Get Ready to Read!
As with attention disorders, proactive parents and early intervention are essential to recognizing and combating reading difficulties. The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) has developed an early literacy program called Get Ready to Read! whose "vision is that all preschool children will have the skills they need to learn to read when they enter school." A wealth of activities, resources, research studies and information on early literacy are available on the program's Web site, www.GetReadytoRead.org, as well as a screening tool, which "investigates a child's skills related to print knowledge, emergent writing and linguistic awareness." These three areas have been identified as the most critical for learning to read. Visit the site to learn more about what you can do to help your child and to use the 20-question screening tool that takes just 12 minutes to complete. |
