Unit 2 English around the world Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Teachers and parents usually call attention to the pictures when they read storybooks to pre-school children.But a new study suggests that calling attention to the words and letters on the page may lead to better readers. The two-year study compared children who were read in this way in class with children who were not.Those whose teachers most often discussed the print showed clearly higher skills in reading，spelling and understanding.These results were found one year and even two years later. Shayne Piasta，an assistant professor of teaching and learning at Ohio State University，was an author of the study.She says most pre-school teachers would find this method manageable and would need only a small change in the way they teach.They already read storybooks in class.The only difference would be increased attention to the printed text.“If you get children to pay attention to letters and words，it makes sense that they will do better at word recognition and spelling.”But she says research suggests that very few parents and teachers do this in a systematic way. More than 300 children aged four and five were observed in classrooms.They came from poor families and were below average in their language skills.For thirty weeks，the children took part in a program called Project STAR—Sit Together and Read.The project is based at Ohio State.It tests the short-term and long-term results of reading regularly to pre-school children in their classrooms. There are different ways that adults can talk to children about print.They can point to a letter and discuss it，and even trace the shape with a finger.They can point out a word and discuss the meaning of the print or how the words tell the story.And they can talk about the organization of the print－for instance【文章大意】　给学龄前儿童读书时很多老师和父母关注的是图画但研究表明此时教孩子关注图片旁的单词更有利于培养孩子的拼写、阅读和理解的技能而且老师只需稍微调整教学方式就能做到。ention is paid to the pictures，with words and letters being ignored.
