A
I'm
Kathy
Schaefer,
and
this
is
parents
corner
on
a
CPS
TV
each
month.
We
talk
about
a
topic
of
interest
to
parents
like
us
this
month
and
to
celebrate
national
children's
book
week.
We
focus
on
fostering
readers
and
writers.
It's
only
logical
that
in
today's
technology
age,
more
and
more
of
our
curriculum
is
focused
there.
That's
great,
but
good
old-fashioned.
Reading
and
writing
skills
are
still
paramount
for
our
students.
In
fact,
studies
show
that
voluntary,
independent
reading
or
the
reading
students
choose
to
do
on
their
own
time
equals
greater
academic
success.
A
B
The
elementary
reading
and
integrated
literacy
office,
which
is
our
new
title,
our
job,
is
to
write
the
curriculum
and
the
assessments
for
the
elementary
grades.
We
collaborate
with
kindergarten,
and
we
also
do
grades
one
through
five,
but
our
vision
is
to
provide
a
variety
of
literacy
opportunities
for
our
students
that
integrate
with
some
of
the
content
areas,
and
we
do
that
by
communicating
with
all
the
stakeholders,
all
the
content
offices
to
make
sure
that
the
content
is
relevant
and
developmentally
appropriate.
We
communicate
with
the
public
as
we're
doing
now.
B
We
talk
to
parents
to
reading
teachers,
to
principals
would
provide
resources
and
professional
development
at
the
school
level
for
our
leaders,
as
well
as
for
our
classroom
teachers.
We
evaluate
all
of
the
reading
materials
and
curriculums
that
we
purchase
as
well
as
write
the
new
curriculum,
and
we
advocate
for
all
the
things
that
are
good
for
our
kids.
As
far
as
literacy.
B
Students
that
read
become
functional
adults.
They
can
read
the
prescription
bottles,
they
can
fill
out
an
application
and
receive
a
job.
That's
a
little
bit
better
than
someone
that's
applying
for
a
job
that
doesn't
require
reading
skills.
I
mean
that's
something
I
think
we
all
talk
about
all
the
times.
The
job
market
is
very
limited
for
a
thats
unable
to
read
reading
develops
the
mine.
B
It
also
promotes
inquiry.
If
you
have
questions
and
you're
interested
in
a
particular
topic,
the
best
way
to
find
the
answers
to
your
questions
is
to
read,
and
that
makes
students
a
little
bit
more.
I'm
looking
for
a
really
good
word,
but
it
develops
a
better
self-esteem.
It
makes
them
in
charge
of
their
own
learning.
They're
excited
about
what
they're
learning
they're
excited
to
go
further
than
maybe
what
their
teacher
is
instructing
them
on,
and
it
also
just
makes
them
more
aware
of
the
things
that
they
need
to
know.
B
In
order
to
be
a
functional,
though,
there's
tons
of
research
out
there
that
students
that
read
spell
better
and
they
write
better,
there's
a
correlation
between
all
three
of
those.
There
was
a
research
study
done
recently
that
shows
that
students
that
have
trouble
reading
certain
words
when
they're,
given
a
passage
with
those
words
in
it
and
they
practice
reading
them.
They
automatically
learn
to
spell
those
words
better,
so
there
is
a
big
correlation
with
that.
B
The
biggest
correlation,
I
think,
is
students
that
read
have
better
oral
language
skills,
they're
able
to
articulate
their
ideas,
they're
able
to
articulate
what
they've
read
and
have
conversations
about
it
ask
questions.
These
are
all
the
things
that
we
take
for
granted
that
you
know
this
is
what
adults
do
as
you
learn
as
you
grow
older.
You
can
have
conversations
about
things
that
interest
you,
but
can
you
imagine
if
a
child
or
an
adult
is
unable
to
access
the
information
that
they
need
in
order
to
be
a
functional
adult?
B
B
A
B
Come
from
there's
research
that
indicates
that
the
minimum
is
20
minutes
a
night
and
I
constantly
tell
parents
as
a
classroom
teacher
as
well
as
when
I
was
a
reading
teacher
20
minutes
a
night
is
the
bare
minimum.
If
your
child's
having
trouble
with
reading
you
may
want
to
spend
a
little
bit
more
time
reading
with
them,
but
I
will
say
a
child
that
starts
reading
20
minutes
a
night
in
kindergarten.
B
B
So
can
you
imagine
if
you're
reading
or
reading
too
I'm
sure
reading
with
your
child
or
reading
in
in
utero,
you
know
I'm
sure
both
of
us
we've
read
to
our
babies
before
they
were
born
that
phonemic
awareness
that
children
get
from
that
early
reading
provide
provides
them
with
the
the
foundation
for
them
that
when
they
begin
kindergarten
they're
on
a
fast
track
to
reading
phonemic
awareness?
Is
you
know
something
like
Nursery,
Rhymes
and
fingerplays
and
reading
the
signs
off
of
the
KFC
or
their
McDonald
signs?
