Read the Signs!

It’s FUN to do!

Signs tell us things

(Uh-huh! It’s true!)

Awareness And Thinking

BOOKS by Tara are simple concept books that use photography to illustrate various examples of familiar, appealing themes.

FUN INTERACTIVE TOOL

The key factor in connecting with each other as human beings is establishing a communicative point – a common point of interest and focus where two or more minds meet. BOOKS by Tara make a reference point easier to establish by slowing down our fast-paced world.

Language Development and Social Skills

BOOKS by Tara were designed to conversation books, and they are perfect to use for dialogic reading. This technique has been extensively studied as a proven way to promote attention, thinking, language development, and reading skills.

“I just wanted to tell you that I received the books from processing today and there were already holds on the newer titles that we didn’t have! I think my favorite of the four we didn’t have is The Sign Says NO, the rhyme is just adorable and I can’t wait to start using it with my groups.”
