Award Winning Parenting Book Offered as a Free Download for Valentine's Day

Mission Hills, CA (PRWEB) February 13, 2008 -- Since being released last year, families worldwide have turned to the award winning book, "Bonding While Learning," to instill a love of reading in their children while teaching them to read and write. To celebrate Valentine's Day, "Bonding While Learning's" publisher is offering the new eBook edition as a free download (http://americalearns.net/families.htm#download) between February 13th and March 5th.

"Parents and grandparents tell us that 'Bonding While Learning' activities not only strengthen their children's literacy skills, but also create atmospheres where parents share memorable moments from their own childhoods with their children, and where families build memorable moments together," said Gary Kosman, "Bonding While Learning" co-author. "Bonding While Learning's love- and learning-filled activities are a perfect match for this Valentine's Day season. We're thrilled that the resource is available to anybody who can benefit from it."

iParenting Media Awards, one of the most prestigious awards programs for parenting products, honored "Bonding While Learning" by naming it an "Excellent Product of 2007," while parents, grandparents and teachers have showered the resource with their own complements, including:

? "Finally, anyone looking for educational activities to do with their kids has to look no further than this book!" says Stacy DeBroff, CEO, Mom Central, Inc.

? "As a former teacher and now a mom of 2 young children, I highly recommend this book to parents, grandparents and care providers who want to help their children get a running start on reading. This book is not a 'drill and kill' get-your-child-reading-by-age-4-in-100-easy-lessons-or-else manual. It's all about how to deliberately expose your child to good literacy principles in a fun, engaging, natural way. The book even includes reproducible printouts of materials so you don't have to hunt them down yourself (who has time for that?)! says Jennifer Wong, California

? "We are delighted with ["Bonding While Learning". Since I'm a grandmother with an interest in reading to her granddaughter, and a person with no background in teaching reading, it is a wonderful resource," says Anne Schink, Maine.

? "We are a school with a very strong educational philosophy. Our classroom learning is a reflection of different pedagogic philosophies. We have been particularly influenced by Montessori, High Scope and Reggio Emilia. Our teachers are top notch, all of them are college educated with more that the required units in Early Childhood Education. Our staff runs exciting innovative programs?. Your book would be a valuable resource for schools looking to raise the level of education in their schools. There are a lot of unique ideas that would help infuse each classroom with fun, creative learning experiences. I think it would be a great tool for any school to have in its resource library," says Fredda Lowenstein, Associate Director, Mann Family Early Childhood Center.
