Great resource for encouraging young readers

Start with a book is a website companion to Reading Rockets that uses books as a launching pad for exploration, converstation, and real world learning adventures.  The free resources build on what young children already like - dinosaurs, building, animals, sports, superheroes and music - so that parents, camp counselors and other s can have fun and intersact meaningfully with children while helping to strengthen their reading skills. Print off a list of recommended books and head to the library.  While you're here, be sure to sign up for the Summer Reading Program.
