Parents and Kids Reading Together: On the Independent Reader Channel
http://parentsandkidsreadingtogether.blogspot.com/2011/03/on-independent-reader-channel.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. On the Independent Reader Channel. It seems that this blog recently has gravitated to parents of children who are just beginning to read or who may not yet be readers. That certainly is an important time. They Aren't Ready to Fly Solo. Unique ways to support your older reader. The same strategies you use to encourage reading with a 5, 6 or 7 year old won't be very effective with a pre-teen or teen. Think "what are they interested in? One of my favorite researchers, reminds us all t...

Parents and Kids Reading Together: After Too Long An Absence . . .
http://parentsandkidsreadingtogether.blogspot.com/2011/01/after-too-long-absence.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. After Too Long An Absence . . . To all of you who continue to follow this blog. I have been absent, struggling a bit as all of us do from time to time, with squeezing everything we want to do into the time and energy we have. I know that parents can relate to that. With this post, I'd like to draw us back together and begin again the discussions about parents and kids reading together. This post is for parents of 2 year olds and parents of 22 year olds. Tampa, Florida for the.

Thursday, July 8, 2010. Preventing the Summer Reading Slump. WHAT IS THE SUMMER READING SLUMP? Think about bodybuilders or people who exercise. Once they stop exercising, their muscles quickly deteriorates or weakens because they aren't using them. It's the same with reading. Use it or lose it (I'm realizing that on the physical level more and more with each passing year - - I can barely hold up this stack of books)! READING AND WRITING AREN'T JUST FOR SCHOOL. Think bigger, broader). Number one, kids won...

Parents and Kids Reading Together: I WANT MY CHILD TO READ
http://parentsandkidsreadingtogether.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-want-my-child-to-read.html
Tuesday, February 22, 2011. I WANT MY CHILD TO READ. Recently, I was able to talk with a group of teachers (and later a group of parents of preschool children) about an important milestone in children's development: when they first learn to read. What I learned is how many misconceptions there are out there, spurred on perhaps in part by the new hype in the last few years of teaching babies to read. I'll just be giving my child a head start, right? The earlier the better.". I saw it on TV! Don't rush thi...

Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Grandparents and Kids Reading Together. Today's Web-Based Radio Show. Today I was privileged to visit with TalkShoe host, Kaye Fontana, on her Grandcoach Radio show. The topics certainly relate to grandparents raising their grandchildren but the concepts are applicable for parents as well. I even found myself saying "parents" instead of "grandparents" a few times in the show. If you missed us live, you can visit The Grandcoach. Grandparents Stepping Into A "Familiar" Role. If yo...
