Dr. Wiburg knows that children learn best when the content they see is meaningful for them and when their emotions, as well as their cognitive brain, are engaged in learning. Dr. Wiburg created Tiny Tales for her young students, basing them on language learning principles while making them more interesting to kids than many of the standard text books she was asked to use when teaching reading. Students enjoyed coloring the pictures and adding more meaning to their books. Be sure to read the Hints for Parents and Caregivers in the back of the book.
