Werner, Patricia Holden; Strother, JoAnna
Reading Teacher, v40 n6 p538-43 Feb 1987
Enumerates ways to help early readers without negatively affecting their development in other areas, such as: (l) providing an atmosphere rich in environment print and positive role models, (2) using encouragement rather than praise as a means of reinforcing their progress, (3) exhibiting respect for the child, (4) eliminating criticism and minimizing mistakes, and (5) avoiding "premature structuring."
