Why Children Despise Reading Prior to starting public school, the idea of reading and writing is exciting to many young children. Being able to communicate grammatically as well as verbally with others is an important milestone in a young child’s life. Because of this, educators are pressed to make sure their students are not shorted in their English education. However, according to John Holt’s How Teachers Make Children Hate Reading, the present conventional methods of teaching English are hindering children from enjoying the experience of reading and writing. Today, children view school as a “place of danger”, and their main focus is to avoid danger as much as possible (Holt 360).

Chris Street wrote an original research article, “Expository Text and Middle School Students: Some Lessons Learned”, and tells us that middle school students face difficulty reading expository texts because they were not taught how to read in this fashion while in elementary school. While in elementary school, they read short novels and chapter books, whereas, in middle school they are expected to read content area text. According to this article, teachers can help their middle school students overcome reading deficiencies by developing a student’s former knowledge on a subject before reading it. Street provides very good strategies on how to engage students with expository text, which consists of: before reading, during reading, and after reading. Before reading strategies include developing

The book is broken down into five parts that take the reader through the reasoning behind his teaching and eventually to the tools that one can use to practice great listening skills. Part one of the books starts by talking about the importance of communication and some of the symptoms of the person that is not listening. Most of the time when we stop listening it’s because we have developed what Dr. Peterson calls the “Flat-brain” (p.10). This describes how emotions and one’s own thought process can get in the way of actually listening to another person. He goes on to describe different versions of the flat brain and the scenarios that being flat brained can cause.
I just want to start off by saying How to Talk so Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk, by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish is an amazing book. The title pretty much tells you what the book is about: How to effectively communicate with your child as a parent, or in my case as a future teacher. I began reading this book with high expectation, hoping I could pick up a few things on how to communicate with my students in future classrooms. In general, parents and adults think that authoritarian actions speak far louder than words because kids should behave the way their parents expect them to. However, I was surprised to discover that just a few twisting of the words and some changes in the language could do the trick, while saving/and or creating the parent-and-child relationship.
This is the third week of school, and Matt’s teacher has already talked to his mother about having him tested for special education because Matt’s teacher says that he is reading below his grade level. Karen is Matt’s mother, and she refuse to have him tested for special education because she believes that it is too early for him to be tested for special education. She said that this is one reason why she agreed to have me work with her son. Matt is not a very willing person at all he is very stubborn. I asked Matt if he could come and sit at the table with me, so that we could read together.
This is why I’m trying to find ways to help other before they dropout. Family need to do more with their children, like ask question talk with the teachers find things that would allow them to be a part of their life. The program needs to be one that would help a child before he or she start falling behind, we need to make a change today for the children of tomorrow. The state need to stop cutting back on after school programs that offer help with reading and writing they also need to set-up a program that offer free classes for parent’s so that they are able to help their children at home with homework . Also this system should have program which older children can help the younger children with their reading and writing, math etc.
