Book Description
Noting that the task of increasing literacy around the world is far too massive for the schools alone to undertake, this book is intended as part of an effort to increase the role of parents and families in promoting the reading development of children. The six articles in the book discuss the following topics: (1) family contributions to reading attainment; (2) opportunities to use family resources for reading in the developing countries of Africa and of Southeast Asia; (3) family forces for preschool development of health, vocabulary, and perceptual skills; (4) family forces for early school development of language fluency and beginning reading; and (5) the role of families in curriculum planning and tutoring in reading and in developing cultural appreciation.

Book Description
The need to know why as well as how children and youth respond as they do to reading instruction has guided the selection of this book’s content. The second edition of this title, originally published in 1990, has retained and elaborated upon the three major themes previously presented: that reading is a linguistic process; that motivation, the affective domain, may be as important in learning to read as the cognitive domain; and that the reality of learning theory is to be found in the mechanisms of the brain where information is mediated and memory traces are stored. The text integrates views from cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics, and neuropsychology as they relate to reading and writing. A learning-motivation model is provided to present associative learning, conceptualization, and self-directed reading in a hierarchical relationship with distinct cognitive and affective components. The distinction between beginning and proficient reading is maintained throughout the text.

Book Description
The 12 articles in this monograph discuss the value of informal learning for children, and suggest how basic skills can be reinforced at school, home, and within community groups and institutions. Promising programs, practices, and activities for children are highlighted. Topics addressed include: (1) a rationale for a rededication to a holistic approach to learning for students, the value of informal learning, and criteria for determining the quality of nonschool settings; (2) the role of the public library in the educational process, services and materials available, and current innovative programs; (3) museum programs offering young patrons opportunities to participate in multisensory exhibits; (4) educational opportunities available through zoological parks (including a list of zoological parks in the United States and bibliography of books about zoos and zoo animals); (5) use of social contexts of school and work to extend children's learning, developmentally appropriate activities for stimulating children's interest in work, and the development of cooperative learning opportunities by schools and businesses; (6) the educational and developmental roles of community service organizations; (7) use of an oral history project to strengthen students' basic skills; (8) activities for students in rural and small towns that reinforce basic skills and nurture a sense of community pride; (9) youth participation programs enabling young adolescents to assume roles of responsible adults; (10) everyday experiences and inexpensive items that can be used to reinforce skills and convey to children a sense of love and well-being; (11) the development of concepts of time in family settings; and (12) the emergence of microcomputers as learning devices in home, museum, library, and other settings.
