Great tips for parents on interactive reading techniques from birth to age 5. Helpful suggestions on when it's okay to introduce tablets, apps, ebooks and other fancy technology to your kid. Not a lot of research has been done yet, but the general rule seems to be don't let them stare at shiny little boxes before they turn 2. But the author isn't anti-tablet either. Not preachy. Terrific reading lists and suggestions for educational apps when they're old enough to use them. The last chapter discusses new Common Core standards and how these interactive reading techniques can help kids once they start school.
