    Get Ready to Read!SM Screening Tool from the Family Education Network. "Take this 20-question research-based screening tool with your child. The score will show if your child's pre-reading skills are weak, strong, or somewhere in between. And you'll receive activities and resources to improve those skills."

    The Impeding of Reading by Dr. Mel Levine. "Children's reading abilities depend upon many different factors and influences. During their preschool years, future readers develop an interest in books, a fascination with letters and words, and the ideas they convey on paper. This spark can be ignited when children are read to often during the years leading up to their formal education..."

    Literacy Gateway - Speech-Language Pathologists are often the first professionals to identify the root cause of reading and writing problems through a child's difficulty with language. Here is how an SLP can help.

    LEARNING TO READ ... READING TO LEARN - Helping Helping Children With
    Learning Disabilities To Succeed. The National Center to Improve the Tools of Educators
    1996. "Parents can have a strong positive influence on their child's reading. Research has shown that enjoying books with a child for even a few minutes a day can make a measurable difference in the acquisition of basic reading skills, and that everyday activities - such as a trip to the grocery store -can be turned into enjoyable learning experiences. "

    Misunderstood Minds by Dr. Mel Levine. Read this fascinating article about "examples of children with normal or superior overall cognitive ability who are contending with differences in the wiring of their brains...that impede their learning productivity and enjoyment of education. In addition to deficiencies in basic skills-such as reading, writing or mathematics-some of the manifestations are less obvious. The kids may have difficulties managing time, expressing ideas in language, remembering facts or problem-solving methods on a test, understanding key concepts or gaining social acceptance from peers."

    Phonological Awareness an article by Dr. Paula Tallal. Read this article to find out more about phonological awareness and some simple word games you can play with your child to them help develop this skill.

    The Relationship between Phonics and Phonemic Awareness Beginning and remedial reading instruction: The intertwined roles of phonics and phonemic awareness.
    By Dr. Kerry Hempenstall.

    Working with the Mainstream Teacher by Stephanie Miller, M.A.Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities, Vol. 1, N.4. "The relationship between a parent of a student with learning difficulties and the child's mainstream teacher is an important one. With the trend toward placing students in the general population, how well parents and teachers understand each other's goals-and whether the child receives remedial help outside the regular classroom-have considerable impact on the child's success."
