The U.S. National Parks service has come up with an excellent learning tool for parents and children called WebRangers. It’s a great way to teach children to read, think green, and learn about nature; other categories include history, animals, parks, puzzles, science, and people. It was fun doing the games and learning at the same time.

Children get a free membership card, WebRanger Station office, and rewards points as they learn and have fun.
Starts at Home is pleased to be a member of Webranger.
“Dr. Titzer says the current practice of starting to teach reading skills in school is too late and children benefit greatly from getting a much earlier start since a child basically has only one natural window for learning language — from about birth to about age four. During this period it is easier for a child to learn any type of language including spoken, receptive, foreign and written language. The earlier the child is taught to read the better they will read and the more likely they will enjoy it.”
Studies prove that the earlier a child learns to read, the better they perform in school and later in life. Early readers have more self-esteem and are more likely to stay in school. Meanwhile, a national panel of reading specialists and educators determined that most of the nation’s reading problems could be eliminated if children began reading earlier.
Maybe the correct question is…Why should a parent delay teaching a child to read when the most natural time to learn language is during the infant and toddler years?

Parent’s love sacrifices for children to get through the toughest of times. Long suffering builds character yours and the children’s, so “hang in” there because the future holds much hope and joy.
We are thankful to those who encourage parents and children that help build positive parenting in our communities.
