Parent Handbook on Getting Children Ready for Learning by Barbara Holmes,Angela Seay Pdf

According to the national Network of Partnership Schools, for parent involvement to flourish, it must be meaningfully integrated into a school's programs and community. The network identified two very important things that schools can use to guide their efforts. It says schools can: (1) Help families with parenting and child-rearing skills; and (2) Encourage families to be involved in learning activities at home; You will find that these strategies are at the core of this handbook which can be used to help parents learn how to appropriately engage their children. "When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more." That's the conclusion of a recent report from the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory. The report, a synthesis of research on parent involvement over the past decade, goes on to find that, regardless of family income or background, "students with involved parents are more likely to: Earn higher grades and test scores, and enroll in higher level programs; Be promoted pass their classes, and earn credits; Attend school regularly; Have better social skills, show improved behavior, and adapt well to school; and Graduate and go on to postsecondary education." (Henderson & Mapp, 2002)

The Kindergarten Survival Handbook by Allana Elovson Pdf

Written to help parents understand what their children need to know before they start kindergarten, this volume, bound separately in English and Spanish, is intended to help parents become their children's best, as well as their first and most important, teachers. The first part of the book, the before school checklist, is divided into eight sections, each about different skills children need to know. The eight sections are: (1) things they need to know (the basics); (2) understanding and being understood; (3) self-help and social skills; (4) large movement skills; (5) small movement skills; (6) using all their senses; (7) recognizing pictures; and (8) words and letters. The second part of the book, a guide for parents, shows parents how to help their children learn the things they need to know. This part is also divided into eight sections that show simple things parents can do at home, or anywhere, without special equipment or materials, on a daily basis. Following an introduction that offers parents general guidelines for helping their children, the guide covers the skills listed in the before school checklist in eight sections. A final section discusses why the parent is always the most important person in a child's education. (TJQ)

How to Teach Your Preschooler to Read in 30 Days by ATLANTIC PUBLISHING GROUP,Atlantic Publishing Group Inc. Staff Pdf

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children introduced to reading early on tend to excel in school compared to children who are not exposed to language and books at a young age. While the building blocks of literacy begin at infancy, a child as young as 3 years old has the ability to read basic words and short sentences. According to the National Institute for Literacy, researchers have found strong evidence that children can learn reading and writing in their earliest years, long before they go to school. Is your child interested in learning his or her ABCs? Does your child play with books and interact with you and the story while being read to? The most important factor in determining whether your child is ready to learn to read is his or her enthusiasm for learning. If your child has begun to express an interest in reading, this book will provide you with the tools for teaching him or her the basics of phonics and promoting a love for reading -- one of the best gifts a parent can offer a child. How to Teach Your Preschooler to Read In 30 Days addresses some basic questions you might have about the benefits of reading as a preschooler, the keys for teaching a child to read, and the tools and supplies you need to create an effective classroom in your home. This book provides lesson plans for a four-week instruction program. You will begin by introducing a set of preliminary sounds and letters and incorporating these letters into games. Once your child has mastered these words, you can teach him or her more complex sounds and words, and your child will begin to construct simple sentences. This book includes short stories you can use to continue your child's reading instruction after completing the four-week program. Games, visual cues, and role-playing -- the main means of learning for children ages 3 to 5 --provide an entertaining environment in which your child can perform his or her best. This book also addresses how babysitters and other caregivers can help teach your child to read and shows you how to create a reading record book so caregivers can provide you with proper feedback on the progress your child made while you were away. This book also addresses how to speak with teachers about your child's reading abilities upon entering school to ensure he or she continues learning. We spent hundreds of hours interviewing early childhood development educators and parents who shared their tips and advice for not only teaching your child how to read, but also instilling a lifelong love of words in their hearts. In a world where a college degree is becoming the new high school diploma, make sure your child is keeping up with the times by establishing his or her literacy at an early age with this helpful book.
