Helping implement the federal Reading First initiative in Virginia, Dr. Abouzeid and her colleagues work with teachers and schools on research-based methods to match children’s instruction to their assessment. In addition to her university teaching and administrative work, Abouzeid works in school districts, with family literacy groups, and teaches individual children in the McGuffey reading clinic. In this talk, Dr. Abouzeid will offer some simple suggestions to parents and family members, based on research in the field of reading, on things they can do at home to help children with early literacy activities before entering kindergarten.
