Evaluation comments:
“This book is educational for both parents and teachers.”
“I like how it discusses the problems with reading comprehension skills in children. Children preschool through college are having difficulty with reading skills. Working with university students myself (as interns in our preschool) I am definitely seeing their writing skills go downhill and this book explains why.”
“The book talks about how a child’s brain develops and how we are pushing children to read when they are not ready. It is okay and imperative that we let them learn at their own pace.”
“This book is straightforward, to the point and easy to read. The author is knowledgeable and she provides parents a path to successful reading comprehension for their children. Many educators, like myself, are concerned about the push for accelerated reading and writing too early, before children are developmentally ready. This book provides the research to better understand why it’s important to wait for your child to be developmentally ready.”
