The Stakes Have Been Raised!
Lorraine Carey
Kindergarten isn’t what it used to be twenty years ago.
Reading Readiness and many concepts that were taught in grade one are now
expected to be in place by the start of kindergarten.
As a veteran teacher and reading specialist I have been
involved with teaching kindergarten, testing and working with students who were
left well behind their peers in kindergarten. This has only resulted in
frustrated children who lack self-esteem and begin to have a negative response
to literacy when this should be a time to set the tone for a great reader and
lifetime lover of books.
I was trained in The Collaborative Literacy Project, which is
very similar to Reading Recover, which is taught in many schools. It’s proven
results have had students retaining grade level status or above up to grade
four.
This can be easily remedied with knowing exactly what is
expected of your child prior to kindergarten. Here in my book, A Rock Star
Reader Before Kindergarten I divulge my secret sauce for success. In these easy
steps practiced daily your child will not only learn to read but become that
lifelong successful reader.
The Reading Experience is a Bond~
We have many qualified teachers out there, but the most
valuable instruction will come from you! If your child sees you reading he or
she will know this is a valued concept.
Set a special time each day to read with your child. Try to
set a schedule and make it fun. This is where you will set the tone for a love
of literacy.
A Rock Star Reader By Kindergarten is always 99cents for
Kindle. It is available in eBook and print. I want every child out there to
have a chance to go to the head of the class!
School is about to be out for the summer and there is not better time
than now to get this process in motion.
I have two videos to assist you with this book. The links are
below. And I am always more than willing to aid in any questions for assistance
you may have.
Now Let’s Get Rockin’!
