    About this ebook

    Reflective Reading is a way of reading with your child to do the following:
    1. Improve the bond between you and your child by assuring him of your love no matter his responses to this coached experience.
    2. Assure your child that you have confidence in his ability to discover information and answers on his own.
    3. Enjoy fun and funny time together as you both become aware of humor and meaning in illustrations and words.
    4. Begin the process of understanding that feelings, both positive and negative are normal and they can be changed if we so choose.
    5. Help him to learn the importance of asking for help when he needs help.
    6. Assist him in discovering the value of persistence in successful living.

    These goals cannot be accomplished in one or several readings of a picture book but they will assist both adult and child to understand the importance of the goals and begin a life-long process for accomplishing them.

    How To Mine The Hidden Treasures Of A Picture Book is interactive and requires focus on the part of the adult and child. It is best used in a learning setting with children 5 to 7 year of age rather than as bed time reading. It was developed as a companion to the picture book, "Can A Rooster Drive A Tractor?" but Reflective Reading steps can be used with other books as well as other ages.
