A preschool clinical director in Middle Village, New York, Nadine Eiring has over 25 years of experience in the educational field. While serving as principal of Brooklyn’s Children’s Center for Early Learning, Nadine Eiring advocated for the Early Reading First program, which is designed to prepare children entering kindergarten for educational success.
To determine a child’s level of reading capability the Early Reading First program focuses on early language and cognitive skills along with pre-reading skills through screening assessments. The program helps reading comprehension by integrating scientifically based research. Success is measured through a series of goals that includes the demonstration of literacy activities in oral language, phonological awareness, print awareness, and alphabetic knowledge.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education, the goal of the Early Reading First program is to prepare students to be competent readers by the time they complete the third grade. The program was created as a result of the Presidents "Good Start, Grow Smart" initiative to help provide early education for children.
