Kristin Gilbreth's Reviews > How to Raise a Reader

A great and encouraging read for parents of kids of any age. I love the way it's organized, moving through a child's developmental stages with specific tips and insights on how a child's brain works during that age.

Above all, the message is to treat reading as its own reward, and I believe that is the key to enjoying reading. Even as adults, we can read to glean information, to analyze, to equip ourselves with tools for debate, to escape, to avoid...it all pales when compared to the love of reading for the sake of reading. Everything else becomes a byproduct.

Overall, very helpful read. Packed with recommendations for every age and situation, this is a great book to keep as a reference as your child grows up.
