Help Your Child Get Ready to Read…. A FRIENDLY INSTRUCTION MANUAL
By Marylou Maeder
Emerging literacy, early literacy, ready to read- have you heard any or all of these terms? Have you been
overwhelmed, frightened or just plain confused by the recommendation to read 20 minutes a day to your child from
early infancy on? Well, fear not! You are probably already using many specific forms of communication with your child
that will help prepare him to read. Those terms are all labels for a large
array of interactions, activities, and ways of communicating with preliterate children to arm them with all they need to successfully navigate
the task of learning to read.
If you think about it, there is much that needs to come together
to be able to read a book. A child needs to be aware that print has meaning, know how to physically handle a book, have
letter knowledge, word awareness, phonological awareness (hearing smaller sounds in words), and possess some
background knowledge. Much of this is achieved by you, the parent, laying the ground work with speech, singing,
playing and having your child witness you reading and writing.
Before we explore all the ways you can do this, and maybe already are, let me share my view on reading to your
child regularly from an early age. It is easy and fun. If I had to choose my favorite thing to do with children (and luckily, I
don't) it may well be reading to them. My three children, now all adults, have had and enjoyed books from about the
age of 5 or 6 months. I was never much of a reader myself until I started reading to my children. During infancy they

Orange County Parent Child Center Expands its Campus, Consolidates Services
The Orange County Parent Child Center has recently expanded its physical presence in Chelsea,
consolidating the hub for its county-wide services in one location.
One of 15 Parent Child Centers in Vermont, OCPCC provides a myriad of family support and outreach
programs from Bradford to Chelsea to Randolph, and even Rochester. OCPCC merged with the Chelsea
Playschool in 2004 and has occupied the building on the corner of VT Route 110 and Bobbinshop Road in
Chelsea ever since. Now the programs have been expanded to a second building, the former Flanders
residence, which is right next door. This newly leased space has allowed two of OCPCC’s onsite programs
to grow and serve more individuals and families.
The Main Office building (formerly the Flanders’ home) now houses the Families Learning Together (FLT)
Program which is an intensive, daily program to help young parenting, pregnant, or at-risk individuals
complete their education, acquire relevant and desirable employment skills, and enhance life and
parenting skills. Participants’ roles combine that of a student, an employee, a volunteer, a customer and a
co-worker. For more information contact Coordinator, Emily Newman at 802-685-2264.
In the former Playschool building, now called the Sun House for its deep yellow color, OCPCC operates the
only birth-to-three early care and education program in the area. This licensed childcare program serves
children ages six weeks to 36 months. Parents who are enrolled in the FLT program receive care for their
children here. There are also a limited number of community slots available. Contact Emily Marshia,
Program Director, to inquire about availability at 802-685-2264.
“This move means that we have been able expand these two vital programs, which was our primary
objective and result,” shared Mary Ellen Otis, Executive Director.
“We can serve the entire county well by building a strong foundation here in Chelsea. It is a delight to once
again provide quality infant and toddler programming on this corner. And bringing more opportunity to
our FLT program will allow us to strengthen more young adults and their families. This is how OCPCC
contributes to building community.”

While Chelsea is not the largest town in Orange County, it is at the geographical center. Some meetings
with families take place in the community when possible. This not only allows families to become more
connected to their communities, it is also a great way for the community to become more familiar with
OCPCC staff. This is a shift from maintaining satellite offices in Randolph and Bradford. Closing these
offices brings programming directly into communities when it is fitting for the family. Additional programs
centralized from the Chelsea offices include Children’s Integrated Services, Welcome Baby home visits,
seven weekly playgroups, and Kids Place supervised visitations and exchanges. To connect with any of
OCPCC’s services, contact 888-685-2264. An Open House is planned for June. To learn more, visit

