An excellent guide to early literacy
|
Such an interesting, well-written guide to early literacy. This book would be useful for every parent - but what a pity it isn't compulsory reading for every teacher!! The author is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and this knowledge is backed by well-documented experiences with his own two children. At last someone writes with sense about how children begin their journey to literacy in a way that isn't influenced by current fads and trends.
The book is very well-presented, is clearly laid-out and is beautifully illustrated. A book to keep on the bookshelf and 'dip into' but also easy to read at a sitting.

Although printed on the cover ' for every parent of children from birth to eleven years' it is a worthwhile read for everyone with an interest in children's learning. It provides a readable overview of the process and interweaves perceptive comments on what education is all about ( politicians please read as well) The reader is respected in the quality of the text and there are relevant references to the author's personal experience with his own children. The book not only makes suggestions it is written to enable the reader understand the principles of how to make choices. It will prove invaluable.
