Children Celebrate Reading
Thanks to Betty Davis a published author of How Jill learned to read using phonics ,and creator and developer of the Funn with Phonics, tutoring program hundreds of children are celebrating reading in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Ian a five Year Old who has been part of the program for only two months said” Miss Betty, I read a sign at the Train Station the other day and I got it right” Or Jill another five year old that breezes through Cam Jansen books and can’t wait until she reads the next mystery. Jill brings books from home and has in the past read books to her classmates. or Mia who loves to read poems dictated her own poem to her dad that later is available in print. Or Allie who is now in fourth grade who read books far above grade level and who writes mysteries in intricate detail. The children I have described above have all been part of the Funn with phonics program which teaches children how to read in a fun way. Children are taught their sounds and how to chunk word families as well as clap sing, and play board games while learning to read. Older students are taught how to read longer words by dissecting a word into smaller parts and counting how many syllables are in words. Older students are also introduced to prefixes and suffixes
Most of us are aware of the literacy rates aof our children desperately need to be improved. The book How Jill learned to read using phonics would be a great tool for bridging the gap and improving literacy. Teachers, parents or anyone interested in teaching, their child to read or become a better reader would benefit from this book. It is great to see the enthusiasm of the children and the passion they possess. Their is nothing more heartwarming than to hear the words I can Read,!!!
