Play That is More Than a Game
“ There is a significant literacy crisis in America today . Twenty-five million children in the U . S . cannot read proficiently ( based on an analysis of NAEP test scores ).” (
The Issue | RIF . org .) The English language , with 26 letters and 44 phonemes is considered a highly complex language to read , pronounce , and write . It is crucial that children have a strong foundation in phonemic awareness , segmenting , and decoding for reading success . If not , parents may encounter their children memorizing words while reading , eventually discovering they are ineffectual readers as early as second grade .
