I have recently finished reading a fascinating title. Dr. Suskind's words so easily relate to the principles to Every Child Ready to Read. She sums up her parenting suggestions in the "Three T's."

Take Turns
And every educator's 4th "T", Turn it OFF!
This is a must read for parents, caregivers and teachers who strive to make a difference in a child's life by setting them on the path to success before they ever step foot in a classroom. The first 5 years are so critical.
