You can make the most of your child's natural curiosity. Teaching and learning happen when parents and children do things together.","description":"Foreword \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Why?\" \u003cbr\u003eThis is the question we parents are always trying to answer. It's good that children ask questions: that's the best way to learn. All children have two wonderful resources for learning--imagination and curiosity. As a parent, you can awaken your children to the joy of learning by encouraging their imagination and curiosity. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHelping Your Child Learn to Read is one in a series of books on different education topics intended to help you make the most of your child's natural curiosity. Teaching and learning are not mysteries that can only happen in school. They also happen when parents and children do simple things together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor instance, you and your child can: sort the socks on laundry day-sorting is a major function in math and science; cook a meal together-cooking involves not only math and science but good health as well; tell and read each other \u003cbr\u003estories--storytelling is the basis for reading and writing (and a story about the past is also history); or play a game of hopscotch together playing physical games will help your child learn to count and start on a road to lifelong fitness. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy doing things together, you will show that learning is fun and important. You will be encouraging your child to study, learn, and stay in school. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of the books in this series tie in with the National Education Goals set by the President and the Governors, The goals state that, by the year 2000: every child will start school ready to learn; at least 90 percent of all students will graduate from high school; each American student will leave the 4th, 8th, and 12th grades demonstrating competence in core subjects; U.S. students will be first in the world in math and science achievement; every American adult will be literate, will have the skills necessary to compete in a global economy, and will be able to exercise the rights and responsibilities of citizenship; and American schools will be liberated from drugs and violence so they can focus on learning. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a way for you to help meet these goals. It will give you a short rundown on facts, but the biggest part of the book is made up of simple, fun activities for you and your child to do together. Your child may even beg you to do them. At the end of the book is a list of resources, so you can continue the fun. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet's get started. We invite you to find an activity in this book and try it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003eThe Basics \u003cbr\u003eStart Young and Stay with It \u003cbr\u003eAdvertise the Joy of Reading! \u003cbr\u003eRemember When You Were Very Young Home Is Where the Heart Is \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant Things To Know \u003cbr\u003eIt's Part of Life \u003cbr\u003eOne More Time\u003cbr\u003eTalking about Stories The More the Merrier How Do I Use This Book?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRead Along \u003cbr\u003eLook for Books Books and Babies \u003cbr\u003eR and R: Repetition and Rhyme Poetry in Motion \u003cbr\u003eRead to Me \u003cbr\u003eFamily Reading Time\u003cbr\u003eStory Talk \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWrite and Talk, Too \u003cbr\u003eTot Talk \u003cbr\u003eWhat's in a Name?\u003cbr\u003eWorld of Words \u003cbr\u003eBook Nooks \u003cbr\u003eFamily Stories \u003cbr\u003eNow Hear This \u003cbr\u003eP.S.

As a parent, you can begin an endless learning chain: You read to your children, they develop a love of stories and poems, they want to read on their own, they practice reading, and finally they read for their own information or pleasure. They become readers, and their world is forever expanded and enriched. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book focuses primarily on what you can do to help children up to 10 years of age. During these years you can lay the foundation for your child to become a lifelong reader. In the first section, you will find some basic information about reading to your child. This is followed by suggestions that guide you to \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* read with your child and make this all-important time together enjoyable; \u003cbr\u003e* stimulate your child's interest in reading and language; and \u003cbr\u003e* learn about your child's school reading programs and find ways to help. \u003cbr\u003eWhile most of the book is for parents of children up to 10 years of age, there is a brief section for parents of older children on how to help them continue to grow as readers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinally, there is a resource section. As you make reading with your child a routine part of your lives, this section will help you to find new ideas and a variety of books you both might like. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou don't need to be an especially skillful reader yourself to help your child. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTO BE CONTINUED...Buy now and enjoy the content in full!","brand":"S.H.W.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47179551342832,"sku":"2940013002685","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013002685_p0.jpg?v=1763575442","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013002685","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
