The Reading Environment: How Adults Help Children Enjoy Books Keywords: Deaf Education Information/Books and Journals/Related professional resources by Aidan Chambers 96 pages/paperback ISBN: 1-57110-029-6 Concerned with the practical aspects of creating an environment that supports children as they become readers, he provides suggestions on school book fairs and displays, reading areas, author visits, and book selection. But having enabled children to become readers is only part of the issue, and he also addresses ways of keeping track of children's reading and helping them develop responses to what they read. Concise and elegantly written, The Reading Environment will be a valuable book for preservice and inservice teachers, and its distinctive blend of reflective and active comment make it an enlightening reminder to parents, media specialists, and librarians.

pageOn="research"; Order printed copies of this publication Click here for a list of resources for parents. Click here for a list of scholarly journal articles on the topic of family/parental influences on adolescent pregnancy. Home Useful Tips Ten Tips For Parents To Help Their Children Avoid Teen Pregnancy The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy has reviewed recent research about parental influences on children's sexual behavior and talked to many experts in the field, as well as to teens and parents themselves. From these sources, it is clear that there is much parents and adults can do to reduce the risk of kids becoming pregnant before they've grown up. Presented here as "ten tips," many of these lessons will seem familiar because they articulate what parents already know from experience - like the importance of maintaining strong, close relationships with children and teens, setting clear expectations for them, and communicating honestly and often with them about important matters. Research supports these common sense lessons: not only are they good ideas generally, but they can also help teens delay becoming sexually active, as well as encourage those who are having sex to use contraception carefully.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC In the 1990s, more attention has been focused on adults with learning disabilities (LD) as a result of increased advocacy and research, several major federal laws, and heightened awareness of the changing demands of the workplace. Until now, most programs, research, and funding had been directed toward children, although it is clear that most people do not outgrow learning disabilities (Gerber and Reiff 1994). This digest looks at current definitions of learning disabilities, the experiences of adults with LD, factors influencing their successful adjustment to adult life, and strategies for adult educators and counselors. DEFINITIONS OF LEARNING DISABILITY Federal regulations for implementing the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act use the term "specific learning disabilities"disorders in one or more central nervous system processes involved in perceiving, understanding, and using verbal or nonverbal information (Gerber and Reiff 1994). "Specific" indicates that the disability affects only certain learning processes. Although adults with LD consistently describe themselves as being labeled stupid or slow learners (Brown, Druck, and Corcoran in Gerber and Reiff 1994), they usually have average or above average intelligence.

Am I going to catch AIDS from Uncle Tim?" Dad shook his head... "I go to Uncle Tim's a lot... I hug him. Sometimes we have dinner together"... "It's safe for you to be with Tim," he said. "...Mom and I asked Tim's doctor how safe it is for us to be close to him. The doctor said you can't catch AIDS just by taking care of someone"... My Uncle Tim died the next day... "I wish dying was like sunset"... "I wish Uncle Tim would come back again in the morning." (Jordan, 1989) The paragraph above, from "Losing Uncle Tim" (Jordan, 1989), reflects a young boy's confusion and sadness on learning that his favorite relative is dying from a disease called AIDS. People in all times and places need to cope with problems about birth, separation, illness, and death. Children cannot escape from these problems. Through literature, children can perceive how others have encountered and resolved problems that cause sadness, stress, fear, and uncertainty. More importantly, children learn how to use conflict resolution strategies to deal with these problems.

Ideas at Work: How to Help Every Child Become a Reader - July 1999 A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Reading: Everybody's Business The private sector's interest in literacy is clear: it needs a skilled workforce without high costs to train employees. For the newspaper industry or book publishers, a nation of readers is essential for growth. But less traditional businesses also are taking the challenge. Here is a sampling of literacy efforts in the private sector. 7-Eleven: People Who Read Achieve The Southland Corporation's 7-Eleven chain teamed up with PBS television star Wishbone (courtesy of Lyrick Studios) to recruit college students to serve as reading tutors in local schools during the 1998-99 academic year. 7-Eleven is also a sponsor of Wishbone, the educational television show that promotes reading classic literature to elementary school children. In the summer of 1998, 5,000 7-Eleven stores launched a national campaign, People Who Read Achieve, to raise $1 million for literacy programs and organizations across the country. In the first year, the national campaign raised more than $677,000 and distributed grants to nearly 400 programs and organizations serving 372,000 children and adults. In-store canisters continue to collect donations throughout 1999. The campaign is an expansion of a pilot program started in 1989 in 7-Eleven stores in North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. In nine years, the stores in those states awarded more than $2 million to some 800 schools, libraries and other community organizations dedicated to helping people learn to read. 7-Eleven has high hopes for the expansion of this effort to build a nation of readers.
