About this title

From Library Journal:

This is the third edition of Gould's Home Guide to Early Reading ( LJ 11/1/76. 1st ed.). Readiness to read can and should be taught, asserts the author, who brings to her writing 35 years of experience teaching children with learning problems. She outlines a plan to help prepare both slow and bright learners for school. She recommends teaching letters by sound names, not just by alphabet names, and considers age four to four-and-a-half the optimum age to start developing sound/letter knowledge. Included are dozens of reading, writing, and spelling games to play with children. Recommended.
