■ At least 10+ tips should be presented that focus on several key areas of a targeted grade level or grade levels.

■ You should elaborate (BE SPECIFIC) on the tips so that any teacher could take this from your presentation and put the ideas into practice.

Quotes about beginning reading….■ "Children are made readers on the laps of their parents." — Emilie Buchwald■ "Reading should not be presented to children as a chore or duty. It should be offered to

them as a precious gift." — Kate DiCamillo■ “Reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity for

building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read.” ― Marilyn Jager Adams

■ The two best predictors of early reading success are alphabet recognition and phonemic awareness.-Marilyn Jager Adams