B
Those
are
things
that
we
naturally
would
like
children
to
have
that
exposure
to
before
they
start
school.
It's
not
always
a
book
that
you're
reading.
It's
a
variety
of
things
out
there
that
they
can
read,
but
that
experience
of
20
minutes
a
night
at
the
bare
minimum
and
that's
them
reading
as
they
get
older
and
as
their
younger
you're
reading
to
them.
A
B
Remember
reading
some
things:
I,
probably
shouldn't
have
been
reading
growing
up
because
I
was
in
a
household
where
my
mother
did
read
and
she
was
reading
some
magazines
they
weren't
too
risque
but
I.
Remember
they
were
there.
It
was
reading
material
and
that's
how
I
started
then
of
course,
I
graduated
to
Nancy
Drew,
but
I
made
reading
the
back
of
the
cereal
box
I.
B
A
B
A
child
that's
having
trouble
reading
is
a
poor
reader,
not
always,
but
a
lot
of
times,
they're
having
trouble.
So
you
need
to
make
that
environment
a
little
bit
more
positive.
What
are
they
interested
in
little
boys
may
be
interested
in
a
particular
athlete.
That's.
You
know
some
particular
sport
that
they're
interested
as
well
as
girls,
doing
research
on
that
particular
athlete
doing
research
on
that
particular
sport
and
then
finding
books
that
are
aligned
with
their
interests,
and
you
can
read
with
them.
B
B
Now
that
you
can
go
and
find
news
articles
and
you
can
change
the
level
of
the
article
to
match
the
level
of
the
student
and
we
use
that
a
lot
in
in
our
social
studies
and
science
classes,
but
there
are
ways
to
find
their
interests
and
to
find
text
books,
articles
things
that
they're
interested
in
and
start
small.
You
don't
want
to
give
a
child
a
chapter
book,
you
know
start
with
something
small
short
stories.
Poems
actually
poetry
is
probably
the
least
is
something
that's
short
fast
and
it
builds
confidence
pretty
quickly.
B
B
B
This
year
we
have
implemented
a
full
force
in
K
through
second
grade
called
guided
reading,
so
about
an
hour.
Maybe
an
hour
and
15
minutes
depends
on
particular
classroom.
Teachers
are
teaching
students
directly
at
their
reading
level.
We
use
fonts
and
pinnell
benchmark
system,
which
is
an
assessment
tool
that
aligns
directly
with
instruction,
and
we
can
find
out
that
students
independent
level.
That
means
a
text
that
they
can
read
by
themselves.
We
can
find
their
instructional
level,
which
is
a
level
where
there's
a
little
bit
of
challenge.
B
That's
where
the
teacher
should
be
providing
support,
and
we
even
find
frustration
like
where
do
they
hit
that
wall?
Where
they're
unable
to
understand
what
they're
reading,
which
that
means
that's
a
read
aloud
or
a
book
that
they
read
with
someone
else
and
because
we
know
their
levels,
parents
have
requested
some
support.
So
we
have
these
brochures
where
there
are
actual
support
for,
depending
on
what
level
that
your
child
is
in.
B
Something
to
really
be
cognizant
of
is
that
each
level
has
different
characteristics,
for
example,
level
e,
which
is
typically
the
first
level
in
first
grade.
That's
when
contractions
are
introduced,
so
teachers
can
teach
that
at
level
e
to
prepare
that
child
to
be
able
to
read
that
text
a
little
bit
more
independently.
If
a.
A
B
The
through
the
guides,
but
there's
a
lot
of
different
there's
questions
that
you
can
ask,
there's
a
support
that
you
can
give,
because
a
lot
of
times
children
can
read
at
a
higher
level
than
they
comprehend.
This
benchmark
system
tells
us
exactly
which
level
they're
at
where
they're
comprehending,
as
well
as
being
able
to
word,
call
and
read
the
actual
text,
and
so
parents
may
find
that
those
levels
change
a
little
bit
from
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
But
it's
very
prescriptive.
It's
very
explicit
and
it's
moving
our
kids.
A
B
Can
make
that
available
each
spring
we
create
a
summer
reading
list
in
collaboration
with
the
library,
so
we
have
some
text
that
is
appropriate
for
that
particular
grade
level.
There
is
not
a
way
there
is
something
called
google,
you
can,
google
a
text
and
just
google.
What
is
the
reading
level
of
this
text
and
pretty
much
about
eighty
percent
of
the
books
will
come
up
and
tell
you
what
level
is
that?
So
parents
can
make
a
little
bit
more
informed
decisions
about
it.
B
A
The
summer
break
just
around
the
corner.
Reading
and
writing
don't
need
to
take
a
break
as
well
visit,
one
of
our
local
library
branches
to
join
their
Summer
Reading
Club,
which
kicks
off
in
late
May.
The
club
features
reading
lists
library
events
and
take
home
reading
logs
to
earn
free
prizes,
