Learning To Read

[close] A group interested in early childhood reading development. We look to discuss quality books that will promote the enjoyment of reading while improving reading skills in young children.

[close] Come and join! All new(er) readers from K-2nd grade who are either enthusiastic about their new ability and book exploration or for those who might benefit from a little positive peer pressure and encouragement to read through age appropriate book discussion and fun-this is for you! Children will be encouraged to identify and discuss character roles, settings, plots, imagine alternative plots, their feelings about the story, any new words they learned from the book, and participate in voting for the following meetings’ stories. *Once a solid group, time, and meeting place has been established, we could alternate providing a healthy snack for the children if everyone agrees.

[close] 1 in [8 to 15] kids have a learning difference, like dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia (handwriting), dyscalculia (math), auditory processing disorder, or sensory processing disorder. Other children have challenges with slow processing, executive function, social skills, or working memory. It's easy for these kids to fall through the cracks, but there are books to help! This group is for parents of children who have problems learning in school, even if it seems like "nothing." The author of Fine Until Kindergarten: A Parent's First Guide to Learning Differences shares some of her source books and looks for input from other parents.
