did It was in the "reading cornet " of a ereative teacher’s classroom It was an inviting place for a child to cuil up with a good book She put it tlieie because she knew the importance of providing a comfortable place stocked with books that can inspire interest She also knew the importance of idmg a comfortable place stocked with books that can inspire a child’s interest She also knew the importance of promoting voluntary reading We teach youngsters to read as soon as they are teady because reading is portant Children who have early with books accumulate periences background knowledge an for books and an increased terest in learning to read They often begin to read early or learn to read more easily We hope children will become at readers by they will find reading enjoyable and read voluntarily Unfortunately many children become adults who do not enjoy reading It is estimated that 80 percent of the books read'in the United States are read by 10 percent of the population One survey found that half the adults sampled admitted they’d never read a book all the way through Patents can help their children develop good reading habits early in life Typically the kind of reader a person is going to be throughout life has been established by the sixth grade That’s why it’s important to read aloud to young children and set an example of reading skills in action Kids should see their parents reading often Parents should also be a source of support and and provide an enencouragement vironment rich with literary activities Opportunities to read books volunallow a child to pi act ice skills that tarily are taught at school Without the opportunity to do recreational reading in school and at home many children will not read enough to become competent in these skills Reading requires pracBut tice in order to do better remember practice must be easy enough to give the child a sense of success and enjoyable enough so the child will continue to read by choice Flying saucers and the easy diet by Dennis Ilinkamp think the chance that easy diets and m saucers exist is about Neither's existence has been conclusiveFrom time to time peoly disproved ple claim to have found both which leads to enough speculation to keep us wondering and looking for both A trip to the bookstore should provide conclusive proof that the easy diet does not exist If it did everyone would be using it and we wouldn’t see a new list diet book hitting the every month Almost without exception the diet list are books that make the not accepted by dieticians or others in the scientific community Some of the best sellers lately range from the humorous to the absurd "The Life Extension W'eight Loss Program" has it’s magic chant right on the cover It says “Lose fat without dieting or exercise!" The back cover has a picture of the two authors holding ice cream cones If you believe this one let me tell you about the little green men who landed in my back yard last week Another of the most recent is the "The Sun Sign Diet" which fits well with my flying saucer analogy The authors of this book have 12 diet plans individually designed for each sign of the zodiac They make such profound statements as “Aquarians are drawn to cheesecake and salty junk food” Hying (Aren't we all?) There is also "The Snowbird Diet” which has nothing to do with Utah’s famous ski resort It is titled after the nickname to northerners who flock to Scottsdale AZ during the winter The book is sort of a gourmet guide to diet cooking One diet book that has stayed on the list for several weeks is “Fit for ife” No matter how much bad press this one gets people seem to continue buying it Lauritzen Utah State Georgia University nutrition specialist says dietitians throughout the country have come out against “Fit for Life” She says the authors have come up with an unfounded theory of wrong food combinations being the cause of weight gain They make the claim that milk and dairy products are not good sources of calcium a claim that is also unfounded Lauritzen scientifically says Why do we keep buying these books? “Most people aren’t very interested in hearing dietitians talk about the four food groups and how you need to burn more calories than you consume” says USU dietitian Kathe Gabel People also aren’t interested in hearing that flying saucers are really weather balloons or swamp gas Next week’s column will look more closely at diets and athletic nutrition |
