Biggest takeaway from this book is that back and forth conversation is invaluable for literacy， even more than reading to a child daily。 She provides evidence-based tips for even quick moments of learning and easily making words a part of otherwise mundane interactions。 My husband and I are early literacy advocates， and our daughter started reading around 2-3 years old。 She’s far above her grade level in reading now， at 5 years old/Kindergarten。 We are always eager to share what helped her， and Biggest takeaway from this book is that back and forth conversation is invaluable for literacy， even more than reading to a child daily。 She provides evidence-based tips for even quick moments of learning and easily making words a part of otherwise mundane interactions。 My husband and I are early literacy advocates， and our daughter started reading around 2-3 years old。 She’s far above her grade level in reading now， at 5 years old/Kindergarten。 We are always eager to share what helped her， and this book captures so many those things。 We all want to set our children up to be as successful as possible， and I believe “front loading” （as she calls it） reading skills is an excellent way to do that。 。。。more

Fantastic resource with direct， easy-to-absorb writing。 The science may be dense， but Smart makes it accessible。 This is a must-have for young parents to impress upon them both the urgency of the literacy crisis facing the United States and the ways we can address it--beginning at home。 This is doable， helpful information every parent should have， and the recommendations encourage not only literacy， but brain building， in addition to fostering intimacy between parent and child。 The advice is eas Fantastic resource with direct， easy-to-absorb writing。 The science may be dense， but Smart makes it accessible。 This is a must-have for young parents to impress upon them both the urgency of the literacy crisis facing the United States and the ways we can address it--beginning at home。 This is doable， helpful information every parent should have， and the recommendations encourage not only literacy， but brain building， in addition to fostering intimacy between parent and child。 The advice is easy， the skills are necessary， and this book is a road map for parents who want to set up their child for success but don't want to ruin their own lives while doing so。 Great baby shower gift （along with a copy of Pat the Bunny， I'd suggest）。 Audiobook is a great option， too！ 。。。more
