In todays’ digital age, where screens dominate much of children’s leisure time, parents and individuals in general, the value of reading and writing books can not be overstated. Encouraging children to read and write books is not merely about imparting knowledge but nurturing their intellect, imagination, and character.When it comes to reading and supporting children’s literacy development, parents rightly ask a myriad questions. These questions indicate an interest and desire to know more. The vast majority of parents is committed to their children’s literacy success and would do whatever it takes to find a solution if and when their children struggle with reading. They know how important it is.
Reading begins at a very early age when children start to take notice of the print that surrounds them and the talk that includes them. Children begin to engage with reading and writing experiences that attract their attention and interest before they go to school. When children are learning to walk and talk, we accept different levels of progress, it is the same with learning to read and write. This does not imply, that meanwhile, the parent sits back doing nothing. Children need ongoing quality experiences with books. Providing a regular, reading routine at home assists children in their quest for reading success.
When children write and freely express their ideas, this is called draft writing. Children need many opportunities to express their thoughts and ideas in writing without being concerned about the mechanics of writing such a spelling, punctuation and grammar. At this stage, worrying about spelling, punctuation and grammar can hinder their styles, expressions and exploration of words that best communicate their ideas.
In classrooms, children explore writing as a process from drafts to published pieces. Children are encouraged to write for real purposes and utilize a range of different text types such as recipes, factual texts, notes, report writing, narratives and poetry. They are also taught to consider how to appeal to different audiences.
Handwriting should not be confused with writing. Handwriting is a surface feature of writing and children who are self-conscious of their handwriting benefit from opportunities to write and draw with a variety of pens, textas, paint, magic boards, chalk and ‘fancy’ pencils. When it comes to publishing, children often publish on the computer, use voice to text recognition or publish in a variety of ways such a poster, alphabet books, dioramas, or chapter books. The form the publishing takes is the best match for the type of story being told.
For children to be successful in school, parents and families need to be actively involved in their children’s learning. They need to become involved early and stay involved throughout the school year. In fact, many studies show that what the family does is more important to a child’s school success than how much money the family makes or how much education the parents have.
