Oh, I love this question! I will share with you the books that have made the biggest difference for me, a preschool teacher with over 30 years of experience. (I was an Early Childhood Education/Elementary Education major, certified N/K-8).
Read “Nurtured by Love” by Dr. Shiniki Suzuki. It is the core belief behind the “Suzuki Method” of teaching. It is a small book, but jam packed with wisdom. Read it every couple of years, to renew your mind. He did not believe in turning preschoolers into violin virtuosos. He believed in teaching everyone to develop a beautiful soul.
Read “How to Teach Your Baby to Read”. This is a basic “sight-word” approach, which is the best way to teach preschoolers and younger. They aren’t going to be able to learn a phonics approach to sounding it out. This is also a small book, and very straight forward. It presents one method of teaching, which can be used in a variety of subjects. Glenn Doman also wrote “How to Teach Your Baby to do Math”, How to Teach Your Baby Anything, and “How to Teach Your Baby to Have Superior Physical Ability” – or something like that. Glenn Doman has passed on now, but his website is listed below, the Gentle Revolution. And the first generation of babies who were taught by his method are now teaching their own babies.
Read “Homeschool Burnout” by Ray and Dorothy Moore. Or any book by them. They wrote a number of them. They believed in postponing reading instruction, not until the child is five or six, but until he is ten or twelve! They make an interesting point. If you teach a five year old to read, you will have a fifty percent failure rate, with most of the failures boys. If you wait, and teach ten year olds to read, it will take weeks instead of months, and you will have about 98 percent success! It’s good to get alternate beliefs, before you decide what you think is best. And what is best for one child isn’t best for them all, which sort of makes the whole idea of a federal school system really ridiculous.
I read “Me and I’m Great, Physical Education ages Three to Eight”. I don’t remember who wrote it, or who published it, as it might have been self-published, but it was the best physical education book I ever read.
Finally, you can read my blog!. A bit of self promotion, ahem, but I have posted articles on a variety of topics, like the pros and cons of early reading, the importance of sensory play, and more.
Good luck, and happy reading!
Children Learning Reading

This is an excellent reference for early child reading development based on the Phonemic Awareness method of learning. It is the precursor to the Whole Language” reading technique which relies on memorization.
Phonics allow a toddler or preschooler to “visualize” words before committing them to memory. It also helps word association in a more natural, easy way. It’s a learning technique that has worked great for my kids.
Other books on child development include:
