A Child Becomes a Reader

Abstract

This is a free, online textbook offered by the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development. This book is part of the Partnership for Reading, a collaborative effort by the National Institute for Literacy, the U.S. Department of Education, and the NICHD to bring the findings of evidence-based reading research to those with an interest in helping all people learn to read well. The booklet, which is based on the findings of the National Reading Panel, describes activities that parents can do with their children, from age five through age 10, to improve reading skills.
