NAEC/IRA position statement
Building off of my last post concerning the importance of appropriate exposure and practices of literacy for children, something else that stuck out to me was the importance of reading aloud to children. According to the reading, this is the "single most important activity for building these understandings and skills essential for reading success" (pg.3). I couldn't agree more with this statement. Reading aloud to children allows for them to engage and enjoy reading while gaining "emotional security" in regards to reading.

This is such a neat resource! We've read and learned that being read to starting at a young age is VITAL, so this is a great resource I will have to remember for the future if I have students whose parents either don't read to them, or they don't know how to read, or they simply don't have time. It won't be as good as the face to face, but it would certainly be better than nothing. Thank you so much for sharing your resource!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. I have never heard of that site. Thanks for sharing!
