Review

Everyone can read with young children like a pro and this book will show to the easy steps. This simple, fun approach really can make reading the amazing experience every family wants it to be. -- Jeff Conyers, President, The Dollywood FoundationEqually valuable for parents and teachers, Read With Me lays out a set of very clear daily practices (ABC's of Active Reading) for creating not just young readers, but joyful, engaged, life-long learners. The authors translate the research science of literacy into clear explanations and practical examples of the Why, How, What, and even the Where of reading with young children. Most importantly, Read With Me emphasizes what we know to be most important in supporting a young child's brain development and learning: caring interactions and relationships between a child and loving adult. -- Kathleen Gallagher, Ph.D., Director of Research and Evaluation, Buffett Early Childhood Institute, University of NebraskaThis immensely practical book will make every teacher, parent, and caregiver want to put the ABCs of active reading into action. Read With Me: Engaging Your Young Child in Active Reading is brimming with evidence-based activities for making reading engaging and effective. As a scholar of literacy and a father of three young children, I know active reading works. I hope the ABCs of active reading – asking questions, building vocabulary, and connecting ideas to children's worlds – will be put into practice in schools, homes, libraries, and community centers across the country. -- James Kim, Professor of Education, Harvard Graduate School of EducationRead With Me: Engaging Your Young Child in Active Reading is a powerful compilation of tools to help the children in your world develop a lifelong love of reading.  This indispensable book both beautifully captures the undeniable importance of introducing books and reading early in life and skillfully explains how to lay the foundation for reading success.  Read With Me is a must-read for every parent, grandparent, teacher, or caregiver. -- Jonah Edelman, Chief Executive Officer, Stand for Children
