Raising Kids Who Read You don't have to look very far to find the most important job in the world. It's being the parent or primary caregiver of a child. It's doing one's best to give kids what it takes to be healthy and happy. For parents and others who love and live with kids between the ages of 5 and 10, this booklet supports your efforts to build assets and raise readers. It links literacy - the ability to read and write - to the 40 developmental assets that children need to thrive. Reading is the most important skill a child can master to succeed in school and later in life. In this booklet you will explore the developmental needs of children; support, empowerment, boundaries and expectations, constructive use of time, commitment to learning, positive values, social competencies and positive identity, through the lens of children's stories. Each chapter highlights a set of books that are too terrific to miss while helpful charts and checklists offer an easy way for you to translate sound advice into effective action. Happy reading!
