Rating: - Parents Start Teaching Reading Now
A great book and resource for parents. It is so important to get children involved with books early on. No better way is to read to them and interact with them and at the same time teach them reading skills. One of the best books that I know of is a delightful story of a caterpillar who goes to school in Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Success. Most importantly there is a 10 page reading guide for parents at the end of the book that is invaluable... a great opportunity to interact ... Read More
Rating: - Attention Parents and Educators (Yes, Even Educational Administration!)
Just like some things can only be learned through experience, some books cannot be summarized. They must be READ. Trelease's Read-Aloud Handbook is one such book. There is no short-cut.
This book is chock-full of "Wake up, America: We're killing our readers!" statistics and anecdotes. Parents and Educators of all levels need to read and, in the words of Kevin from Freak The Mighty (Scholastic Signature): "Be Amazed."
The gist is, nothing in education is more important ... Read More
Rating: - This is the book! What's more important than reading?!
This book is appropriate for every caring parent. I am a homeschooling mother of three and I can't recommend it highly enough. After reading the library's copy I had to buy my own copy, plus several for friends and family members who have kids. It is full of high-quality info and ideas about reading to children, and about them ultimately reading to themselves. There is also an organized and valuable "recommended books" list in the back. Wonderful!
Rating: - Great guidelines
Suggested by our daughter's teacher. Wish we could adhere to the guidelines regularly. The argument is sound and definitely gave us food for thought about how we teach our kids to relate to books and think about the written word. Recommended if you wish to share your passion with reading with your kids.
Rating: - Teaching Children To Read
I am a big advocate of teaching children reading early on by reading great stories and discussing them- this is the beginning of developing comprehension skillls and love for reading. Two pieces of children's literature with fabulous teaching guides for parents and or teachers written by two teachers are a must-have : Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail.The stories and messages are wonderful and the bonus reading guide is ...
