Preparation for learning to read is far more efficient and cost-effective than remediation. After more than 20 years of teaching beginning Grade One students who can barely recite the alphabet, three things are very clear. First, parents play a vital role in the preparation for Grade One while their children are in Kindergarten. Second, there is a strong need for a low-cost program that parents can use, at home, in a time-frame of half an hour or less. Third, it is essential that the materials develop skills that meet the teacher's expectations of what the children can say and do when they enter the Grade One classroom. \u003cb\u003eWhat Alphabet Knowledge Means\u003c\/b\u003e Research tells us consistently that knowledge of the alphabet is the single, best predictor of learning success. Year after year, research studies confirm that what happens in the first few years shapes the child's academic and social well-being later in life. Children considered prepared to learn by the time they start Grade One are usually set for a lifetime of academic success. Careful preparation and development of the skills needed is more efficient than remediation. Such preparation for learning is the driving force behind Annie Ape - 90 Days to Literacy. It is designed to help parents discover and understand what alphabet knowledge means and why it is so important for their Kindergarten children. \u003cb\u003eA Comprehensive Program\u003c\/b\u003e Annie Ape - 90 Days to Literacy is a powerful and comprehensive, alternate program. It establishes a climate for learning to read similar to the one in which the child learns to speak. Parents don't present formal speaking lessons to their infants and toddlers. Yet the child learns to speak in imitation of the speech that surrounds him. In the same way, and as much as possible, Annie presents the skills needed to learn to read in a natural environment so that learning to read can take place. It is such an understandable and comprehensive process that some children seem to be able to read spontaneously toward the end of the program. Others go on to learn to read in the classroom, seemingly with little effort. Annie Ape prepares the child so that reading can take place, naturally, when the child feels the need. \u003cb\u003eWho Can Use the Material\u003c\/b\u003e The activities in Annie Ape - 90 Days to Literacy are those that most parents \u003cb\u003eWOULD DO \u003c\/b\u003e, if only \u003cb\u003eTHEY KNEW.\u003c\/b\u003e Annie Ape was designed to help parents discover what constitutes knowledge of the alphabet, how to determine readiness for learning, and to help them attain that goal. There are no pre-requisite skills beyond a commitment of time from the parent to the child. Read through the overview from beginning to end, at least once. It is good to have a general idea of what information is going to be presented and how best to use it. The overview is important. If it appears a bit overwhelming, at first, it will sort itself out as the strategy is put to use. After a while, it will flow logically and efficiently. Don't be surprised if you discover additional ideas for the use of the material. Annie supports any and all Kindergarten programs. \u003cb\u003eTime Commitment\u003c\/b\u003e Annie Ape asks for a commitment of time from the parent to the child. The commitment is a daily 20-30 minute period, for 90 days. The outcome of those 45 hours is a greater knowledge and understanding of the child's learning strengths. Follow the suggestions given in this manual, spending no more than 20 to 30 minutes a day. There are no formalized reading lessons to present. The question strategy that you need to develop the knowledge required for proficient reading is prepared for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dr Paul a.
