While most children learn to read fairly well, there remain many
young Americans whose futures are imperiled because they do not
read well enough to meet the demands of our competitive,
technology-driven society. This book explores the problem within
the context of social, historical, cultural, and biological
factors. Recommendations address the identification of groups of
children at risk, effective instruction for the preschool and early
grades, effective approaches to dialects and bilingualism, the
importance of these findings for the professional development of
teachers, and gaps that remain in our understanding of how children
learn to read. Implications for parents, teachers, schools,
communities, the media, and government at all levels are discussed.
The book examines the epidemiology of reading problems and
introduces the concepts used by experts in the field. In a clear
and readable narrative, word identification, comprehension, and
other processes in normal reading development are discussed.
Against the background of normal progress, Preventing Reading
Difficulties in Young Children examines factors that put children
at risk of poor reading. It explores in detail how literacy can be
fostered from birth through kindergarten and the primary grades,
including evaluation of philosophies, systems, and materials
commonly used to teach reading. Table of Contents Front Matter
