"Research shows that when there is verbal interaction between the reader and child during story-book reading, literacy development is positively influenced."
–(Heath, 1982; Morrow, 1987)
"Reading aloud to children is the single most important thing you can do to build the knowledge they need to succeed in learning to read. It is the foundation."
–Jill Eggleton

"Teachers on our campus have really enjoyed reading the Splash series of books to their students. In Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade they play with the sounds of language in the books. We also use these books as a tool to teach the retelling process. Students love the repetitive phrases and bright, colorful pictures. We use the story boards in this process. Their oral language development shows improvement from the retellings. One other big benefit that we have seen from using this product is how much the phonemic awareness and oral language development leads to better writing in writing workshops in Kindergarten and First Grade. It is a fun way to get our students listening, reading, talking, and writing!"
