This handbook is designed to help parents help their children learn to read and to deal successfully with school tasks. It contains suggested activities and games, many of which can be made at home. Suggestions are also given for how to make reading an easy, pleasant task instead of a difficult tiring one. Suggestions are offered for children of all grade levels, from preschool (readiness) through secondary. A special reference section lists children's books and periodicals, games to improve particular skills, books for younger children, and useful materials to save. This handbook might be helpful to reading and resource room teachers as well as to parents. A separate volume, the instructor's manual, provides PASS program goals and implementation strategies. (BP)
