Status Report on Child Well-Being

The good news is educational attainment is on the rise. More parents are reading to their children and setting limits on T.V. viewing. Hooray!!! You can read the whole 32 page report



One of the best resources for parents who want to read good books to their children is Jim Trelease and his "Read Aloud Handbook". http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/

Mr. Trelease retired from public speaking this year and his retirement letter is published on his website. He states the "the No Child Left Behind" act was the biggest disappointment of his career. His whole letter is an interesting read. http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/trelease-retirement-letter.html

What's your favorite children's book? I'll publish my list of fav's soon.
