Parents must help us help their own learn to read. I am urging mothers and fathers to read to their children. I am often surprised by parents who have not been reading simply because they don't know they should. Others tell me they don't have materials at home. My desire is that you, as parents, will agree to work with each of your children daily." E. Neal Roberts Superintendent, San Bernardino City Unified School District. "I am convinced that the best support we can offer an individual is to assist in reading skills and encourage a love of reading. It is our desire to make reading a personal goal for the entire city." Judy D. White Assistant Superintendent, San Bernardino City Unified School District 01 n e. INTRODUCTION This guide is a resource for reading programs and services within the San Bernardino/Highland area. Please note that there will be ,a variety of organizations featured. Although the organization has multifaceted services, we will only focus on their reading programs. The guide has four major sections: 1) Community Reading Resources - includes libraries, churches, community organizations, and businesses in the local area. 2) State and National Literacy Resources - included here because they may know of local reading programs that we did not have knowledge of at the time of publication. 3) School Reading Resources and Programs - discusses what is presently offered at the schools throughout the San Bernardino / Highland area. It must be noted that programs offered at each school site are only for students registered at that school. As you can see from the list, there are several other sources where one can get assistance for reading challenges. 4) Special Needs Reading Resources - for children who need accelerated and additional reading assistance to maintain age and grade level competence. These programs may be within public schools or other community organizations. There are Voluntary Magnet Programs within the school system which are described fully in a booklet called OPTIONS. Some children may be eligible for these magnet programs. OPTIONS booklets are available at all elementary schools and libraries. Ask yourself: Does your child have trouble with: 1) understanding what they read 2) sequencing numbers 3) delays in their speech 4) separating which is which: • right and left • up and down • early and late • yesterday and tomorrow • months and days These are just a sample of characteristics that defines dyslexia, a learning difficulty that affects about 15% of the population.

The word dyslexia is derived from Greek: dys (poor or inadequate); and lexis (words). The English meaning is poor or inadequate language. Dyslexia is characterized by problems in expressive or receptive, oral or written language. Problems may emerge in reading, spelling, writing, speaking, or listening. Dyslexia is not a disease; it has no cure. Dyslexia describes a different kind of mind -often gifted and productive -that learns differently. Intelligence is not the problem. Dyslexics may have average to superior intelligence. An unexpected gap exists between their learning aptitude and their achievement in school. The problem is not behavioral. It is not psychological. It is not social. It is not a problem of vision; dyslexics do not"see backward". Dyslexia results from differences in the structure and the function of the brain. Dyslexics are unique. Each has individual strengths and weaknesses. Many dyslexics are creative and have unusual talent in areas such as art, athletics, architecture, graphics, electronics, mechanics, drama, music, or engineering. Dyslexics often show special talent in areas that require visual, spatial, and motor integration. Their problems in language processing distinguish them as a group. This means that the dyslexic has problems translating language to thought (as in listening or reading) or in translating thought to language (as in writing or speaking). The International Dyslexia Association states that characteristics accompanying dyslexia are: • Lack of awareness of sounds in words - sound order, rhymes, or sequence of syllables • Difficulty decoding words - single word identification • Difficulty encoding words -spelling • Poor sequencing of numbers, of letters in words, when read or written, e.g.; b-d; sing- sign; left-left; soiled-solid; 12-21 • Problems with reading comprehension • Difficulty expressing thoughts in written form • Delayed spoken language • Imprecise or incomplete interpretation of language that is heard • Difficulty in expressing thoughts orally • Confusion about directions in space or time (right and left, up and down, early and late, yesterday and tomorrow, months and days) • Confusion about right or left handedness • Similar problems among relatives • Difficulty with handwriting • Difficulty in mathematics - often related to sequencing of steps or directionality or to the language of mathematics e) 76 y Appendix B (Definitions) ADD -Attention Deficit Disorder-a neurobiological disability characterized by attention skills that are developmentally inappropriate accompanied by impulsiveness. Approximately 3 to 5% of all American children are affected by it. It is a leading cause of school failure and under- achievement. Diagnosing ADD requires a multi-faceted evaluation examining medical, psychological and educational functioning. ADHD -Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-the ADD disorder combined with a tendency to be physically overactive. America Reads -college students act as tutors by reading with elementary students Book Fairs - Fundraisers performed by an outside vendor such as Scholastic. The vendors bring in books and material. It is usually run by district personnel at a school site. Cross Age Tutoring -This is a catch all phrase for higher grade students reading to lower grade students. There are several names used for this type of reading approach: • Reading Buddies • Dragon Readers -done at lunch time • "Keys to Reading" • Penguin Reading Club • Bulldog Buddies • Peer tutors • "OWL" (Oh, Wow We're Learning) Program Vanguard • Adopt a class e� 77 First Grade Parent Club - Sessions with parents, providing skills in reading and writing which can be used in the home environment to help the student. It is a great place to share ideas and learn strategies that will help make a first grader successful. Child care and incentives are generally provided for parents who attend. HILT- High Intensity Language Training for English Language development Off track Tutoring - Year round schools have 4 tracks (A, B, C, and D). They start at different times during the year, but all have the same number of teaching days in a calendar year. A given track will have 3 months in school, 1 month off, and so on until a full year has occurred. It is during these off track months that continued tutoring is so important to the continued success of some students. The tutoring is generally administered by trained volunteers. Rolling Readers -A volunteer children's literacy program. Volunteer tutors receive a 3 hour training session. The tutors are assigned to a participating school and a team of four tutors. Each tutor works with four students for fifteen minutes each, volunteering an hour a week. Each of the students receives four tutoring sessions per week. Tutors communicate with each other and teachers through observational notes in each child's folder. Tutors receive satisfaction and appreciation. 208,000 were served by this program in 1997. San Belt- San Bernardino Early Literacy Training. K-3 teachers are trained in the most recent balanced reading methods. SKAMP Camp -Supervised activities at the school sites until 5 PM. The school only provides the facilities. The program is usually run by the Department of Recreation. The activities are varied: board games, arts and crafts, outdoor play, assistance with homework, etc. SLD - Specific Learning Disability TLC -Technology Learning Center-a small group reading program. This type of lab services many at-risk students in reading. They are referred by teachers, parents, and the SST (Student Study Team) process. There is usually a maximum of eight students per group and the students are taught reading skills at a table. They also use computers. Pre and post tests are given, as well as a mid-year evaluation. 78 APPENDIX C IF YOUR CHILD HAS READING DIFFICULTIES: San Bernardino City Unified School District • Discuss the problem with your child's teacher • Request a Student Study Team (SST) meeting (see Appendix D for further information) • Inquire about school-based tutorial programs • Consider District "Options" (Magnet Programs at various schools) • Reading Labs • "Write to Read" • Contact your local school for a "Options" brochure Additional Public Resources • This "City of Readers" Resource Guide - study the Special Needs section in particular • Local Library • Reference Librarian • Books on tape • Adult Literacy Programs Private Educational Resources • Consult your local phone directory under "Tutoring", "Education", "Reading", etc. • Consult your local school for possible names of individuals who do tutoring.
