Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practises until he can play quickly, accurately, without thinking. Tennis players call that ”being in the zone.” Educators call it “automaticity”.

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois Schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary.

“It’s not I.Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity,” according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.

You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud—something unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expressions, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.

You surely want to have good table manners. It's as simple as obeying a few rules!

The 12 Do's:

(1) As soon as you are seated, open your napkin(餐巾) and place it on your lap.

The napkin keeps on your lap (except for use) until the end of the meal. If you need to leave the table for a while,

you may leave the napkin on your chair. When the meal is finished , place your napkin neatly at the left of your plate.

(2) Sit up straight, keep your elbows (手肘) off the table, and silence your cell phone.

(3) Remember the rule: drinks on the right, foods on the left. Your water glass is on the right of the plate and your bread plate is on the left.

(8) You may leave some food to one side of your plate if you feel you have had enough. Don't leave your plate so

clean that it looks as if you haven't eaten for days!

(9) If you are asked for the salt or pepper, pass both together.

(10) Eat soup by skimming ( 掠过 ) your spoon along the surface of the soup. Then eat it without making any noise. If the soup is hot, don't blow on it; simply wait for it to cool .

(11)When a lady arrives or leaves the table, it's polite for all gentlemen at the table to stand up.
