Reading Mastery 
Direct Instruction comes to Shive!
     We are very excited about a new reading program called Reading Mastery.  We are presently using it with teacher selected students in grades K, 1, and 2.  This is a very intense program that builds the solid foundation needed to be a good reader.

PARENTAL HELP AT HOME from Family Education Network, Inc.
  • Subscribe to a newspaper and point out interesting information.
  • Play card games with your children. This helps them recall numbers and the four suits (shape). It's also good for strengthening memory and problem-solving.
  • Set up a card-table with a jigsaw puzzle on it and work on it daily, a little at a time. This is something the entire family can do, and for young children it develops location skills and identification of shapes (which helps with reading).
  • Go grocery shopping with your children, and let themn be involved in finding specific items. (Take labels to match.)
  • Allow your children to help you put items away and categorize them (all of the soups, the cereals, the cleaning supplies, and so on).
  • Let your children sort the clean socks from a load of laundry. This is a good categorization skill.
  • Teach your children the proper way to answer the phone and take messages.
  • Get a public library card and bring your child to the library regularly. Libraries often have special events.
  • Talk with your child; spend some quiet time together.
  • Enjoy learning about what your child is doing each day.
  • Let your child know how you use math in daily life...putting gallons of gas in the car, writing out checks for the monthly bills, counting out money, programming the VCR, keeping track of time, checking the temperature, making out an order and adding up the items, etc.
  • Read a good book on parenting skills.
  • Make sure your child has a warm family or friend's connection.
  • Give your child responsibility and follow through to see that the job is done.
Tips for Working with Your Child in Reading, from the Public Schools of North Carolina Department of Public Instruction:
Five Finger Rule of Thumb
Teach your child to use this method in selecting a book. After selecting a book, read the first two pages. Each time you come to a word that you cannot identify, raise one finger. If after reading the first two pages you have raised more than five fingers, this MAY indicate that the book is too difficult. At this point, decide if you want to take the challenge with this book or if you want to select another book.
