Raise a Child Who Loves to Read

How do kids really learn to read? And how can you encourage interest in reading and writing from the start? In Raising Confident Readers, based on the five phases of literacy development, Dr. J. Richard Gentry provides fun and easy ways to teach your child to read and write successfully.

When it comes to language, the most critical brain growth happens in early childhood. Raising Confident Readers shows you how to activate and accelerate this capacity for learning: The key is to introduce the right activities at the right time. Whether your child is a baby or toddler, in preschool or kindergarten, or first or second grade, Dr. Gentry helps you identify your child's literacy phase and take the next steps to build writing, reading, and spelling skills. You'll discover:

  • How your child's brain learns to read--and why encouraging drawing and scribbling is as essential as reading aloud
  • The best at-home activities to develop literacy early, naturally, and joyfully
  • Recommended children's books for each phase
  • Strategies for overcoming dyslexia, delayed reading, and other challenges
  • Checklists and a milestones diary to celebrate your child's progress

As your child moves through the five phases, they'll soon be sounding out and spelling words correctly, reading chapter books independently, and writing creative stories on their own. Complete with samples of children's writing throughout, Raising Confident Readers is an essential resource to foster your child's lifelong love of reading.

Perfect Fit and Great Quality!
Color: Light Royal Blue, Size: 16, Color: Light Royal Blue, Size: 16
I bought this suit set for my grandson, and it exceeded all expectations. The fit was absolutely perfect—true to size and very flattering. The material feels high-quality and well-made, with attention to detail in the stitching and finish. He looked so sharp and felt comfortable wearing it, which made the occasion even more special. Highly recommend this set for any formal event!

Great value
This suit was the cutest for my son’s graduation. He is slim enough to fit a 5 but tall enough for a 6. I did get size 5, it fit good, except the vest was a bit on the smaller side. Luckily my boy is skinny. The quality is great. Definitely get your moneys worth. The only con I have is that this item was definitely worn before & likely returned to Amazon. The shirt was wrinkled and not packaged like a “new item”. It was in a regular plastic. You can see in the photo the wrinkles on the shirt sleeves.

Nice suit
This 5 piece set is really nice Pros: fits true to sz which allows it to sit nicely The pants have adjustable waist bands The color is as described Material/fabric is not that great but will do (select a neutral color which can prevent it from looking cheap) Perfect for a growing boy who will need another one soon Cons: The tie is little short and is a non adjustable elastic the handkerchief/pocket square does not fit in the faux pocket. If you want an elevated look - wear with a different tie, thicker fabric white shirt and nice shoes

Color: Light Champagne, Size: 14, Color: Light Champagne, Size: 14
This suit had me questioning whether the manufacturer had ever actually seen a human child before. The pants were SO long — like they were tailored for a 9-year-old with 100 feet of shin. 😂 I had to hem them significantly just to make them wearable for a normal boy. The bow tie was also a letdown. Ours may have arrived defective, but it only seemed to have one hook with nowhere for it to actually attach, so we ended up improvising with the fabric loop. Not exactly the polished wedding-ready moment I was hoping for. The shirt was probably the highlight. It has a subtle textured pattern that makes it feel a little more unique than a standard dress shirt, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the fabric itself is stiff and not particularly comfortable. Overall, the whole set feels pretty cheap quality-wise. BUT… he’s 9. He’ll outgrow it before the next wedding invitation hits the mailbox anyway. 😂 For one day of looking like a dashing young gentleman instead of a tiny tornado in sweatpants, it got the job done. Just definitely not something I’d recommend for peak summer wedding season unless your child enjoys marinating in polyester.

Pretty good fit on my son. I'd say it's true to size. He looked great for his guitar recital.
