Raise a Child Who Loves to Read

How do kids really learn to read? And how can you encourage interest in reading and writing from the start? In Raising Confident Readers, based on the five phases of literacy development, Dr. J. Richard Gentry provides fun and easy ways to teach your child to read and write successfully.

When it comes to language, the most critical brain growth happens in early childhood. Raising Confident Readers shows you how to activate and accelerate this capacity for learning: The key is to introduce the right activities at the right time. Whether your child is a baby or toddler, in preschool or kindergarten, or first or second grade, Dr. Gentry helps you identify your child's literacy phase and take the next steps to build writing, reading, and spelling skills. You'll discover:

  • How your child's brain learns to read--and why encouraging drawing and scribbling is as essential as reading aloud
  • The best at-home activities to develop literacy early, naturally, and joyfully
  • Recommended children's books for each phase
  • Strategies for overcoming dyslexia, delayed reading, and other challenges
  • Checklists and a milestones diary to celebrate your child's progress

As your child moves through the five phases, they'll soon be sounding out and spelling words correctly, reading chapter books independently, and writing creative stories on their own. Complete with samples of children's writing throughout, Raising Confident Readers is an essential resource to foster your child's lifelong love of reading.

Nice soaps!
After visiting Colorado and trying real goats milk soap we have yet to find anything we liked as much. On a whim I purchased this pack. My husband and I both like them very much. As much as we like to shop local it’s been hard to find what we wanted. We will definitely purchase again. We like the scents, the natural exfoliators and the softness it leaves our skin.

Very good bars of soap collection.
My wife doesn’t like the liquid soap because a lot of them say detergent and she says she’s not a dish or a piece of clothing. So this set looks really appealing with a variety of fragrances and scents. It will last you a while. The size of each soap bar is the average size of soap bar. It lathers very well, while being soft on the skin and ganking dirt and odors like it does it’s basically a steal.

Good for exfoliating
Color: Beige (4 Packs)
These are great for saving and using soap slivers. I can't stand to throw out something useful but once they get too small they're hard to hold onto. I had a mesh bag but it started to come apart and I thought these would hold up better. These bags are thick and sturdy. They're a little stiff at first but softened up quickly. They're great for exfoliating. The only change I would like to see is the wood closing bead changed to a locking clip as it slides open all the time.

Great product!
Color: Beige (8 Packs)
I buy handmade soap from a local soap maker, but I’ve always had trouble with it lasting—if I leave it in a soap dish, it never dries properly and melts away too quickly. I used to use loofah socks, but they were frustrating: the knots wouldn’t stay tied and they tore apart easily. I decided to give these a try, and I’m impressed! I had a couple of concerns going in. First, I wasn’t sure they’d fit the larger-sized handmade bars I use—but they do! It’s a snug fit at first, which can make lathering a bit tricky, but after one or two uses it softens up and starts to lather beautifully—honestly, better than the mesh loofahs I’ve used. The design is thoughtful: the knot stays secure, and the bead keeps the soap from slipping out—both huge improvements over other products I’ve tried. The biggest surprise? The exfoliation. It’s effective without being harsh, even on sensitive areas. My skin felt softer than it ever did with sugar or salt scrubs. That’s an unexpected bonus I didn’t even realize I needed! Highly recommend—especially if you’re using handmade or natural soaps and want to make them last longer.
