Developing
Reading
Comprehension
By Sharon Oberne
I
was
working
with
the
maximum
number
of
elementary
students
my
job
description
allowed
and
I
did
not
have
any
room
to
include
a
student
named,
‘Chrissy.’
Chrissy
was
placed
on
awaiting
list.
However,
I
did
assess
Chrissy
to
determine
her
current
reading
comprehension
level.
Her
tests
indicated
a
year
below
grade
level
in
reading
comprehension.
Her
assessment
certainly
caused
a
problem
with
Chrissy’s
mother
and
the
classroom
teacher.
Chrissy’s
weakness
in
reading
comprehension
affected
her
performance
in
reading
her
social
studies
and
science
books.
She
was
consistently
failing
her
tests
in
both
of
these
two
subjects.....

Reading with
your
Children
By Karen
Sibal
There are
many
developmental
benefits
from sharing
books with
your child.
When done
regularly,
reading
helps young
children
develop the
obvious –
good
listening
and language
skills and
it prepares
them for
recognizing
written
words. And
then, of
course,
there are
many
emotionally
satisfying
benefits
from
spending
quality time
with your
child and
her
favourite
book – the
feelings
she’ll have
of being
loved,
comforted,
nurtured,
and valued.
Karen
Sibal, a
researcher
and
communications
consultants
shares
valuable
tips and
strategies
for parents
reading to
their
babies,
toddlers,
preschoolers
or early
school age
readers.

Why
Children's
Personalized
Books? An
Educators
Perspective
by Brenda
Rollins,
Ed.D.
Why
personalized
books?
Personalized gifts,
especially
personalized
children's
books, are
an ideal way
to touch a
child's
imagination
and keep
their
interest...
By listening
to the books
being read
or by
reading the
books
themselves,
children are
motivated to
learn and,
as a
by-product,
they enjoy
what they
are reading
or hearing.
Brenda
Rollins,
Ed.D., a
retired
educator
shares with
us a wealth
of her
experience
and how
personalized
gifts are
not only a
great gift,
but also how
they enrich
a child and
has
educational
value.
