Review:
I found Vera's examples of feedback to children to replace "sound it out" to be very useful. She provides valuable suggestions for choosing the "right book". Her positive and respectful attitude toward parents and her love of children and reading seem to jump from the pages. She provides lots of ideas parents will be anxious to try, without being overwhelmed. --Jenelle Michell in LIRA CONNECTIONS
This is one of the best guides for parents that I have read. It includes information about reading as well as specific suggestions to parents on how to help their children, and to professionals who work with parents on ways to discuss reading instruction and home help wioth clarity and specificity. --Anne Price in CALGARY LEARNING CENTRE NEWS
Vera Goodman's book has clarified and affirmed my teaching philosophy. It is an excellent resource for both parents and teachers. The language is straightforward and practical. Vera presents a balanced view of phonics within the context of whole language. She believes that "children need to feel successful in order to be capable". --Heather Guigue in EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
