Description: A program for parents and professionals on how to raise kids who love to read, featuring interviews with childhood development experts, advice from librarians, tips from authors and children's book publishers, and reading recommendations for kids from birth up to age five. Experts say that reading to your child is just as important a determining factor of IQ as taking vitamins or eating a healthy diet. But reading is about more than just a score on a standardized test. With Born Reading, you'll learn how to raise children who not only can read but who love to read... and who will take that love of reading with them into the future.
