Thanks for posting a comment to Pa...Pragmatic mom,<br /><br />Thanks for posting a comment to Parents and Kids Reading Together. You are right to treasure the times with your own children (with those beginning readers, find great books that are just on their level so they can easily, successfully read and then books that are just delicious and require a little more effort. That will keep the "motivation button" on.<br /><br />Also, it doesn't have to be your last because, with all your experience, I hope you'll find a child or children in your area who can use such a supporter. <br /><br />I have a 20 year old and still get my fix regularly with little ones.Cathy Puett Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359939210231329861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462786552668223500.post-81064024378073832642010-03-28T10:58:03.146-07:002010-03-28T10:58:03.146-07:00I heard that you need to read about 500 hours to y...I heard that you need to read about 500 hours to your child as a baseline to helping them to read. I guess that is not hard if you read together every night since they are born. <br /><br />Thank you for this article. I blog on phonics and how my kids learned to read at http://pragmaticmom.com<br /><br />I do find that it's just like learning to walk... the early walkers are not necessarily Olympic Track Stars! <br /><br />But it is so exciting when your child learns to read; my youngest is just starting to now. He's excited but easily fatigued and I'm thrilled but sad that this is the last time I'll experience this precious, exciting time of discovering how to unlock the words! <br /><br />Pragmatic MomCoffeeShopBloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889349046396021039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462786552668223500.post-40496599399842592902010-03-28T06:33:44.658-07:002010-03-28T06:33:44.658-07:00Michelle,

If those of use who understand these "secrets" share them with others, we will be adding to "the revolution" that is so necessary: families being involved in their children's literacy development AND families and teachers having authentic, two-way partnerships to help children succeed.Cathy Puett Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359939210231329861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462786552668223500.post-9514518077167221412010-03-27T07:29:04.603-07:002010-03-27T07:29:04.603-07:00You did a great job here.

I'd like to share a post of mine with your readers showing how my three children learned to read differently. http://beginningreadinghelp.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-daughters-path-to-reading.html<br />I completely agree that teachers and parents must use what a child knows to teach what a child is learning. For example: If a child is learning to blend sounds, make sure the child knows the sounds he/she is blending.Parent and Child Reading Assistancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301555963338021290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462786552668223500.post-46935444315748951972010-03-26T17:06:48.968-07:002010-03-26T17:06:48.968-07:00Great article, Cathy.

I like the "reading from birth" concept as long as you aren't talking about forcing children to learn to read conventionally before they are at their prime time. We've gone way off the deep end there.Cathy Puett Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359939210231329861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462786552668223500.post-780941807970320802010-03-26T15:03:33.224-07:002010-03-26T15:03:33.224-07:00What a great article.
