Let’s Get Ready with Cedar Valley Publishing

This morning on her Parents and Children Reading Together blog, Cathy Miller has a handy list of literacy terms with family-friendly definitions. 

Some terms, like sight words, you may recognize, but others are a little more technical. That said, they are words you’re likely to hear during parent-teacher conferences and see when reading the results of standardized tests for reading. As you read Cathy’s list, it becomes clear that some words make the concepts sound harder than they are … try metacognition for example: thinking about how you think. C’mon.

Cathy is doing a radio show with award-winning author Stacey Kannenberg that will be available on the Get Ready to Learn Mom website. She’ll also be continuing her series about ways to help independent readers at Parents and Children Reading Together.

Disclosure notice: Cathy serves as a member of the Reading Tub Board of Directors. She offers counsel and is a sounding board for me in framing literacy programs, building outreach, and educating families about reading with kids.
