Language and literacy are everywhere you look (or listen). This show demonstrates that through reading aloud, learning together, playing with idioms, and exploring other cultures, children and parents (including ESL parents) can find inspiration, feel empowered, and forge bonds that will last a lifetime. Guests include Barbara Krol-Sinclair and Jeanne Paratore of the Intergenerational Literacy Project.
Use this lively DVD (part of the Words That Cook! set) to make family literacy a fun-filled part of everyday life.

Recipes for Success provide creative tips, tools, and techniques for bringing literacy to life at home and in the classroom, and recommended booklists suggest expert-approved books for sharing.
