Nurturing Your Child's Natural Literacy

Winner of a 1994-95 "Parent's Choice Foundation" Approval Award, this book gives parents & teachers of pre-school-aged children tools & strategies for a child-centered approach to reading & writing. The book's messages: Parents are a child's first & best teacher; & parents teach their children to read through living. In clear, jargon-free prose rich with practical examples, the authors demonstrate how the development of lifelong readers emerges as a natural outgrowth of early language experiences in the home & community & not from formal teaching of language in dry drills. Author Cliett is an internationally known reading consultant & curriculum specialist; author Fillmer is a professor of reading at the University of Florida. A valuable addition to the parenting & early childhood reading collections. Maple House Publishing, P.O. Box 90148, Gainesville, FL 32607. Telephone & FAX: 1-800-524-0634; 904-373-5588.Fillmer, H.
