This is a unique book for parents, educators, and policymakers. It
is alone in setting forth a clear presentation of the learning
stages through which children must pass in order to become fluent,
independently literate readers and writers. It explains the
developmental dangers unique to each child that parents and
teachers may have to confront, as well as the educational
confusions and pathways to success that may determine the
educational fate of each child. It illustrates the learning process
clearly and nontechnically, and does not hesitate to point to the
educational errors as well as successes in the teaching of children
to read. It will be controversial because of its clarity and
scientific accuracy. This volume brings together the sciences of
psycholinguistics and developmental psychology with the practical
knowledge of classroom practice in literacy education to create a
unique, but accessible explanation of how children learn to read.
It explains the necessary educational and pedagogical steps that
parents and teachers both can take in assisting the child to make a
smooth transition from infant babbler to eight-year-old fluent
reader. It also points to the possible developmental as well as
educational danger signals that tell us when things are not going
as they should and suggests what we can do to overcome the
problems, slowdowns, and seeming failures to learn to read and
write. This volume discusses such important issues as emergent
literacy or reading readiness; phonics and slow reading; fluent
reading and the reading system; the dangers of the first-grade
Rubicon; reading problems of unique children; the dangers and
benefits of Whole Language reading rograms; Reading Recovery for
endangered young readers; the role of writing; parents, TV, and the
school program. The book is clearly written, uses nontechnical
terminology, and should provide teachers and parents a guide to
evaluating the progress of youngsters from the time they approach
child-care and pre-school stages of socialization to that point
where they should be reading independently for pleasure as well as
searching for information and subject-matter competency.
