On my desk is a picture of my daughter, Sarah, taken when she was 5. She's sitting at the breakfast table, holding up the front page of The New York Times. No doubt she'd seen her father and me doing that countless times. And while she certainly wasn't catching up on the news, she had indeed absorbed how much we valued reading of any kind. Like all new readers, Sarah was beginning to comprehend a story's main idea as well as some of its details. She'd started to sound out unfamiliar words and make up her own silly rhymes. All were signs of reading readiness. While I knew that the nuts and bolts of reading were best left to her very competent teachers, I wanted to do everything possible to foster a home environment that would make her want to learn.

Reading to Learn
grandmakipper says:
A Message of Love by April Robins is an excellent reading to learn book. The book teaches the ways of life in the 1950's and takes a child through the steps required to make a quilt. It is light hearted, beautifully illustrated, and a great read together about grandma and grandpa's childhood days.
