Based on the powerful VIEWS2 research which confirmed the value of key strategies used in storytime, WebJunction and early literacy expert Saroj Ghoting have teamed up to translate those findings into practice. The research showed that when young children (birth to five) are exposed to specific reading skills, they can learn to read more successfully. HOW you interact with children is as important as what you do or how frequently you do it.
