Well, I'm a cognitive, developmental psychologist. I've taught in the classroom for over 30 years, and I've raised three of my own children! I've seen the struggle firsthand. I've watched my children (and possibly your children) succeed and fail with phonics, reading, reading comprehension, and learning. I've seen our collective children hurting and I've also seen them succeed beyond their wildest dreams. I have such a passion for watching them develop a love for reading and learning that I wanted to share it with you.I earned my PhD from Stony Brook University in 1994 and I have been teaching and raising children ever since! I have marveled at the educational successes and failures of my own three children (the last of whom is now off to university).I have also been teaching at my local community college for over 20 years, and while I have seen many of my students succeed, I have also watched some of them struggle badly with the printed word. These are clearly highly verbal students, but their reading comprehension skills sell them short in the classroom. Granted, textbooks aren't easy to read - they are often packed full of facts that develop concepts at a staggering pace - but how were these students prepared for college-level reading? What was their early childhood experience? Will your child be one of the success stories or will your child struggle with textbooks and comprehending the printed word? Remember, reading doesn't end with knowing your ABCs. That's just the beginning of the reading process.This book is about success! This book is about inspiring the greatest number of children to love reading and the comprehension process so that they can't wait to pick up a book or dive into a textbook (that might be a tad too optimistic, but you get the point...).Aside from my work in the classroom, I have given lectures around the country, published magazine articles, served as an "Ask the Expert" for Texas Family Magazine, edited books for McGraw Hill, worked as a consultant for Relay/GSE, and presented workshops and lectures for the "Distinguished Speaker Series" and the Child Care Councils of Suffolk and Nassau County, New York.vizualizați mai puține
