Description

This book consists of an easy-to-follow plan designed to guide and assist parents in nurturing and developing pre-reading/pre-literacy skills needed to learn how to read. Parents/caregivers begin their journey by examining and exploring why some children have difficulty learning to read. It is also noted the role they can play in preparing their children for the learning to read process at home. They are guided through the development of pre-reading milestones and behavior characteristics of young children. Additionally, parents/caregivers complete a self-assessment to determine their thoughts about learning which is important in setting up a creative and vibrant learning environment for their home. Before addressing the four components of the reading process, parents/caregivers are guided in setting the stage for learning to reading their home by establishing a print rich environment.
