The Best Ways to Teach Kids to Read
Amy Basinski-Long was a student teacher in the Chicago Public Schools system when she witnessed a literacy miracle: Harry Potter helped her learning-disabled students improve their reading more than three grade levels in under two years.
The eighth-graders had read the first of the Harry Potter series the previous year with the help of the book's audio version. When Amy started working with the students, she quickly noticed their vested interest in the series and began reading the second Harry Potter book with them, though it was both outside the school's standard curriculum and well beyond the students' comprehensive capabilities.
"Even though the books were really hard for them,he was what everyone was reading. We were taking material and relating it back to them personally. ... That's how information becomes relevant to a child, so it's not abstract information on a page," Amy says.
The students' devotion to the series paid off. When they were tested in sixth grade, before they began reading Harry Potter, nearly all tested at least a grade below their expected reading level. After two years of popular material and listening to the books read aloud on tape, more than half the class was up to grade level in reading ability.
Success stories such as this beg the question: Is there a more effective way to teach reading?
Experts say there is. Here are a few suggestions to make sure you're not missing the boat on raising a successful and wide-eyed reader.

I agree that a gift of reading should be given to kids at an early age. It all comes form the family and if your parents read a lot, you WILL read a lot.
Thanks for the info. I have loved to read since a very young age. I hope and pray I pass that on to my daughter. I know I need to spend more time reading to her. This is some great advice! I love the suggestion about letting her write with non-traditional materials such as clay and pipe cleaners!
Nice post

a very good comprehensive and effective way of teaching child and thanks for such a beautiful topic for sharing.
Thanks for the dynamic piece bilal. There are four great contributore whose observations I can relate to. I learned to read at a young age. With the benefit of hindsight it must have been my Father's subtle influence - Apart from the Bible that he reads, he never read abook but always read the newspaper and always instisted thatall children read daily:
With my children, I have used their love of video games to motivate them to fix computers and install programs on them. This is in the hope that they are motivated read to fix bugs and viruse. If the sttreategy fails, they have already learned a skill. With the older ones, reading is excellent. I have excluded the younger because of assessment difficulties. They suffered at least five years of a teacher go slow, two years of token schooling when techers no longer attended...two years I was an economuc refugee outside the country and could not supervise them at home...So the best I could do is to compare them with their classmates, which would be too intrusive.
It is a sort of training for the young parents who want their chile to gaduate within a few hours
nice information. it could help a lot of parents out there.
