The Reading House by Diane DiMemmo

The Reading House fills the need for a book to help parents encourage the literacy development of their children at home. Easy to follow and play, these games and experiences can be quickly incorporated into any family’s busy day. In addition, The Reading House describes nine skill sets that must work together for children to become strong, independent readers. These methods will show parents the plan for encouraging language acquisition and reading success from babyhood to the completion of fifth grade. The Reading House is different from other “how to teach reading” books in that it provides strategies to help beginning, challenged, uninspired, and advanced readers. Central to all of these activities is the importance of loving literature to make reading a fun, eagerly anticipated habit. Easily adaptable to classroom and tutoring scenarios, The Reading House can become a valuable guidebook shared between home and the traditional learning environment to enhance student learning and success.
