Here the nationally acclaimed educator who transformed the way our
children learn to read and write in school shows us how to nurture
our children's 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 insider's 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.
