Unless you want to read

Psychologically, financially, culturally, there's a roller coaster of things historical data can tie into. For instance, if you've got kids who learn how to read at an early age, they may also be stage-four test-learners. Psychologically speaking, they process material differently from adults who have not been exposed to reading at an early age.

When exposed to reading, psychologically, kids learn how to maneuver new freedoms. That's why reading aloud in public is essential, even kids with dyslexia can learn to read effectively and effectivly steer their future; they learn to solve problems and feel good doing it. It's the brain's natural way of learning, which is why reading programs are so important. Parents who don't speak properly to their kids, and kids who have trouble understanding why they need to go to school, are even more likely to have dyslexic kids. Why is this not more talked about? I think that people do not realize the power that reading has for young people.

Reading has the power to take you to faraway places; the power to time travel. Words lift off the pages; worlds, far from our own, come to life. It only happens when you read.

Reading is also one of the best ways to extract the shared knowledge of Homosapiens. Imagine if there was no written language. You would have to go to people and ask them to impart their knowledge to you. Once dead, any knowledge not imparted to another would fade away.

The good news is that you can help your kids learn to read very quickly. And believe me, they will love you for it! Check out a few sites and start with simple books. If the book is too complex, they'll fall behind and lose their concentration every time they read a page. This is a serious problem in today's world, especially in school. Most students struggling in school read so slowly that it's clear to educators that they are learning very little.

It's vital to your kids' learning experience that they start building and building solid reading skills even before they start school. Often, reading skills are wiped out by other students' laziness. If your children have problems reading, you need to understand their struggle and do something about it.

Most teachers also have little patience with kids who have problems reading and want to move on with their lessons. They do not have the time to explain, and over time, your kids' issues will dominate their relationships with the other kids in the classroom. This is a tough thing to deal with, and on the whole, it's probably going to be pretty tough for your children at school.

Maybe now will be the time to try something like an EZ Book Reader. There are some beneficial features built into this reader, like expanding text quickly. Also, there are built-in character curves for easier reading--all scannable full-color character charts. Another Helpful method is Orton-Gillingham, which is direct, explicit, instruction. This instruction is usually delivered in a 1 on 1 setting.

What about audiobooks? Yes, you can play audiobooks for your kids. Is it more useful than just reading on a page? At times it could be. If you find that your kids are getting bored in the classroom, it may be time for something different. Of course, you will have to decide on a balance between listening to books and the benefits that vocalizing offers.

The important thing is to get your kids to learn and enjoy books.

Remember, if you want your children to learn how to read and have fun at the same time, you will have to be ready to read and provide your children with opportunities often.
