On Partnerships between families and professionals:
“You have no conception of what your best effort is, So you must continually strive to do better today than you were able to do yesterday. If you make a concerted effort every day, your best effort will grow in ever-increasing circles. .” Ann Turbull

“Experts generally agree that taking all opportunities to read books and other material aloud to children is the best preparation for their learning to read. The pleasures of being read to are far more likely to strengthen a child’s desire to learn to read then are repetitions of sounds, alphabet drills, and deciphering uninteresting word. “ 
Lilian Katz


Louise Derman-Sparks

Raymond Hernandez
His motivational words,

  1. I liked the quote from Raymond Hernadez as well. I think desiring to make a difference goes a long way, and I think parents and children can pick up on whether we are genuine or not in this regard!
    I also like the quote you chose from Lilian Katz. This is a good reminder of the power of reading aloud to children!
