SCIENCE OF READING: Many articles are coming out now about the ‘science of reading’ and how it should impact our curriculum selection and classroom instruction. This information isn’t new, but you many notice the phrase is becoming more prevalent in our field. The National Reading Panel was commissioned in 1997 with the task of evaluating existing research and evidence to determine the best way to teach children to read. They published their findings in April 2000 and identified the 5 essential components of reading. The MyIGIDI assessments that we administer to our students are aligned with those 5 components: Alphabetics-Phonemic Awareness & Phonics (Rhyming, Sound Identification, Alliteration), Comprehension-Vocabulary (Picture Naming, Which One Doesn’t Belong), and Fluency-the algorithm takes into consideration the speed of students responses to prompts. As we design instruction with our MyIGDI data in mind, know that you are using scientific research to provide students with a strong foundation for future reading success.

Kindergarten Teacher's Guide to Supporting Family Involvement in Foundational Reading Skills
Tina's NOTE: Great YouTube videos for use in parent workshops to demonstrate how Pre-K parents can engage their child in book discussion while reading together.
This Kindergarten Teacher's Guide provides information for kindergarten teachers on how to support families as they practice foundational reading skills at home. It serves as a companion to the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten Through 3rd Grade. Both guides present four research-based recommendations and how-to steps: the WWC guide is for teaching children at school, and this guide is to help teachers support families in practicing foundational reading skills at home.
The information in this Kindergarten Teacher's Guide is designed to assist teachers in supporting out-of-school literacy activities that are aligned to classroom instruction, informed by student need, grounded in evidence-based practices, and facilitated by ongoing parent-teacher communication. The Teacher's Guide provides a framework for literacy support activities presented during schools' family literacy nights and parent-teacher conferences. This Teacher's Guide includes:
Recommendation Reminders that provide a snapshot of each recommendation and how-to steps from the WWC guide.
Teacher Scaffolds that model the language teachers can use with families to describe a specific skill, why it is important in learning to read, and how to support that skill.
Family Resources that contain evidence-based literacy activities with easy-to-follow plans, and materials that teachers model and share with families.
Family Literacy Videos that show families engaging their child in activities related to the skills teachers modeled during family literacy nights or at parent-teacher conferences.
