Baby Steps to Reading

I have a life-long fascination with how human beings of any age learn to read. I love books, and it's great to be able to share that with other people.

When babies and toddlers see the adults in their lives reading, laughing, and talking about books, they want to explore that world also. We can help them do that in the normal course of playing and talking with them.

I'm currently writing a book to share what I've learned about teaching young children to read, and I'm setting up this blog as a place to explore my thoughts as I develop the book and to invite comments and stories from parents and pre-school educators.
