From Cedar Rapids, Iowa "Gazette": "Author Ricki Linksman has plenty of tips for parents who want to be sure their kids love to read, and can read well.

Tap into Your Brain's Superlink--Learning Becomes Easy, Effortless, and Automatic, April 1998 edition From L.A. Parent and San Diego Parent: "All children in California will be reading at grade level or above by the end of third grade." With this promise, California state leaders have made reading instruction in the early grades (K through 3) a top priority in the public schools. So while the politicians are trying to do their part, how can parents help their little readers measure up? According to Ricki Linksman, author of Your Child Can Be a Great Reader, parents should first figure out their child's learning style. "Research shows that each of us receives information in different ways," Linksman explains. "Visual learners learn better through their eyes, auditory through their ears, tactile learners by touching, and kinesthetic learners by moving around.:--from an article in the L.A.
