Description
Written by an award-winning Australian author, Jackie French says, “Reading is the most vital skill we learn at school." Instead of assuming some kids cannot catch up or boost their reading skills, she realizes kids learn differently and addresses these issues by giving lots of practical advice to create strong readers. She gives suggestions for teaching children of all ages, but also conveys how to teach with various learning styles or other challenging problems. Book suggestions are given along with guidance on helping kids improve basic language arts skills (reading, handwriting, spelling, and composition). Although directed toward parents who have children in school, there are plenty of helpful tools to strengthen reading skills in your children. Note: When discussing teenagers, the author stresses to look for books that interest teens and mentions finding a sex manual that talks about sex sensibly. 312 pgs, pb.
