Description

Using her own experience as a parent and teacher, Margaret Meek sets out to help parents understand what is happening when a child is taught to read, and explains how parents can help when a child has reading problems. Each chapter deals with a different stage of learning; each has examples of the kind of questions parents ask, together with Margaret Meek's answers.
