Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 Real Men Read Book Buddies and HOSTS (Help One Student to Succeed), are tight collaborations between teachers and tutors, where closely monitored tutors used scripted teaching programs to bore in on very specific reading skills identified by the classroom teacher. HISD literacy project Wanted: Real men to inspire reading By ALLAN TURNER Jan. 26, 2009, 11:35PM Resources REAL MEN READ The Houston Independent School District is looking for men who are willing to read to students. Rick Evans taught high school chemistry only three years. But he quickly discerned a few teaching truths: Students who read for pleasure tended to excel and, regrettably, by high school, many students had closed their books for good. Next month, Evans, now a clinical research coordinator at Baylor College of Medicine, will join dozens of other Houston men in Real Men Read, a Houston school district pilot program designed to emphasize the joy of reading to elementary and middle school students. In one-hour sessions in February, March and April, volunteers will read to and lead book discussions with second-, fifth- and seventh-grade students in 31 schools. If deemed successful, the program - based on a similar effort in Chicago - may be expanded to other schools.

Testing Head Start to Death by Mark S. Johnson-Lewis Note: "The Marble Jungle" is a euphemism for the layers of bureaucracy in the federal government in Washington D.C. which too frequently hide the truth. From time to time will be presenting commentaries and analysis pieces whose purpose will be to cut through the political policy rhetoric in order to focus on what is really happening rather than what we are told is being done. For those of you who thought the Bush Administration is "all war, all the time," and that his domestic priorities are getting short-changed, think again. In his most recent assault on public education, and in particular, the education of children of color, Mr. Bush is once again showing his true agenda: Leave No Child Untested. Head Start, the most widely praised program to emerge from the Sixties War on Poverty, is about to be sorely tested. Since 1965, Head Start has been unparalleled in promoting the social, emotional, and cognitive development, as well as health services, for children in poverty. While Head Start has survived innumerable political and ideological battles through both Republican and Democratic administrations, the challenge from the Bush crew is unprecedented. They threaten to

Dr. Wade Horn on Kids: Jewish World Review March 30, 2000 /23 Adar II, 5760 Preschool Not A Must for Academic Success By Dr. Wade F. Horn http://www.jewishworldreview.com Q: The deadline for enrolling our son in a pre-school program starting in the fall is fast approaching. There are two highly regarded preschools within a mile of our home, but the two have different philosophical approaches. One of them has somewhat of an academic approach, teaching children mastery of the basics, such as numbers and the alphabet. The other rejects this kind of teaching in favor of "developmentally appropriate" learning. One example given by the latter preschool of developmentally appropriate learning is that all ages (2 through 4) follow the same themes (for example, holidays, family, etc.), but the difference might be that a 2-year-old will be given a triangle to color related to the theme, a 3-year-old will cut out a triangle that has been traced on a piece of paper, and a 4-year-old will be asked to trace and cut a triangle out of the paper himself. Our son, who will be 2 1/2 in the fall, has been cared for full-time by his mother and shows signs of being exceptionally bright. He speaks in beautiful complete sentences, knows the alphabet, and can count, although not always accurately. On the one hand, he seems ready for academic learning; on the other hand, we're not sure that kind of approach is appropriate at his age.

But more than that, I really love the way she taught me to interact with him so that it built his self esteem and helped him not be so frustrated with his dyslexia. She has such an amazing way of connecting with children and inspiring them. Her example has been so appreciated. I could not have done this without her. - Lisa, mother of a struggling reader Learning to Read in Orem Utah Instruction that works! Your first step in helping your child overcome his reading problems takes place when you schedule an appointment for an initial assessment. The assessment will help us determine what literacy skills your child has or lacks. After the assessment your child will be given instruction that best suits his or her needs. From the very first lesson students coming to the Superhero Training Center (STC) receive instruction that focuses on oral language proficiency, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension; six critical and necessary components to becoming a successful reader.
