Meghan Cox Gurdon

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Parents and grandparents shouldn't miss The Enchanted Hour, but more important, we all need to heed this delightful book's wise advice: Please read to your kids. It's not the school's job to get our kids reading, it's our job - and it's a wonderful, magical act of love and caring. ( James Patterson)

Don't pick up this bewitching book! It's so enchanting you won't be able to put it down ( Mem Fox, author of Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes and Reading Magic)

Meghan Gurdon has given today's parents much needed wisdom to raise attentive and curious children in the Age of Distraction. I hope her book finds a huge audience ( Rosemary Wells)

An inspiring argument for sharing the joys of reading ( Kirkus)

The Enchanted Hour enthralled me . . . Gurdon's book is the most charming, gentle encouragement to step away from your phone, and into the embrace of your family's most vivid imaginations ( Sarah Ivens, author of Forest Therapy)

As soon as I began to read, I was filled with that kind of engrossed blossoming that happens somewhere inside of you when you start a really nourishing book (Pandora Sykes Sunday Times)

A joyous book that'll have you scrambling to the library ( Yours) --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Imagine an elixir so strong that a daily dose would make your family smarter, happier, healthier, more successful, and more closely attached. Now imagine that you could have it without spending a dime.

It all starts with a book, a voice, and a place to sit . . .

From a beloved Wall Street Journal columnist comes a book that will transform your understanding of reading aloud. Grounded in the latest brain science and behavioral research, and drawing widely from life and literature, The Enchanted Hour reveals the stunning advantages that await people of every age and background when they partake of this ancient practice.

Meghan Cox Gurdon shows how reading out loud is a fast-working antidote to the fractured attention spans, atomized families, and unfulfilling distractions of the tech era. From a thrilling look at what happens in a toddler's brain when a grown-up reads a story, to the way shared books are keeping far-flung military families connected; from the imaginative transport of classic novels, to the rejuvenating late-life consolations of poetry and prose: the evidence is clear and the benefits are irrefutable.

Taking us into hospitals, homes, bookstores, and schools, Gurdon blends cutting-edge science with funny, touching stories of real families--including her own--in a compelling testament to the power of what Charles Dickens called the "spoken syllable."

Lively and authoritative, with practical tips and reading recommendations, The Enchanted Hour will inspire readers to share this invaluable, life-altering tradition with the people they love most--and perhaps rediscover an enchanted slice of their own childhoods in the process.

For two decades, Speech to Print has been a bestselling, widely adopted textbook on explicit, high-quality literacy instruction. Now the anticipated third edition is here, fully updated with ten years of new research, a complete package of supporting materials, and expanded guidance on the how of assessment and instruction in today's classrooms.

Filling a critical gap in teacher preparation courses, Speech to Print supplies K-12 educators with in-depth knowledge of the structure and function of language―fundamentals they need to deliver successful structured literacy instruction. Renowned literacy expert Louisa Cook Moats gives current and future teachers comprehensive, accurate, and accessible information on the underpinnings of language instruction, including:

- the history of the English language and its effect on spelling
- English phonology, including speech sounds and their distinctive features
- how print represents speech in English
- the morphological aspects of words
- syntax and its instruction
- how meaning is conveyed with language

Through case studies, activities, recommended teaching principles, and close analysis of real-world student work samples, teachers will also receive invaluable insight into how their students should be taught. Ideal for use in pre-service courses and in-service professional development sessions, this essential textbook will give educators the strong foundation they need to teach language and reading skills to students with and without disabilities.

WHAT'S NEW:

- New and expanded practical content on the how of language and reading instruction
- New and updated chapter exercises
- New faculty support materials
- More on key topics like program and curricula selection, frameworks for instructional planning, and problem solving when students are slow to respond to intervention
- More accessible, undergraduate-friendly tone and structure
- Additional graphics to illustrate key concepts

Reading 101 for Parents: Your Pre-K Child

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Discover the typical literacy milestones for your pre-kindergarten child, and how to support your child's developing skills in reading and writing. Use the links on the left to find activities, videos, and other resources to build skills in these key areas: understanding what print is, recognizing the sounds in speech, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Get an overview of the reading and writing skills that are typical for 5-year-olds. Remember that kids develop at different rates, so don't be worried if your child isn't doing some of these things yet. If you do have concerns, talk to your pediatrician, your child's teacher, or the reading specialist at school.

Reading

Uses descriptive language to explain and explore.

Recognizes letters and letter sounds.

Begins to match spoken words with written ones.

Identifies and uses rhyming words.

Can recognize beginning sounds and sometimes middle and end sounds in simple words.

Recognizes and uses "word families" (words that share certain letters and may also rhyme, for example: bat, hat, rat, sat).

Identifies the sounds of each letter in simple, one-syllable words.

Recognizes some "sight words," common words kids have to recognize instantly without sounding them out. A few examples are a, the, I, my, you, is, are.

Begins to build a bank of correctly spelled words.
