Not Only for Parents, But Educators as Well,
This review is from: Ready for Reading: A Handbook for Parents of Preschoolers (Paperback)
I stumbled upon this book while looking for information on dyslexia. As a speech/language pathologist, I work with pre-schoolers and primary grade students with language difficulties, speech disorders and phonological disorders. This book has become a wonderful guide for my clients' parents. The authors have cleverly laid out a fun and inventive handbook for reading to any child. Each "Book Share" has valuable information to help make the reading process fun as well as valuable for various language processes and pre-reading skills without being "work". If you are an educator as I am, you probably have these books as I do already. I read a lot of these to my children when they were young... Whether a parent or educator these books are timeless. I still get warm fuzzies... You will not be diappointed. I credit these authors with a well thought out format.

Highly recommended and invaluable for concerned parents,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ready for Reading: A Handbook for Parents of Preschoolers (Paperback)
In Ready For Reading: A Handbook For Parents Of Preschoolers, Ashley Bishop, Ruth Helen Yopp, and Hallie Kay Yopp collaborate to provide clear, concise information about how preschool children learn to read and how parents can substantially contribute to their child's ability to read with competence and enjoyment. Ready For Reading is enhanced with sixty engaging and "kid-tested" book-sharing activities, recommendations for more than 400 books and 400 poems for early readers; as well as convenient end-of-book indexes to help parents quickly and easily locate the sharing activity best suited to their child's situation and interests. Ready For Reading is highly recommended and invaluable for concerned parents wanting to insure their child's academic readiness for school through preschool reading readiness and learning activities, skills, and abilities.

Excellent Resource for Parents,
By Wendy Somerlot Bittel (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ready for Reading: A Handbook for Parents of Preschoolers (Paperback)
This book defined some of the mechanics that help children learn to read. I found it useful in providing me with some basic knowledge that will help me make reading time with my kids more meaningful and beneficial for them. The second half of the book provides 60 book recommendations for preschoolers along with activities to provide the child an opportunity to relate the story to real life. The examples in book provided me insight my child's perspective on learning to read. I would recommend this book to anyone with a preschooler.
