Naked Reading: Uncovering What Tweens Need to Become Lifelong Readers

Okay, this may seem like a very odd book to have on an infants and tots list BUT let me assure everyone that this book is in my top 5 items for parents, teachers and child care givers of the preschool set.   Please don't let the name fool you, it simply describes such a deep love of reading that not even being soaking wet mattered. 

In short, the author, Teri Lesesne, discusses ideas and philosophies behind turning tweens into lifelong readers.  The only disagreement I have with her is that becoming readers starts long before a child becomes a tween.  By then for many children it may be too late.  Building a love of books should start at birth or even before. 

Please pick it up!
