Jason Boog

I seriously don’t have enough good things to say about this book. I borrowed this copy from the library, but I already have plans to order a copy to keep, because its an amazing resource. Not just for parents, but for librarians and teachers too. Also, I want to say that of all the read-to-your-kids books that I’ve read, this is one of the few, maybe the only, that actively encourages using the library and talking to librarians. I felt so appreciated.

Boog sells you on his book right from the intro. Children whose parents read interactively with them are six to eight months ahead of other children, he tells us. Reading interactively will push your children's IQ up an amazing six points. And then he shares with us what research has shown is the best way to read with your kiddos.

I can tell it's going to be a keeper, a book I share with parents and other librarians.

Jason Boog does a good job sharing his experiences with his own daughter Olivia while incorporating valuable information about books, ebooks, music, sports, and well . . . life.

For those who ask how can you be a reader and be a part of life Boog shows us it's possible to learn that reading is a part of life.

Read for yourself, give as a gift and be sure to donate copies to your local reading programs.

A summary of many others' thinking about reading, supplemented by personal anecdotes from the author's relationship with his daughter. Unfortunately, some of the author's interpretation of the research is thin or inaccurate. Not recommended, so not doing a public review.(174)
