The Raise a Reader: Preschool Edition gives parents of 2–5-year-olds everything they need for the years before reading begins — simple daily read-aloud routines, word and sound games disguised as play, and a guide to building a home where books are loved. Written by literacy and math educator Meliesa Tigard, it pairs practical, research-backed activities with a reflective parent journal for noticing what your child already loves. It's the warm, doable first step toward raising a lifelong reader.
