You, Yes You, Can Teach Someone To Read A Step By Step How-to Book

You, Yes YOU, Can Teach Someone to Read A Step by Step How-to Book In a print-saturated society, millions of so-called non-readers recognize stop, go, bank, bus. However, because they were never shown how to build a reading foundation on such simple words, they mistakenly believe that they cannot learn. Enthusiastic listening is crucial in working with hesitant readers. It creates safe space, accelerates learning, and begins to dispel self-defeating beliefs. Once they feel safe enough to talk about their real interests, many terms become sight words that allow them to continue to build on the known. Since we learn best what we teach, even relatively new readers can accelerate their own learning by helping their tutor-turned-mentor teach a child to read. Turning the reading dyad into a learning triad increases self-confidence and self-reliance all around, and everyone benefits. Should they decide to pass it on to another child, then or later, they could take the process one significant step further and start a geometric progression of learning: Each of You Teach Two! Such informal grassroots learning triads could begin to Turn the Community of Need into the Community of Service, enriching many lives in the process. This little book will show you how to start from scratch.
