Reading is essential for success in school and in life.
Research has shown that children who start kindergarten with good pre-reading skills are more likely to become good readers.
- 35% of children enter kindergarten without the necessary skills to be successful students. (Read to Learn, a 1991 Carnegie Foundation report)
- Children who have not developed some basic literacy skills by the time they enter school are 3 - 4 times more likely to drop out in later years. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 2002)
- 37% of 4th graders and 26% of 8th graders are reading below basic skills level. (National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2002)
You are your child’s first and best teacher and your home is where your child begins to learn.
- You know your child best and know what they like and don’t like. You can read their moods and know their capabilities.
- You spend time with your children every day. Children learn best by doing and they love to do things with you.
To become successful readers, children need to learn the code and understand its meaning.
- Learning the code is being able to notice print, know letter names and sounds, and hear the sounds that make up words.
- Understanding meaning includes knowing what individual words mean (vocabulary) and comprehending what it means when words are put together into longer pieces of language such as sentences, paragraphs, and whole stories.
You can help your child be ready to read by doing these five simple activities every day:
You can use these five practices to provide fun learning experiences for children of different ages and interests.

La lectura es esencial para el éxito en la escuela y en la vida.
Estudios han demostrado que niños que comienzan en kindergarten con buenas bases de lectura, son los que terminan siendo buenos lectores.
- Estudios muestran que hay un porcentaje de niños de 35% que ingresan a kÃnder sin las buenas bases de lectura. (Read to Learn, a 1991 Carnegie Foundation Report)
- Niños que no han desarrollado algunas bases de lectura al tiempo de ingresar a la escuela tienen la desventaja de 3 a 4 de dejar la escuela en los años mas avanzados. (National Adult Literacy Survey, 2002)
- 37% de niños de 4to grado y 26% de los de 8vo grado están leyendo bajo las normas del grado correspondiente.
Usted es la primera maestra de su niño y su hogar es el sitio donde su niño comienza a aprender.
- Usted conoce su niño I sabe lo que le gusta o no. Usted puede ver sus capacidades o su disposición.
- Usted pasa todo el dÃa con su niño, y a los niños les encanta hacer cosas con sus padres.
Para tener éxito leyendo, los niños necesitan aprender el código y entender su significado.
- Aprender el código significa que pueden notar la escritura, saber el nombre de las letras y sus sonidos, y escuchar los sonidos que componen las palabras.
- Comprendiendo el significado incluye saber lo que significa cada palabra individualmente (vocabulario) y comprendiendo que significa cuando las palabras estan juntas en piezas largas de lenguaje como oraciones, párrafos, y toda una historia.
Usted puede ayudar a su niño a estar listo para leer haciendo estas cinco actividades todos los dÃas:
Puede usar estas cinco prácticas para proveer experiencias amenas de acuerdo a diferentes edades e intereses.
