[AAACE-NLA] Announcement: Education Digest article

[tsticht at znet.com]

Colleagues: The Education Digest for May 2012, Volume 77, No. 9, includes a
digest copy of an article of mine entitled The Case for Early Parenthood
Education. The Education Digest goes to some 5,000 libraries and
organizations. Look for it in your library!


My article makes the point that parents who foster their children’s
listening, speaking, vocabulary, and knowledge skills also foster success
in school. This is one of the findings reported in my one day workshop:
