Experts say that reading to your child is just as important a determining factor of IQ as taking vitamins or eating a healthy diet. But reading is about more than just a score on a standardized test. With Born Reading, you'll learn how to raise children who not only can read but who love to read... and who will take that love of reading with them into the future.
Publishing insider (and dad) Jason Boog has interviewed the experts—librarians, publishers, bestselling authors, brain scientists, and child psychologists, as well as app developers who are coming up with the next generation of reading tools—to show how parents can introduce a love of reading from an early age, and how cutting-edge technology can complement classic books to engage young readers in a whole new way.
With Born Reading, you'll learn how to:
- Use sign language to support reading during the first year of life.
- Access the library's surprising resources to excite young readers.
- Develop innovative homemade books that inspire creativity.
- Encourage your kid to read comic books to help develop critical skills.
- Coax even reluctant readers to spend time with a book.
