Description

Visiting My Grandmother stimulates your child's creativity and interest in reading and writing. After a visit, you and your child can relive the fun by recording what Grandmother looks like, where she lives, how they play and what they do and eat together in your child's own words, drawings, and photographs. The book provides sentence starters that children finish with words describing their personal experiences. The young authors then paste photos or draw pictures to illustrate their stories. Parents or grandparents can help children complete their one-of-a-kind book for a wonderful shared activity. Working on this Interactive Book about Me helps young and beginning readers (ages 3-7) improve their vocabulary, reading, and writing skills.

Review
"In order to teach a child, you have to enter their view of the world...What a great way to do this! K.A. Bye's interactive books help to bridge the literacy gap. This series not only helps young readers improve their literacy skills, it allows the reader to own the story and 'be the book.' Better yet, the series fosters positive relationship building between adult and child. A must-have for all parents, caregivers and early elementary school teachers alike." ~Julia Cook, M.S., Award Winning Children's Author/Presenter “Ideal for playtime, rainy day, and family night activities, the entire series is enthusiastically recommended to the attention of grandparents, teachers, and care-givers too!! ~Children’s Bookwatch, September 2009 ~Diane C. Donovan, Editor "A marvelous idea, executed in superb fashion...Being able to personalize the book, with drawings or writing makes the books a keepsake and a real source of pride." ~The National Parenting Center, August 2008 "This unique approach to interacting with children is fun and compelling, meaningful and authentic for kids. The stories captured in these books transcend the giving of an ordinary gift. They share time, attention, and love - all gifts that will last." ~Donna Flood, Ph.D., Education
