About Active Reading™ - Award-winning Early Start™ books are designed around the way children learn about the world —through conversation, play and discovery. Each book includes fun, interactive elements like pull-tabs, flaps and textures to entertain and engage children so they will thoroughly enjoy and absorb what they are reading.

The Active Reading™ method is based on the results of dialogic reading studies starting in the early 1960’s. These, as well as other studies show that children’s brains develop the most from birth to age three. The Early Start™ Active Reading™ method was created by early childhood experts as an easy way for a parent or caregiver to implement proven reading techniques in order to boost language development and other important skills during this critical period in their child's growth. Active Reading™ text at the bottom of each page guide helps keep children totally and actively involved in every aspect of the book.
