The Reading Bug: ...And How You Can Help Your Child to Catch it - Softcover

Parents are the best reading teachers in the world. Parental involvement is key to a child learning to read, to use language - and to their whole early years education. In an easy-to-read, jargon-busting book, Paul Jennings gives simple strategies to show how parents can use books to enrich their children's lives - it's not just about learning to read, it's about learning to love reading. He cuts through the jargon and controversy to show how every parent can infect their child with the reading bug.

Paul Jennings worked as a special-education teacher, a speech pathologist and a Senior Lecturer in Education before becoming a full-time writer. Helping children learn to read, particularly those with difficulties, has been a huge motivator throughout his career. He is now one of our most successful children's writers, and has sold more than 6.7 million books.
