Reading is the most important skill children can learn that provides a lifetime of benefits. But there are many hurdles that prevent children from becoming avid, lifelong readers. In Let Them Have Books, author Gaby Chapman offers a plan to deliver reading proficiency to every child. Based on research and personal experience as a teacher, Chapman presents a detailed discussion of the reading habits of children. She discusses the reasons children don't read, shares information about why they should read, and proposes strategies to help kids become lifelong readers. Let Them Have Books outlines a new model for reading education that aims to reach all children, giving every child the chance to become a skilled and dedicated reader. This model recognizes that the process of learning to read begins at birth and that different brains learn to read in different ways. This reading education centers on giving students freedom to choose their own books and ample time in school to read them in order to create a reading culture for all students.
