School And Your Child
GETTING THE PRE-SCHOOL
CHILD READY TO READ
If you’re like many parents of
1 pre-school children, you may har
bor an urge to teach Junior to
read before he goes to school.
Before responding to this com
mon parental compulsion, ask
yourself:
“Am I moved to instinct the
boy in reading because of a con
cern for his welfare or simply to
inflate my own ego?”
Either way, the experts advise
! you, DON’T!
Even if your offspring is capa
ble of being taught reading be
fore entering school (and some
!exceptional ones are), authoriti
es recommend that it's wise to
hold off the instruction until first
! grade.
The logic runs this way accord
ing to such reading specialists as
i Uiberto Price, director of the read
ing clinic at Appalachian State
Teachers College; Albert J. Har
ris, former president of the Inter
national Council for Improve
ment of Reading; and Nancy
Larrick, noted author on read
mg:
A Child who reads on entering
grade one tends to be bored,
cocky, or impatient while other
kiddies leann What (he already
knows. Such attitudes may re
main with him even after his
classmates have caught up, Which
could hamper his progress.
And 'the others do usually cat
ch up.
'“In fact,” says Dr. Harris, “we
have definite evidence that actu
al harm can result from parental
preschool instruction. And time
after time we have seen that the
Child Who is taught reading at
seven is reading just as well at
the end of the elementary-school
years as the Child Whose reading
instruction 'began at five or ear
lier.
All this isn’t to say that your
youngster, i‘f he’s interested in
'books, shouldn’t be allowed to
try his hand at words on his
own. The point is that you, (Mom
and Dad, are advised not to pur
posely instruct him In reading.
Leave 'that to the first-grade tea
cher.
What, then, shotdd you do?
(Plenty!
Your job, say the elementary
educators, is to ready Junior for
reading. Readiness involves ma
ny things. Influencing it are Ju
nior’s health, speech, listening a
ibdiliity, how he gets along with
others, and his desire to learn
reading.
This task, Which is no easy
one, faces you dining the firsl
five years of the boy’s life. Read
ing readiness develops in the
home during this period, the ex
-tent of Which depends largely on
you.
The example you set is very im
portant. Do you read extensive
ly? Are there many books, news
papers, and magazines in your
home? If so, Junior will notice
your reading and ape you. He
won’t know the words. And he
may even look at the newspaper
upside down. But the interest is
there. And that counts.
Do you talk distinctly around
your pre-schooler? He learns cor
rect speech by hearing correct
speech. Is he free to talk among
adults in the family? Two-way
conversations between parents
and children develop language
know-how, basic in preparation
for reading.
Research 'studies actually show
that children reared in homes al
lowing permissive but courteous
talking scored higher on langu
age tests than youngsters in hom
es that “hush” Children in adult
presence.
•Give Junior plenty of speech
practice. Strike up conversations
with him at mealtime. Suggest,
for instance, that he tell the fa
mily about the pretty redbird
that ate crumbs thrown on the
snow.
Go so far as to permit the boy
to dictate a letter to Grandma
thanking her for Christmas pre
sents. Read his words back to
I In helping Junior Improve his
language ability, remember not
to mimic his baby 'talk. Refrain
from over - correcting mispro
nunciations. Just say the words
correctly at your first opportuni
ty and he’ll soon catch on.
How about Junior’s personal li
brary? Does he have books of
his own? Little 15-oent hardbacks
found beside cash registers In
grocery and drug stores make fine
collections. The books, colorfully
illustrated, cover many subjects
of interest from Mother Goose
to Lassie.
Nancy Larrick’s “A Parent’s
Guide to Children’s Reading”
(Doubleday) suggests excellent
books for pre-schoolers.
(Being a good listener is part
of reading readiness, too. You
help develop Junior’s listening
powers by reading to him and
j telling stories. Sprawling on the
I couch in the evening certainly ap
| peals to a tired parent. But it
1 shouldn’t take preference when
little Junior begs, “Read to me.”
Encourage Junior to comment
on readings he likes. And if he
wants to create a story himiself,
listen to it. You must be a good
| listener, too. For listening is al
iso taught by example.
Games stimulate the same po
wers that develop reading read
iness. For example, puzzles, even
for three-year olds, improve me
mory span and attentiveness.
Answer the pre-schooler's ma
ny questions patiently and sim
ply. Questions certainly indicate
an inquiring mind, which should
be continually cvStivated even at
expense of your peace of mind.

Never underestimate the edu
cational value of visit to a farm
