This may be difficult to read, but we havent been selling reading skills very well... Our society has put a premium on one single aspect of the reading process - letters & sounds (or phonics). This has given the impression that 5, 4 or even 3-year-olds can become proficient readers but there is a myriad of psychological and neurological evidence that emphatically refutes this idea. It may be difficult to read that despite all your hard work, you have only scraped the surface of the learning and reading process with your child or, worse yet, that you may inadvertently have set your child up to fail... Although it may appear that even very young children can "read" words out loud (or decode), those same children often experience great difficulty extracting meaning from the printed word as they move through middle school, high school or college. Their reading skills may superficially sustain them initially, but the sad reality remains that 1 in 5 college students has to take a remedial reading class in their freshman year. This May Be Difficult to Read creates the opportunity for you to go back in time to think as a child thinks and read as a child reads. Engage in the fun, interactive examples, read the anecdotal evidence and participate in the research studies to experience reading as your child does. Armed with this new perspective, together, lets take reading into the 21st century and reinvent the reading process...Learn about brain development and the 5 comprehension skills that 5, 4 and even 3-year-olds should be focusing on instead of fixating on letters, sounds and rote memorization. Engage in 15 research studies within the book so that you can experience what your child may encounter as an early reader. This will shed some light on the many reading failures that occur throughout our educational system and help your child to avoid them.Follow the fun, 4-stage reading program to open up a world of sustainable literacy for your child that will focus on extracting meaning from the printed word. Lets use our understanding of the human brain to maximize our childrens learning potential while simultaneously optimizing our precious time with our children as we create a "need to read" in their daily life. Transform your home into a developmentally appropriate ecosystem and make reading part of your daily routine with fun, easy and engaging child-centered interactions. In our harried lives, somewhere between work, dinnertime, bath-time, laundry and house cleaning, we parents deserve to have more fun with our children!As parents, we have high hopes for our children. And rightly so, but children dont beep like a microwave when they are ready to learn! They also dont signal the amount that they have learned like your cars gas gauge measures your gas level! So why not apply some sound psychological research to bolster their success and put your mind at ease. Since reading is the linchpin of all future learning, its time to disrupt an educational paradigm that hasnt shifted in 50 years. Its time to reinvent reading! Remember, their brains are different from our brains. They dont think, speak, or learn like we do. Lets learn from their perspective so we can appreciate why "this may be difficult to read" ... Author Biography Given that this is a book about you and your children, you might be wondering, who do I think I am and why should you listen to a word that I say? Well, Im a cognitive, developmental psychologist. Ive taught in the classroom for over 30 years, and Ive raised three of my own children! Ive seen the struggle firsthand. Ive watched my children (and possibly your children) succeed and fail with phonics, reading, reading comprehension, and learning. Ive seen our collective children hurting and Ive also seen them succeed beyond their wildest dreams. I have such a passion for watching them develop a love for reading and learning that I wanted to share it with you.I earned my PhD from Stony Brook University in 1994 and I have been teaching and raising children ever since! I have marveled at the educational successes and failures of my own three children (the last of whom is now off to university).I have also been teaching at my local community college for over 20 years, and while I have seen many of my students succeed, I have also watched some of them struggle badly with the printed word. These are clearly highly verbal students, but their reading comprehension skills sell them short in the classroom. Granted, textbooks arent easy to read - they are often packed full of facts that develop concepts at a staggering pace - but how were these students prepared for college-level reading? What was their early childhood experience? Will your child be one of the success stories or will your child struggle with textbooks and comprehending the printed word? Remember, reading doesnt end with knowing your ABCs. Thats just the beginning of the reading process.This book is about success! This book is about inspiring the greatest number of children to love reading and the comprehension process so that they cant wait to pick up a book or dive into a textbook (that might be a tad too optimistic, but you get the point...).Aside from my work in the classroom, I have given lectures around the country, published magazine articles, served as an "Ask the Expert" for Texas Family Magazine, edited books for McGraw Hill, worked as a consultant for Relay/GSE, and presented workshops and lectures for the "Distinguished Speaker Series" and the Child Care Councils of Suffolk and Nassau County, New York. Review "This May Be Difficult to Read" addresses the underlying problem of poorly acquired reading comprehension skills in children of all ages. "This May Be difficult" offers parents and teachers a new perspective on reading comprehension that flags massive shortcomings that reveal themselves as a child enters middle school, high school or college. As a college professor, I have first-hand experience of this reading comprehension failure causing 1 out of every 5 college freshmen to take a remedial reading class. This May Be Difficult is a fun, interactive delve into the mind of a child that is based on 50 years of cognitive, developmental research. In the 6 brief years between birth and first grade, learn how to maximize your childrens time and neural development to give them a lifelong love for reading and reading comprehension. Remember, the ABCs are just tip of the reading process... "This May be Difficult" explores the reading process through the eyes of a child. It pinpoints why so many children fail to read successfully from PreK through college.This May be Difficult is aimed at parents and teachers of pre-kindergarten children. It lays out a path for successful reading comprehension in 4 fun and engaging levels.This May Be Difficult combines research and anecdotal evidence in a fun, interactive and practical format.As a college professor, I have seen many of my students fail because their reading comprehension skills are subpar. This May be Difficult addresses those inadequacies and offers a fun, engaging path to literacy for all children.People dont necessarily perceive that there is a problem with reading comprehension until its too late.We are stuck with an old-fashioned paradigm where we equate knowing our ABCs with reading competence. We have ignored the research for too long.As a nation, we often mistakenly believe that earlier is better with regard to education.Together, lets disrupt the field of education and introduce 60 years of research into every early childhood home and classroom. Together, we can make reading comprehension fun and exciting for all children....
