Why reading on grade level is critical Do you know if your child is read- ing at grade level? A study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation entitled "Early Warning! Why Reading by the end of Third Grade Matters" found that a child who can't read on grade level by third grade is four times less likely to graduate from high school by age 19 than a child who is reading on grade level. Donald J. Hernandez, author of the study explains, "We teach reading for the first three grades and then after that children are not so much learning to read but using their reading skills to learn other top- ics. In that sense, if you haven't suc- ceeded by third grade, it's more diffi- cult to catch up than it would have been if you started before then." So in other words, first you learn to read, and then you need to read to learn. According to the report, several factors contribute to low reading profi- ciency. Children must be ready to suc- ceed when they get to school (cogni- tively, socially, emotionally and physi- cally) before they can learn there. They need to be present at school because they can't learn if they aren't there. They need to have high quality learning opportunities, begin- ning at birth and continuing in school and during out-of-school time, including summers, in order to sustain learning gains and not lose ground. If you're not sure if your child is reading at grade level, make an appointment to visit your child's teacher. There is a lot that can be done to catch up and parents can play a criti- cal role. Read with your child every day. This can mean having your child read to you and you reading aloud to your child (at any age). Show interest in what they're reading by asking questions along the way. "What's happened so far?" "Who's your favorite character?" "How did the book end?" To improve their ability to read smoothly and easily, read books more than once until words become familiar. And find books that relate to their favorite topics like ani- mals, sports, hobbies and places.

Wanted: Hunter Education instructors The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is cur- rently seeking qualified hunter education volunteer instructors for its 2012 statewide education courses. "There's a long legacy of hunting in this great state," said DFG Director Charlton H. Bonham. "At the department, we're going to continue to seek ways to manage our resources for hunting and fishing as well as improve access and opportunity. But we need help in cultivating the next generation of sportsmen and sports- women who will step in our shoes once we have gone. We thank those that already volunteer to teach our hunter education courses, and we're looking to recruit even more." In 2009, approximately 30,000 students completed the state's 10-hour minimum hunter education course. The courses are offered throughout the state, on week- ends and weekday evenings. The courses are taught by veteran hunters who volunteer their time to help ensure that the newest generation of hunters has a thorough Police reports The following infor- mation is compiled from Red Bluff Police Depart- ment, Tehama County Sheriff's Department, Corning Police Depart- ment and California Highway Patrol.