(Continued article from Page 1……)
As my child grew we would progress through actually getting through a board book, front to back, simple picture books,
story books, re-reading (ad-nauseam in the toddler/preschool years) favorite books, making reading time part of our
bedtime routine, reading chapter books (a chapter or two each night), to reading a book series (The Little House books
and later Harry Potter were favorites in our family).
Since I wasn't read to as a child and didn't read for pleasure until well into adulthood, I experienced the Little
House series (and many, many other books) for the first time with my children. It was wonderful to be introduced to
great children's literature with my children. It jumpstarted my increase in reading for pleasure and my interest in and
appreciation of quality children's literature. Now I read regularly to groups of children in the playgroups I facilitate. The
engagement I see from these young children is so rewarding. Reading is an activity where I can actively involve many
children of varying ages. Whether a child knows the book by heart or has never seen it before, they can enjoy listening
to it and viewing the illustrations. I do believe story/snack time is my favorite time at playgroup.
Now, back to the details of how to help our children acquire all those skills needed to master the task of reading.
Print awareness is understanding that print has meaning and knowing how to handle a book. It helps a child feel
comfortable with a book so that when it comes time to learn to read, she can focus on the reading itself and doesn't get
overwhelmed or lose focus because of her unfamiliarity with the book form.
There are many ways to help develop and strengthen print awareness in
your child. From very early (infancy) holding the book with your baby on
your lap and turning pages one at a time will begin this process. As the child
is able, let her turn the pages. A very young child may hit a book as you are
trying to read it. Many parents take this as a sign that she doesn't like the
book, when it may be just as likely that she is trying to turn the page without the necessary motor skills. Keep turning
and looking at and discussing the pages unless she becomes upset or tries to get down. When you are looking at books
these help the child feel a connection to pictures and words in books. Don't ever force any of these suggestions on your
Page
stand out in the text will help the child associate print with words. Encourage scribbling, drawing, and later, writing as

with words, run your finger under the title and any repeating phrases or rhymes. Pointing out the print to words that
child as one of the most important objectives is to make reading enjoyable. If
you have lost her interest, stop for now. When a child wants to hear the
same book over and over and over, have patience. Liking a story enough to
want to hear it repeatedly is a good thing and often leads to the child
memorizing the story, an excellent way to prepare to later read it.
Letter knowledge is being aware that letters are different from each
other, that they have names and sounds and that the same letter can look
different (upper and lower case, different fonts). This knowledge is awakened by playing with, seeing, and feeling
different shapes. Point out shapes in book illustrations and in the world at large, from your home to your community.
Talk about and explore shape similarities and differences. Play sorting games. Have large foam letters to play with. Show
the child what his name looks like and name the first letter. Point out the first letter of his name when you see it in print.
Point out signs in the community that have letters on them (STOP, EXIT). Use search and find books (I SPY) and have an
alphabet book. Encourage scribbling, drawing, and writing.
Phonological awareness is being able to hear and play with the smaller sounds in words. This helps with being
able to sound out words while reading. Singing and rhyming play a huge part in developing phonological awareness.
Singing slows down language so it is easier for the child to hear its parts and rhyming repeats and emphasizes certain
sounds so that they stand out from other sound, helping the child isolate sounds. From very early on, reading nursery
rhymes and introducing and repeating animal noises help establish phonological awareness. Later on, while reading a
story with a rhyme or repeated phrase, let the child fill in the rhyme/repeated phrase when he has heard it a number of
times. Play silly word games, moving sounds around in a word or making nonsense words for rhyming. Share poetry and
poetry books with your child.
The last component of reading readiness that I want to discuss is background knowledge, including vocabulary.

asked that you do not know the answer to, explore the answer together (brainstorm what it may be, look it up together,
let your child see that knowing where/how to find the answer is as important as the answer itself). Encourage
imaginative play, telling and retelling stories and problem solving. Talk about and encourage your child to talk about
events in the past and future and things that cannot be seen. These activities help develop your child's imagination.
Read factual books to your child, particularly those on topics that she shows a keen interest in. Seek these books
together at your library. If you come across a word you don't expect your child to know while reading, do not replace it
with a simpler word with similar meaning. She may figure it out in context or you can explain the meaning in a way that
doesn't break the flow of what you are reading (use a word with similar meaning as well as the unknown word). This
helps build vocabulary. You should always stop a story to answer any question the child presents. If you feel answering
the question will have a negative impact on the flow of the story, acknowledge the question and tell her you will answer
it later, and be sure to do so. Her experience of getting her questions answered will keep her asking and continue to
increase her general knowledge.
Now you know everything you need to know to prepare your child for reading. In reading this article you no
doubt found things you are already doing to strengthen reading readiness. You may also have learned a few new tricks
to add to your repertoire. One more thing I need to point out, whether you
have heard it or not, because it can't not be emphasized enough is – you
are your child's first teacher. From the day your child is born, talking and
singing to him will start him on his way to being ready to read. Enjoy
exploring books and reading with your child.
