Nearly 70 percent of fourth graders in America read below grade level, and experts nationwide are calling for more research-based reading instruction-both in school and at home.
Parents can take action and help their children learn how to read by utilizing an inexpensive resource offered by the non-profit American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (ABCTE; www.abcte.org or 1-877-669-2228).
ABCTE is offering the innovative ABCs of Reading Instruction CD-ROM course to help parents learn to teach reading. ABCs of Reading Instruction provides lessons on the science of reading and is modeled on the recommendations of the National Reading Panel.
"The course was initially designed as a training tool for classroom teachers, but parents can use it to help their children, too," said ABCTE President David Saba. ABCTE is a national teacher-certification organization, funded in part by U.S. Department of Education grants.
ABCs of Reading Instruction is presented in a dynamic textbook format and features graphics, animations, text, audio and video. Modules include phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and text comprehension. The cost of the CD-ROM is only $75.
For parents who want to ensure that they mastered the content of the course, ABCTE offers a professional certificate program. Designed for elementary teachers, the program is also available for parents and non-school-based reading instructors. The certificate program requires candidates to complete a computer-based exam on reading acquisition.
To purchase ABCs of Reading Instruction, visit www.abcte.org/ reading or call 1-877-669-2228. |
