A fabulous book for your children





Cherie and I recently met the author of
What children Need to learn to Read at the Washington Homeschool convention in Puyallup in June. After taking this book home to read and review, Cherie and I were impressed with the activities and descriptions within this book. This book is full of wonderful ideas to encourage a love of reading in your child. The ideas and songs work hand-in-hand to create fun and interactive activities for children. We both have read this book and highly recommend any parent, family member or teacher to try this book out and see exactly what we see: a book that will help and propel your child into a life-long-love of learning.

Review

How different would your life be if you couldn't read or write? I bet the difference would be dramatic. For one thing, you wouldn't be looking at this page of seemingly meaningless characters. For another, you'd be way less connected to and informed about the world around you. And no matter what you were seeking in life, your options would be dramatically limited. But what about the other end of the spectrum? What if you could read and write and communicate with clarity and confidence? You would have the opportunity to connect at a deeper level with your community and the world around you. And in doing so, your ability to achieve the life of your dreams would be greatly enhanced. If you are interested in providing your child with these powerful tools that lead to a lifetime of success, then you are holding the right book in your hands. Michelle Vallene's book "What Children Need to Learn to Read" is the perfect way to start your child's journey to literacy. The fun and educational activities in this book are a great way to ignite your child's love for reading. Talk about quality time with your child! The activities in this book will enhance your relationship with your child, stimulate their self-confidence, and foster a life-long appreciation for reading and writing. Have fun! --Foreward by Derek Munson, Author of the award-winning children's book, Enemy Pie:
