adults should have as a goal to help
children become better readers in
1992.
Adopt a child or children to
read to this coming year. Set up a
schedule of dales so that the read
ing or storytelling hours will be
consistent. ?
Look into the possibility of car
pooling children to the library.
Check with other parents in the
neighborhood for car pooling pos
sibilities of carrying children to the
library for storytelling hour or
browsing through books.
Start a lap reading program in
your church, community centers,
or in your homes. There are lap
reading, preprinted cloth or fabric
pages, that can be sewn together as
- books at most fabric shops.
These books are easy to sew
together/ Several parents can get
together and have a workshop to
make these books and donate them
to Daycare centers, recreation cen
not tear up.
These preprinted pages not
only have stories in them but
opportunities for the child to look
at items that they can zip up, but
ton, snap and lace. The books can
be quite educational.
Books can be enjoyable for
children. In fact, children's books
contain many of the same elements
that draw children to movies and
TV.
These elements are action,
drama, rhythm, and dialogue; how
ever, its up to the person reading
Jhe story to bring these qualities to
life. Keep the following techniques
in mind while reading chLMmn; -?
(a) Do not read too slow or
fast;
(b) Change the tone of your
voice to create the desirable mood
or to depict the character;
(c) Let the words slither off the
tongue, imitating the action. Imi
tate the sound of animals. Verbs

should sound like the action they
describe. For example, rush, t;
whine, howl and moan. Your voice
should take on the quality of the
word;
(d) Use rhythm with prose.
Maybe even use some rap rhythm
with prose; and
(e) Act the parts of stories. Use
cut-out characters on a flannel >
board or make finger or hand pup
pets to make reading m^re interest
ing and enjoyable for children.
Whatever technique you use la.
read to children it's impossible to
be a failure. The child will benefit
and more than likely gain a keener
interest in reading.
