“You do an intervention with a second grader, you’re changing direction on a speedboat, but when you do an intervention with a fifth grader, you’re changing direction on an oil tanker.” -Catherine E. Snow, professor of education,

Learning to Look and Use Print in Text
Reading begins with looking and ends when you stop looking. LL2, p.3
• The child must: • Learn to attend to some features of print• Learn to follow rules about direction• Attend to words in a line in sequence• Attend to letters in a word left to right in
sequence(LL2, p. 3)

A rough early guide is that a child is likely
to be scanning print in the way he scans a picture –
looking here, there, and everywhere for one or two letters that he knows.
LL2, p. 21
Attending in a left-to-right sequence
when reading English is not something already programmed in the brain.
It must be learned.LL2, p. 3
The brain and eye must work together.
• During beginning reading young children give us overt signals about what they are attending to and what links they are making.
• Our visual experience is a mixture of information coming in from the eyes and prior association.
We can train the brain.
• As quickly as possible the learner should also be expanding a meager knowledge of print so that there are many opportunities for him to find letters and words he knows in the print he is trying to read.
LL2, p. 21
How to introduce a book to your child
• Look at the cover of the book and tell the child the title.
• Make connections to your own lives whenever possible
• Ask your child what he/she thinks the story is about
• Give the main idea
• Look through the pictures and predict what might happen
• Explain any unfamiliar concept or vocabulary
• Provide “clues” for your child
• Your child will be much more successful reading a book for
the first time if she knows where the story is headed
…if every parent – and adult caring for a child – read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in their lives, we would wipe out illiteracy within one generation.

We have to work together in order for our children to grow and succeed so that they
may become college and career ready.
