But a study published in 2013 suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers.The two-year study compared children who read this way in class with children whodid not. Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading, spelling and understanding.Shayne Piasta was an author of the study. She says most preschool teachers would find this method manageable and would need onlya small change in the way they teach. They already read storybooks in class. The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.Ms Piasta says if you get children to pay attention to letters and words, it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.More than 300 children aged four andfive were observed (观察) in classrooms in Ohio and Virginia. The children came from poor families and were below average in their language skills. This put them at risk for reading problems later.For 30 weeks, the children took part in a program called Project STAR for Sit Together And Read. The project is based at Ohio State.It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to preschool children in their classrooms.There are different ways that parents can talk to children about print.

The assignment (任务) was not graded, but he still expected them to do it.Michael had one requirement, the student had to write a paper answering how they used the money, how it affected the receiver and how it affected the student. He said that he would collect the reports and read them aloud at the end of the term. The semester came and went. Of the 64 students, only three completed the assignment. The teacher was disappointed.But some teenagers were not shocked by the students' behavior."I'm not surprised," said Ashley Reeves, 16. "It wasn't graded or anything, so most students probably thought it would just use up their time."Reeves said that if she had been given the money, she might have acted in the same way."I might have spent the money on myself," she said. "It's natural for our ownneeds to come first."Other teens such as Lindsey Freeland, a student at Davis High School had a different opinion on the matter.“I'm em b arrassed by the result,” shewrote. “If I were given this opportunity, Iwould have taken it as a challenge and usedthe money to help the com munity.”Nieshia Smith completed Johnson's assignment.
