It explains the 5 early stages of reading development from listening to stories, to Getting Ready to Read (level 1), Starting to Read (level 2), Becoming a Reader (level 3), Building Confidence in Reading (level 4) to Reading with Confidence. At every step there are suggestions on how to support the child's reading and lots of easy games and activities that provide valuable reinforcement. This will give parents real confidence in supporting their child's reading in an enjoyable way. In addition there are questions parents often ask, a section on home/school links - invaluable for parents when a child starts school, and a full list of the 100 Common Words repeated and highlighted in the books.
