What kind of teacher would have children reading about euthanizing an infant in 7th grade. Poynette WI does? The teachers here have 7th and 8th graders reading books that is very descriptive about like the above. That book tells how a boy watches his father inject the needle into the infants forehead because the veins in the arms are to small and how the baby jerks and cries and then lays still stares off with glassy eyes and watches his father dispose of the baby. Another book describes dog weaseling, pig copulation and slaughtering a pet pig, all very descriptive. My son and I cried. Why would teachers force this stuff on kids and then wear a catholic necklace? These books won awards in 1972 and 73 but wasn't smoking at 16 legal, drinking at 18 and marijuana and LSD and sex with anyone was ok. But 30 some years later teachers still have kids reading these books even though they are #14 and #17 on the top 100 challenged books that should be banned. What could a teacher be thinking? Is it no wonder kids are mixed up these days when reading like this is supported by a school
How can we encourage our children to learn to enjoy reading? As a college teacher, sadly, I see many high school graduates pass my way who have great difficulty reading any book, text or otherwise. They often show a great distain for reading. This includes material presented on-line. I have seen how the love for reading developed early in childhood carries over to make a person an effective reader of material necessary to function and perform adequately in our modern society. I also know that it takes time and practice to become an effective reader, thus, the time and conditions necessary to integrate readership into ones life involve more than just the time spent and text material supplied in school. As parents, what techniques have you used at home to encourage and continue to encourage your children to develop a love for reading?
What sorts of books are primary age children reading at the moment? I mean other than Harry Potter?
Let Children read whatever they want within their age group and/or reading level. Yes or no and why? Having grown up in a household full of books where I was basically allowed to read anything I could read and was interested in (Julius Caesar at age 9, Jane Eyre and Gone With The Wind at age 12), I'm wondering what other people think about this. Did you have your reading restricted as a child? Do you restrict your children's reading? If so/ or not, why do you?
What is the best age to begin reading the Harry Potter books to my children? I have two children. One is five and one is three months old. The oldest has had to deal with the death of his maternal grandfather, his paternal grandmother, his maternal great-grandmother, and his paternal great-grandfather. He is scared sometimes at night and has a very sensitive heart-- he's very disturbed by the violence of others. I am wondering when to introduce the kids to the books, since they will all be out before they begin reading any of them. How to pace them, when to start. When will it mean the most, since there is no longer any waiting between releases. I have not read any of the books in the series myself.
Where can I find quotes on the importance of reading to children? I have to write a paragraph with two quotes. I have one and I now need another.
I need to find a Phonics reading program for use with EBD children any recommendations? I teach children excluded from school and many have very poor reading skills.

I would like to start doing volunteer work for tutoring children on their reading...where would I start? Would this volunteer work be through a church or at the school? And how long does one usually tutor for, an hour?
What age did you start reading to your children? I started to read to my daughter at about 4 months but have recently stopped because she really is NOT interested and if she does sit still long enough to acknowledge what i am doing she just want to attack and eat the book (she has recently become mobile). She is a wiggle worm and just does not sit still or like to be held for any longer than 2 mins.....so now i feel guilty for not reading to her more, my health nurse says it is a MUST do task to increase their vocabulary...what do you think???
do children read books nowadays?how can we make them discover the pleasure of reading? i mean, nowadays you see children and teenagers in front of a tv, conputer or always on the phone, but never holding a book in theyr hands.how is it possible?! how can we make it better? we must protect them from obscene "materials" and other harmful things... any ideeas?
Children at school. Do they read enough. What do you think of the importance of reading.? We are a family of readers. While on holiday we bought a second hand book and gave it to one of the children to read. After reading the book the child decided that that was the career to follow. That book is on my bedside table and when I see it, it brings back good memories. Do not underestimate the power of reading.
According to Hofferth (assigned reading on Welfare Reform), why are mothers with children under the age of thr According to Hofferth (assigned reading on Welfare Reform), why are mothers with children under the age of three at a higher risk of returning to welfare?

