 Another Excellent book from Dominic Wyse August 19, 2007
J. G. Buchan (East Yorkshire)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Although printed on the cover ' for every parent of children from birth to eleven years' it is a worthwhile read for everyone with an interest in children's learning. It provides a readable overview of the process and interweaves perceptive comments on what education is all about ( politicians please read as well) The reader is respected in the quality of the text and there are relevant references to the author's personal experience with his own children. The book not only makes suggestions it is written to enable the reader understand the principles of how to make choices. It will prove invaluable.
An excellent guide to early literacy March 12, 2008

Such an interesting, well-written guide to early literacy. This book would be useful for every parent - but what a pity it isn't compulsory reading for every teacher!! The author is extremely knowledgeable on the subject and this knowledge is backed by well-documented experiences with his own two children. At last someone writes with sense about how children begin their journey to literacy in a way that isn't influenced by current fads and trends.
The book is very well-presented, is clearly laid-out and is beautifully illustrated. A book to keep on the bookshelf and 'dip into' but also easy to read at a sitting.
 Well-written, enthusiastic, accessible - and yet, and yet... September 9, 2008

I looked forward to reading this book, both out of professional interest and as a parent, and found much to appreciate and enjoy. Dr. Wyse is a lucid and engaging writer, a passionate advocate of reading with children and encouraging their own reading and writing from the earliest age. He includes some excellent ideas and recommendations of specific titles for particular stages, and lively supporting examples of reading and writing approaches from children themselves.
However, Dr. Wyse does quote his experiences with his own children - clearly very bright and able, and with plenty of informed parental support - extensively, drawing general conclusions from their very particular circumstances. I'm not for underestimating children, but even parents committed enough to buy this book might find some of the expectations in it daunting. And as a synthetic phonics sceptic, Dr. Wyse gives very little book-room or credence to phonics teaching - a pity, given its increasing importance in early literacy teaching in the UK.
Those details aside, on the whole this is a highly useful and encouraging book, and especially valuable for its emphasis on communicating and reading with children in the early years, the foundations of confident and enjoyable reading for life.
