Cultivating Early Reading Development

All core school subjects involve the use of applicable language, vocabulary, and reading skills. The cultivation of early reading development, which begins at birth, helps open the gateway to reaping the benefits of a lifelong enjoyment and love for reading and success in all other content subject areas, including science, math, history, and social studies.

From many years of public school teaching experience at the elementary and middle school levels, research in reading development, and involvement in several education public policy organizations, Dr. Alvin Haywood has written a book perfect for teachers, parents, and teacher-education university students. Cultivating Early Reading Development: Reaping the Benefits of School Success! gives parents concrete and specific examples on how to help their child(ren) with reading at home and teacher classroom instructional strategies for engaging students in meaningful and productive reading and learning activities across a wide variety of ages and grade levels from preschool through the elementary school grades.
