Arpita (world of a book enthusiast)'s Reviews > How to Raise a Reader

This is an inspiring and motivating book written by Pamela Paul and Maria Russo. They both are mothers of three kids and experts about children's books.
I think this book is a must-have for all parents who want to raise readers. In fact, as an adult, even I felt so motivated after reading this book. Both the authors have done a great job in writing this book. They have talked about each stage (from a newborn to a teenager) and have mentioned so many tips and tricks so that we can encourage our kids at every stage. I think some of the tips and tricks can also be used by us adults for the matter of fact. They have also given the book recommendation for every stage. This book is a gem and with all this information, the most important thing suggested by them is to have patience at a stage when your child is struggling to become a reader or is having some other issues just support him or her. This is all they need.

The writing is quite promising and reading this book is a delight. For instance, at the beginning of this book, the author writes about how reading a wonderful book is like a therapy. Even if you are stressed or the day is challenging for you, a good book can make you feel lifted up. On days when we are fully exhausted, we can just sit with our kids and start reading a book and the world is a different place altogether.

All in all a great book to read. Thank you netgalley and Workman Publishing Company for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
