I am a speech/language pathologist in New Jersey and discovered your wonderful book … It has become my "Bible" for parents of children with speech and language deficits and possible reading difficulties. This book has given me great ideas. I am in private practice and my clients' parents are all educated. However, most of them have no idea how reading and other everyday environmental situations can result in better language skills. Anyway, thank you for this book.
