Are you looking for a concrete way to help parents provide rich literacy experiences at home? This easy-to-read, richly illustrated booklet shows parents how they can help their children (birth-5) gain the language and literacy knowledge necessary to become readers and writers.
This book uses the everyday routines that all parents do with their children--bathing and dressing, feeding, shopping, household chores, etc.--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 workbooks, special games, or other gimmicks, parents learn about the value of talking, singing, and reading to their child every day. The book includes recommended reading lists for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers.
This booklet is sold in sets of 10 so providers can distribute them to their clients.
