It is a known fact that there’s a rising literacy crisis in today’s schools, as children’s reading skills continue to decline. Recent statistics presented by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) on children’s reading progress in the United States revealed that only 66% of the nation’s students in the 4th Grade met or exceeded the lowest of three standards measured.
It was the urgency in these and other previous statistical results, coupled with the belief that literacy is the cornerstone on which all of education is built, that Dr. Needlman co-founded the reading program. Like many other educators, Dr. Needlman believes that in order for children to be successful reading must begin early.
According to the founder, children with reading difficulties don’t have problems just in reading, but will also manifest problems related to vocabulary, spelling, and comprehension skills. These problems could further affect other subject areas as the child won’t be able to read or understand the textbooks used for them.
Since most schools lack the capacity to provide the one-on-one attention needed by each child, Dr. Needlman encourages parents and guardians to look for warning signs of illiteracy in their children. These signs include anxiety about reading, lack of confidence, difficulty sounding out words or lack of fluency when reading aloud, and struggle with focus.
Upon detecting these signs early, parents will be able to work with their children to improve the problem areas. Additionally, parents’ fears of their struggling readers falling behind in their academics, missing out or failure in life, or disliking school will be alleviated as actions are taken to correct the problem.
One of the tips given by Dr. Needlman on encouraging early literacy skills in one’s child is that of reading aloud to them. This, he says, helps connect to some of the very most important parts of children’s development such as emotional, language, and literacy.
Other benefits of introducing reading to children from the toddler stage are improved comprehension, academic success and confidence, and reading achievement. The Pre-K and Kindergartners will also have an early mastery and fluency in reading, giving them an advantage over their peers.
Dr. Needlman believes that reading and books are the keys to education. Mastering reading skills at an early age, he notes, is the key to success.
