Raising Lifelong Learners: A Parent's Guide Paperback – August 21, 1998

My husband was reading this book and he loved it so much that I bought this copy for our daughter who has two children. I didn't want her to have to wait until we finish with the first copy.

It has great tips to encourage your kids to learn on their daily activities. It also explains the importance of a play time in the kids.

Good read.

I do not remember selecting to by a used book with pages ripped out of it.

excellent

Raising Lifelong Learners is a great book and a fabulous parent resource. I utilized the information as a parent and for the past ten years have incorporated the various topics into parent workshops. I like how the book is written as a parent guide that teachers can also tap into. I have a suggestion that hopefully Ms. Calkins sees valuable; Raising Lifelong Learners needs to be either revised and/or updated. The Common Core Learning Standards, the National Standards being adopted by most of the states, needs to be part of the text and included in the academic subjects. The book was written in 1997, parents would greatly benefit in reading the most up to date information. I have not found another book as resourceful and nurturing as this book and and an updated version would directly help in training and supporting parents.

Even though it said 14-21days, I didn't expect to really take that long. I think I waited 20days-too long. The book is a great resource & does explain ways to show children how wonderful reading and writing can be. Also, how we can show them this everyday. From reading other reviews, I thought there would be more activities. Definitely a book to recommend to new parents.
