| "A child's mind isn't a blank slate; it's more of a jungle. Each time a parent helps a toddler read, the child is walking through this jungle from one side to the other. Trip after trip, seemingly impossible passage becomes a well-worn path. Children sent to school skipping merrily along this path to literacy fare far better than those sent to school with machetes." | ||
