Book Review of Reading Right from the Start: What Parents Can Do in the First Five Years

Reading Right from the Start: What Parents Can Do in the First Five Years


Are you looking for concrete ways to help your children become readers and writers?

This easy-to-read, richly illustrated book uses the everyday routines that you do with your children, to demonstrate how to build vocabulary, learn about conversations, and discover meaning from the written word. Research shows that these are the key building blocks for future success as readers and writers.

Instead of relying on workbooks, special games, or other gimmicks, Reading right from the start shows you the value of talking, singing, and reading everyday to your child.

Included are lists of books to read with your babies, toddlers, or preschoolers.
