I am so pleased to be able to share what I have learned with others through these additional avenues. And you are correct, I did see a great need in my interaction with research, families, and teachers which prompted me to write these books.

As I travel across the country and talk with teachers as well as parents, I realized that the gap between the worlds of the classroom and home, in many cases, was growing wider. Opportunities to collaborate when it comes to reading were being lost. There are many reasons for that. Perhaps the most common I hear is that families are intimidated by all the science involved in teaching reading today and they aren’t sure they have a place. Teachers, on the other hand, sometimes expect parents to understand what the educators have studied four, five, six or even seven years to learn. Teachers too can be so busy with their responsibilities that they don't often take the time to acknowledge the literacy already in the home.

My goal with the two books published by Maupin House - Anytime Reading Readiness and Before They Read - is to start a revolution!
