Synopsis

Reading aloud to your children is essential. Longtime elementary-school teacher Kim Jocelyn Dickson believes every child begins kindergarten with a lunchbox in one hand and an invisible toolbox in the other. In The Invisible Toolbox, Kim shares with parents the single most important thing they can do to foster their childs future-learning potential and nurture the parent-child bond that is the foundation for a childs motivation to learn. She is convinced that the simple act of reading aloud has a far-reaching impact that few of us fully understand and that the importance of that act has recently been further occluded by our nearly universal saturation in technology. In The Invisible Toolbox, Kim weaves her practical anecdotal experience as an educator and parent into the hard research of recent findings in neuroscience. She reminds us that the first years of life are critical in the formation and receptivity of the primary predictor of success in school?language skills?and that infants begin learning immediately at birth. She also teaches and inspires us to build our own toolboxes so that we can help our children build theirs.

Goodreads review by Kelly on August 29, 2020

Even with experience as an English teacher and school librarian, this book taught (and reminded) me why it's so important to make time to read to our children. Dickson speaks to readers like a friend, explaining that our children have a much greater opportunity to succeed in school (and life) if the......more

Goodreads review by Bülent on September 01, 2023

Kısa ve öz anlatmış yazar. Sizi araştırma sonuçlarına boğmadan, içten bir şekilde ortaya koymuş öğrendiklerini ve tecrübe ettiklerini. Çoğu bildiğimiz şeyler ama elimizin altında durup hatırlatması bakımından elzem. "Ne yazık ki bugünlerde çoğu kreş akademik yeteneklerin, çocuklara harfleri, sesleri......more