How much time does your child spend reading? I'm interested in how much 'time' parents with grade school children have their children read each day. We homeschool and we are using curriculum that has 'readers' for several subjects. How much reading do you do not counting any 'readers'? What types of books are you using? My son is 7 y/o and doing 2nd grade work for the most part.

how to engaged parents in reading with their young children? I am a parent of a 4 year old boy, but he does not want to let me read to him. So how do I get him engaged in reading with me.
What can we do to encourage more children to read? Books come in all shape and sizes. They come in fantasies and realities. We can learn from them. We develop our comprehesion skills and speed in reading. It's a wonder why less children read but since the development of the internet I guess, they realize how simple and much fun they will get from the internet. Most information found in the internet are usually coming from books, so why do they bother with the internet when there are books. I guess it's more cheaper, but the rewards of simply reading is something hard to explain
Where can I find websites about methods of teaching children to read? I need websites about the best methods to teach children reading. Here's the catch: they cannot have a bias, such as religious or political to the point where it affects their opinion... and they must be credible sources. I need them for a research paper. The hard part is acquiring non-biased, non-chatroom and blog discussions of Phonetics, phonics, etc. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
How rewarding is reading bedtime stories to children? I am not doing it, although I love it. I am lying here listening to a mother quietly read to her daughter. It is beautiful. The little giggles, the silly little questions. How precious is that?

If there are any teachers out there and you understand what I am looking for, please help me thank you.

This Lil Piggy asks: Is the Bible appropriate for reading by children? If you cop oput and answer, "Rightly divide the word of God blah blah" or "Some of it isn't meant for Chilldren Blah Blah" then I submit to you that: If it isn't 100% "fit for children to read" then why should it be considered a "moral guide post"? Poppy, Tuberoot is right up there with Fireball in that I have anyone who posts answers "REPORTED" I have blocked...

In a program to teach/help children with reading but? am already facing problems. Instead of having one child I have three, two seven year olds and one who is nine. They are not like children I have had contact with before, apparently they are allowed to watch family guy and south park. I had to listen to a long recap of a south park that I believe dealt with a homosexual sex act that was re-enacted for me. The nine year old is testing me and a bully over the two younger ones. She says what I consider inappropriate things ( swear words and recaps of south park for example ) I let everything slide the first day but I realize I need to get a handle on the situation before it just gets worse. I was thinking I saying something in the lines of " I do not appreciate talk/stories like that and while here with me please do not talk about adult matters or use vulgar language, if you continue too we wont be able to play the game I have planned at the end of our lesson" They are for a better word "rough" kids. How should I handle them pleas

Richard Dawkins says children should grow up reading the Bible. Are you surprised? Ruth Gledhill interviewed Dawkins at his North Oxford home and wrote in her article: "Richard Dawkins believes that children should grow up reading the Bible and has a "soft spot" for the Church of England. He also believes some of the historic atrocities of human behaviour were not inspired by religion, but were a result of our "ruthless Darwinian past". And he believes in the possibility of a transcendent "intelligence" existing beyond the range of present human experience. It is just that he refuses to call it God. These are just some of the more surprising confessions to come from the man variously described as Britain's angriest atheist and the self-appointed Devil's chaplain.” http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5995 I'm surprised, particularly by his transcendent "intelligence" that is not God. Is anybody else surprised by this? EvolvedK: You're way too defensive and rather unfair. I provided the entire article. Did you want me to cut and paste a 15,000 word article, just to ask a question?
activities for children in reading!!? any ideas?
Do you think more children are reading harry potter than the bible? Satan shooting up the sales charts, look out god.
What percentage of children have become atheists after reading "The Golden Compass"? I assume the percentage must be greater than zero for some people to start an uproar, so I'm wondering what percentage of children have become atheists after reading the book (or seeing the movie). Dude: You're right that the percentage would need to be greater than the percentage of naturally occurring atheists by a statistically significant amount. You're also right about needing to prove causation. I think before we take those steps though, we need to determine what the percentage of children who convert to atheism is (because without that we can't do the other things). Edward J: There's a difference between indoctrinating children and letting them watch a movie. I don't think Narnia indoctrinates children, just like I don't think the Golden compass does.
