This is the best pre-reading book I have seen. The specific games, tips, and exercises would also work for should-be-readers who are stuck. The author has lots of real experience. She supports phonics over purely "whole language". For a different but not incompatible approach to pre-reading, reading, and writing, see "Montessori Read & Write : A Parent's Guide to Literacy for Children by Lynne Lawrence. They build skills and get your child to reading. Probably best for child 3 - 6/7 years old. They are *not* in-a-rush, "learn to read" books. If you want that, try "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" by Siegfried Engelmann, et. al.
An excellant, interesting work on how children learn to read

I am a brand new Nursery Teaching Assistant at a private N-6 school in Philadelphia. In my search for books to help me learn more about teaching young childredn to read I found this wonderful work. Dr. Gould is a clear, inviting writer who knows her subject very well and is full of ideas to help parents and teachers with this important and sometimes challenging area. Full of anecdotal stories from her own practice and replete with easy and fun activities for both the teacher/parent and the young child.
