fied School Psychologist"Following Ms. Gilpatrick's advice will place your child well on the road to becoming an enthusiastic, life-long reader!" -- Wanda J. Miller, author, reading teacher Product Description "Reading With Children" describes detailed tools on how parents can help their children realize their full reading potential. Avoiding educational jargon, these specific techniques are written in language that parents can understand. Topics include preparing a child to read, beginning readers, decoding, associating words with pictures, comprehension, vocabulary and motivation. Many of the ideas are informal suggestions parents can do with children in the car, on the way to the sitters, or while making dinner. An emphasis is placed on making the whole process fun and not work. About the Author Leslie Gilpatrick has taught first and fourth grade in New York State for the past fifteen years.
