Age 2 Curriculum-Skills Checklist

child, skills, reading, age, games, taught, proper, stories, God, fun, attention span.

Your child will pick up on your enthusiasm if you pick up a book with a smile on your face and you are genuinely excited about it.

A great way to increase your child's vocabulary (besides reading a lot of books to him) is to be very deliberate in your speech.

Besides being fun, it is an important lesson on how to behave in public, specifically how to behave in a library, and how to behave in a social gathering.

Ask the child if there is anyone he would like to pray for.

Even though the child is being taught that we take care of all books, a special emphasis needs to be placed on the care of God's Word.

Proofreading

Proofreading is not an innate ability; it is an acquired skill.

If he had slowed down and read word by word, out loud, he might have caught the error.

You take in the words between your fixation points with your peripheral vision, which gets less accurate the farther it is from the point.

The average reader can only take in six letters accurately with one fixation.

This means you have to fix your eyes on almost every word you have written and do it twice in longer words, in order to proofread accurately.

It is often possible to hear a mistake, such as an omitted or repeated word that you have not seen.

America Tomorrow A stage by stage guide of ways to help your child with their reading skills development from infants to school age children, by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

The ongoing debate over the best way to teach children to read focuses on two methods: phonics-based and whole language reading programs.

The traditional theory of learning established in the 19th century draws on the notion that children need to break down a complex skill, like reading, into its smallest components (letters) before moving on to tackle larger components (sounds, words, and sentences).

Most educators agree that a regular bedtime routine of reading with your child is an important factor in the development of interest in reading by that child.

Third, praise your child's attempts to read.

Share books you enjoyed as a child.

Software that professed to teach reading skills was among the first categories of educational software products developed.

Do you want to work closely with your child on the computer?

On the other hand, if you are looking for something your child can and will want to use on his own, then a high independent activity value and a high kids review score are more important.

No Child Left Behind authorizes Reading First---a Kindergarten through third grade competitive grant reading initiative whose goal is to ensure that all American children read well by the end of the third grade.

Reading First asks districts to screen and assess students' reading skill development, provide research-based instruction and intervention, report students' progress toward reading well, and provide aggregated and disaggregated data.

The Gates-MacGinitie Reading Tests® (GMRT®) are screening assessments that can identify students at risk---allowing you to know which students need further assessment, intervention, or enrichment.

At Levels 1 and 2, the GMRT can provide a detailed analysis of students' decoding skill development---thus targeting instruction.

Determining the best means of teaching children to read is of particular concern in light of dismal national reading proficiency scores.

Instead of focusing on the "either/or" of the phonics versus whole-language approaches to reading instruction, the debate now centers on the essential components of a comprehensive reading program.

Some feel that more emphasis should be placed on the skills-based instruction within a reading curriculum, while others feel that more emphasis should be placed on authentic reading tasks.

Reading First requires that states spend federal money under the act to promote only those instructional methods and materials with sound evidence that they work.
