| book description |

From one of the nations top educators, a wise book that shows parents how to create homes where children learn with enthusiasm.. Calkins shows how to create a literate environment at home that will support childrens skills as emerging readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, and historians. By creating homes where children learn with enthusiasm, the foundation for a lifelong love of learning is laid. Here the nationally acclaimed educator who transformed the way our children learn to read and write in school shows us how to nurture our childrens imagination at home, from the earliest days of babytalk to the time when we see them off to school. Drawing upon her influential philosophy of active learning, as well as her personal experience as a parent, Calkins shows parents how to stimulate curiosity and spark creative thinking in children. Having an open and creative approach to conversations, chores, and games can matter just as much as reading, writing, and math. And even in traditional skills like reading and writing, we need to encourage our children to read for meaning and write for expression, rather than focus only on mechanics like phonics and spelling.By giving parents new and imaginative techniques for educating children, and by providing them with an insiders view of what goes on in the early grades, Raising Lifelong Learners creates the ultimate partnership in learning between home and school, parents and teachers.
