"Literacy Roots is an essential, research-backed guide for parents and educators, offering practical strategies and real-world applications to nurture a child's reading journey from infancy to academic success, making literacy development both accessible and enjoyable."
This book is a must read for all parents, especially those with young children. It is a highly informative book with innovative and practical ideas to positively influence and enhance literacy levels. I'm a 71-year old grandfather with four grandchildren. My son's and daughter-in-law's parenting experience is drastically different from the one my wife and I experienced from the late 70s into the 90s, specifically the challenges of digital and social media. The author (Lauren Daugherty) does an amazing job addressing those various contemporary challenges. I was particularly impressed with the daily learning opportunities. Great read!

"Literacy Roots" offers a thoughtful, practical approach to boosting childhood literacy in today’s tech-heavy world. Lauren Daugherty tackles modern challenges—like digital distractions—with clarity and compassion, making her advice easy to apply across generations. The emphasis on daily learning moments felt especially helpful and doable. As a grandparent, I found it eye-opening and relevant, even compared to my own parenting years. A valuable read for anyone helping to raise curious, capable young readers.

Reading this while my toddler naps and wow - the strategies really work! Started doing the bedtime routine suggestions last month, and my little one is already showing more interest in books. Yesterday she actually brought me her favorite story and pointed out letters she recognized - something I never thought possible at her age!
The way the author explains early literacy development makes so much sense, especially the part about everyday learning opportunities. There is a few places where the writing gets a bit repetitive but honestly the information is to valuable to worry about that. It's like having a literacy expert guiding you through every step!
