Evolution of Reading • Here is the road map with the “ I-Am-Reading ” road signs to watch for: – My child plays at reading. – My child can look at a picture and tell what is going on. – My child can use pictures to figure out what words he/she might find on the page. – My child can retell a story he/she has heard in order. – My child can point to words from left to right. – My child can point to each word as he/she reads. – My child can locate a word when I ask him/her to find it by using memory or what he has read. – My child can fill in a word that makes sense when I pause at the end of a sentence. – My child chooses to read independently at times. – My child knows the front and back of the book. – My child knows the top and bottom of the page. – My child knows what the author and illustrator do. – My child knows where the first page to read is and the first word. – My child knows about print-the names and sounds of the letters. – My child can use the sounds to help him find a word or figure out a new word.

Evolution of Reading • When your child is doing any of these steps, he/ she is reading! • Be tickled and let your child know he/she is doing a great job reading! • Remember: “ Children learn to read better by reading. ”

The Evolution of a Child ’ s Writing Drawings are an important part of a child ’ s writing. As children begin to write, they move through different stages. We encourage children to add their own “ writing ” to each picture that they draw at school. We ask them what they have written about their picture and then we might add some words for them. Our main goal is to encourage the children to write.

The Evolution of a Child ’ s Writing

Ways to Encourage Your Child to Enjoy Reading and Writing • Read to your child!!!!! • Discuss the books you read to your child/your child read to you. • Model being a good reader and writer by letting your child see you read and write. • Encourage your child to write (even if it is scribble writing and randomly written letters which are the first stages of writing) AND let him/her read his/her writing to you. • Ask your child to locate certain letters/words in signs, billboards, posters, food containers, books, and magazines.
