Description

This helpful resource for parents, teachers, librarians, and others offers guidance in the selection and use of quality children's literature appropriate for young readers-primary through junior high grades-who have reading difficulties. More than a list of recommended titles, this resource addresses questions parents frequently ask, defines terms such as auditory memory, decoding, and word retrieval problems, and explains how these terms affect reading. A special section lists web sites, multimedia resources, recorded books, and informational literature that support literacy development. It is the ideal book for anyone seeking help in the selection and use of good books to foster literacy development and to promote enthusiasm for and a love of reading.
