Dawn Roginski, a parent, early childhood educator, and children’s librarian, brings all her rich experiences to help parents and caregivers support early literacy development in their children ages newborn to age five through talking, singing, reading, writing, and playing together. In addition to specific book and song lists, Dawn offers specific examples so you can picture yourself doing the activities with your children in ways that best support language development. Good combination of child development and early learning research with real life situations.
