Synopsis

Reviews

Growing Up Reading is a workbook designed for parents who want to encourage early reading in their children (aged approximately three months to seven years). Hauser is a teacher and a teacher trainer, which gives the book a bit of a preschool-text slant. Her method, which employs age-appropriate play activities, appears to require a lot of time and effort, but it's probably a good aid in removing kids from the TV. Growing Up Reading features both the phonics and whole-language approaches to reading and writing, and it encourages reading aloud to children, with a list of recommended books. Sections include "Creating a Literacy-Rich Home" and "Developing Critical Thinking Skills." Hauser also provides information for those wishing to set up an "official" Growing Up Reading approach in early-childhood education programs. Jo Peer-Haas
