic program of phonics instruction; teaching the first 100 high frequency words; using leveled/decodable books; having students take home books; and involve parents in their child's reading development.

AB: This report describes a program for improving student independent reading skills through direct phonics instruction. Students were exhibiting inadequate reading skills, which interfered with academic achievement. The targeted population consisted of second and third grade students from a northwestern Illinois city of about twelve thousand. Problems were documented from data showing students were reading below grade level. Students were unable to sound out words or read fluently, and were not successful, independent readers. Oral reading fluency tests were administered during May of 1998. The students scored below average in the Illinois Goal Assessment Program. The students were given a Motivation to Read Survey to determine desires and attitudes toward reading. Analysis of probable causes revealed the targeted school had no formal phonics curriculum in place. The reading curriculum was a literature-based, whole language basal reader series, with vocabulary that was too difficult for many students to decode. Students and teachers were frustrated with lack of success in reading. After a review of professional literature and an evaluation of the current curriculum, it was determined that there was a need for a systematic method of teaching reading that did not depend on a home-based background of literacy. Intervention strategy included teaching a direct phonics curriculum, the use of a reading motivation program, frequent testing and intervention, parent involvement, and peer coaching. Results of post intervention data indicated that direct phonics gave students the strategies to become independent readers when combined with a program using whole reading experiences with peer and parental involvement. Contains 32 references, and 6 tables and 10 figures of data. Appendixes contain survey instruments, reading tests, worksheets, parent participation materials, phonics games, and a sample Accelerated Reader Reading Record report. (Author/RS)

AB: A study investigated whether increasing the motivation/interest for children and their families to engage in more frequent and higher quality shared book reading interactions will significantly increase the vocabulary and reading/reading readiness abilities of school-aged and preschool children. Subjects were 30 preschool and 30 school-aged children and their families from Kankakee County, Illinois, who signed up for the research (57 completed the study). They were divided into treatment groups and control groups for each age level and location--Kankakee and Bourbonnais. Children were pretested; t-tests were conducted, and test scores were not found to be significantly different for each group. Treatment group children were located at Kankakee, and control group children were located at Bourbonnais. Parents kept a running record on forms provided of how many books they read with their children during the program's period. Re-reading was allowed, and each reading counted as a separate event on the list. Parents in the two treatment groups were given a "Book Reading Suggestions" sheet with eight ways to improve book reading quality, and whether parents followed these suggestions was monitored. The most books read by any family was 56; the median number of books read was 29. Findings suggest that receptive vocabulary and reading ability appear to develop along separate lines. The "folk wisdom" effects of shared book reading upon the development of either vocabulary or reading ability were not found. (Contains 60 references, and 2 tables of data and a figure; appendixes with definitions, abbreviations, and parent questionnaires are attached.) (NKA)

AB: Based on the premise that the missing piece of reading instruction is code knowledge, this book is about how to teach a code and the best way for children to learn it. The code used in the book maps 26 symbols to nearly 40 sounds--there are many different ways to spell most sounds, and many symbols stand for more than one sound. Following an introduction by Diane McGuinness, chapters in the book are titled: (1) Reading Explained; (2) Getting Started; (3) Teaching the Basic Code; (4) Adjacent Consonant Sounds; (5) Teaching the Advanced Code; and (6) Multisyllable Management. The book includes: simple diagnostic tests to determine a child's reading level; a "literacy growth chart" to help establish goals; detailed instructions on how to correct faulty reading strategies such as part-word reading and memorizing; lesson plans, hands-on materials, worksheets, stories, word exercises, and games; and lessons constructed to meet the interests and capabilities of children of all ages. An afterword, various tests, and a glossary conclude the book. (NKA)

AB: Noting that children's success as learners rests on their ability to read well, this booklet provides parents with information about learning to read and includes activities for them to use in helping their children become readers. Twelve essential components of research-based reading programs are discussed: components 1 through 5 list activities that can be used with all young children but particularly with preschoolers. Components 6 through 12 include activities that can be used primarily with children as they are learning to read at school. The 12 components stipulate that children have opportunities to: (1) expand their use and appreciation of spoken language; (2) expand their use and appreciation of printed language; (3) hear good stories and informational books read aloud daily; (4) understand and use the building blocks of spoken language; (5) learn about and use the building blocks of written language; (6) learn the relationship between the sounds of spoken language and the letters of written language; (7) learn decoding strategies; (8) write and relate their writing to spelling and reading; (9) practice accurate and fluent reading in decodable stories; (10) read and comprehend a wide assortment of books and other texts; (11) develop and comprehend new vocabulary through wide reading and direct vocabulary instruction; and (12) learn and apply comprehension strategies as they reflect upon and think critically about what they read.
