Análisis de diario de la biblioteca
Teacher, parenting educator, and novelist Newman (Disturbing the Peace) offers an update to the reading literature with considerations for today's classroom and the use of technology. Aimed at parents with the youngest of children, tips include frequent talking with toddlers, reading aloud, and making reading a fun, family-oriented experience. While there's no silver bullet here, the author's enthusiastic philosophy is worth every parent's consideration: "Reading difficulties can cause an avalanche of emotional and academic complications that are costly in a multitude of ways. It will be infinitely less time consuming to help your young child get on the right track in reading in the first place than it will be to help her get back on track if she falls off the academic rails in the upper grades." VERDICT While the subject literature has not changed much over the years, it is still widely accepted that reading is the greatest indicator of future academic success.
