Researchers have found that children begin to learn reading and writing at home, long before they go to school. This booklet for parents summarizes the most important research findings, defines important terms, and lists reading skills that kids at different ages are developing.
This booklet offers advice for parents of children from grades K-3 on how to support reading development at home and how to recognize effective instruction in their children’s classrooms.
Millions of children spend a part of the day in child care while their parents work. These settings – in centers and in homes – are places where children can learn and grow.
