Kids Read To Dogs To Improve Reading Skills

Holiday reading greetings!
With the holiday season upon us, I hope you will have time to savor the time we have off with your child. Your child was able to pick a book from me as a present to share with you over the break. I hope you enjoy sharing the book with them. After reading the book encourage your child to answer questions such as, "Who were the characters? Where did the story take place? Would you like to read more books by this author? If so, why?" These questions will encourage your child to interact with text, reread if they don't remember the details, and enjoy sharing quality time with you! If you are busy, encourage your child to read to another adult in your home, a sibling, a stuffed animal, or even a pet! I recently read an article I'd like to share with you about how reading to animals can help to develop a child's reading skills.

Getting Your Child to Love Reading
Helping your children enjoy reading is one of the most important things you can do as a parent and it's well worth the investment of your time and energy.
Kids will learn reading skills in school, but often they come to associate reading with work, not pleasure. As a result, they lose their desire to read. And it is that desire—the curiosity and interest—that is the cornerstone to using reading and related skills successfully.
By far the most effective way to encourage your children to love books and reading is to read aloud to them, and the earlier you start, the better. Even a baby of a few months can see pictures, listen to your voice, and turn cardboard pages.
Make this time together a special time when you hold your kids and share the pleasure of a story without the distractions of TV or telephones. You may be surprised to find that a well-written children's book is often as big a delight to you as it is to the kids.
And don't stop taking the time to read aloud once your children have learned to read for themselves. At this stage, encourage them to read to you some of the time. This shared enjoyment will continue to strengthen your children's interest and appreciation.
Simply having books, magazines, and newspapers around your home will help children view them as part of daily life. And your example of reading frequently and enjoying it will reinforce that view.
While your children are still very small, it's a good idea to start a home library for them, even if it's just a shelf or two. Be sure to keep some books for little children to handle freely.
Include specially made, extra-durable books for infants, and pick paperbacks and plastic covers for kids who are older but still not quite ready for expensive hardbacks. Allowing little children to touch, smell, and even taste books will help them develop strong attachments.
How you handle books will eventually influence how your kids treat them. Children imitate, so if they see that you enjoy reading and treat books gently and with respect, it is likely that they will do the same.
When you read aloud together, choose books that you both like. If a book seems dull, put it down and find one that is appealing. There are, however, so many children's books in print that making the best selections may seem a formidable task.
One approach is to look for award-winning books. There are two famous awards for children's literature made each year by the American Library Association that are good indicators of quality work: the Caldecott Medal for illustration and the Newbery Medal for writing. But these are given to only two of the approximately 2,500 new children's books published each year.
Fortunately, there is a lot of other good help available. For instance, there are lists of books recommended by the American Library Association and the Library of Congress, as well as some excellent books to guide parents in making selections.
The best help of all, though, is at your neighborhood library. If you are not familiar with the library, don't hesitate to ask for help. The children's librarian is trained to help you locate specific books, books that are good for reading aloud, and books on a particular subject recommended for a particular age group.
The library also has many book lists, including ones like those mentioned above and probably some published by the library itself.
In addition, your library will have several journals that regularly review children's books, including the Horn Book and Booklist. These will give you an idea of what's new and worth pursuing.
And there's nothing like just browsing through the many books available at your library until you find ones that appeal to you and your kids.
If your children are school-aged, keep in mind that the school library is an excellent source for a wide variety of materials and the school librarian is knowledgeable about children's literature. Encourage your kids to bring home books from their school library for pleasure as well as for their studies.

Thankful
As we start a new month and reflect upon November, I wanted to let all of the parents know just how thankful I am for the opportunity to work with your wonderful children. They are all hard-working, positive, caring children who are making wonderful progress.
With the week before Thanksgiving being a short week, I had the opportunity to work with Mrs. Galewski's kindergarteners to begin to learn sight words as they learned to read, "Five Fat Turkeys Are We". They made this cute project that they were so excited to share with their families.
I also had the opportunity to work with a wonderful 1st grader, Aiden, who is learning his sight words with me. He did a terrific job of making this adorable sight word turkey which he was excited to share with his family.
I'm looking forward to seeing new students beginning next week and teaching them the great reading strategies they can use independently to become strong readers!

Nonfiction fun facts!
Vicky, David, and Dajuana read What is very long? with our wonderful practicum student, Ms. R., from Wisconsin Lutheran College. This book is a cool nonfiction book about different animals and the special parts of them that are long.
Vicky said, "I like the rabbit. It has long ears."
David said, "l like the walrus. The walrus has long teeth." He also said that he recently saw the walrus at the zoo.
Dajuana said, "I like the rabbit. It has big ears like my heart."

Reading Levels...What do they mean?
Your child may come home telling you they are reading at a level C or F or J. What do these reading levels REALLY mean? Our district uses Fountas and Pinnell leveling to assess readers in order to help them pick just right books that will help them to become confident readers. The chart below explains the reading levels at each grade level that children should be reading at.
If your child is not currently reading at their expected grade level as noted above, don't worry! This year, we will teach your child to use multiple reading strategies independently and the more your child reads the closer they will get to reading on level. Next week, I will share the titles of books at each of the K-2 levels that you can look for at the library the next time you are out. If you have any questions about the chart above, please let me know!

Ways a Parent Can Help a Child with Reading
I really enjoyed talking to parents during parent teacher conferences the last few weeks. I look forward to continuing to work with you to help your child become a better reader! Many parents asked me how they can continue to help their child with reading at home. The chart below has a lot of great tips to help you do just that!

Wacky Books Will Hook Reluctant Readers
Help your child get started on a book by reading it aloud for a few chapters. If it’s funny, chances are good that he will continue on his own when you get too “busy” to read to him. (One of my favorite tricks!)
We’ve been reading the Wayside School stories at bedtime — and sometimes I get to laughing so much that I can’t keep reading.
All these books and more that I recommend are available in the Imagination Soup online bookstore. The majority of these books are for ages 7 – 9, or second to fourth grade.

Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets

Sure, these books might not win a Newbery, or even be appealing to you, but just remember that the goal is to get your kids reading. So, ANY book that gets kids reading is good. More time reading gives your reader more practice, more confidence, and improved fluency. Remember — you want BOOK LOVE – that’s the ultimate goal.

FALLing for books!
Fall is my favorite season of the year. I love going to the pumpkin farm with my son, drinking hot apple cider, and most of all, reading fall books! This week, I'm including the covers of some great fall books that I think your children would love to hear you read to them (after jumping in the leaf piles, of course!) They are available at the West Allis Public Library.
