 Involving Parents in their Children’s Reading Development
Involving parents and making them partners in their children’s
reading development can make all the difference in helping students to
master reading and become avid readers. Involving Parents in their
Children’s Reading Development: A Guide for Teachers is full of
field-tested material that teachers can immediately use with parents of
children from preschool through middle school. Whether teachers are
reaching out through a parent-teacher conference, sending material
home to parents, or putting together a parent involvement workshop,
this book and CD set will provide everything they need—all in a format
that is easy for them to customize to meet the specific needs of their students and parents.
The book is written by Bruce Johnson, who has over 25 years of experience teaching reading to children from preschool through high school, as well as to college students and parents. He has designed and presented numerous workshops for parents on how they can help support their children’s reading development. His workshop material has formed the basis for many of the chapters in his book. Bruce holds a Master’s Degree in Reading Education and is currently a Reading Specialist with Merrimack Valley School District in New Hampshire.

CD of Reading Comprehension Quizzes
 This CD includes quizzes and answer keys for all We Both Read titles from Level 1 through 3. Each of the quizzes has 10 multiple choice
questions and is presented in two formats. The “Print Format” is designed so you can simply select the quizzes you want and print them
out from your computer. If your school uses Accelerated Reader or
Scholastic Reading Counts, the “Input Format” makes it easier to type
the quizzes into those programs. Click here to view this product.

Big Books
 We Both Read Big Books are the perfect choice for teachers to use in a
group setting to encourage early readers, and even pre-readers, to
participate in the shared-reading and discussion of a story.
A key benefit of We Both Read Big Books vs. other Big Books is that
they are specifically designed so children can easily participate in the reading with their own pages and appropriately leveled text!
