The main difference between Early Reading Together® and Reading Together® is that Early Reading Together® is focused on helping parents to talk with, read to and read with young children (babies to six year-olds) and also to sing and enjoy rhymes etc with them, while Reading Together® is mainly designed to help parents support their children effectively and positively when the child is reading to a parent or whānau member at home i.e. the point at which things go badly wrong in so many families, across all socio-economic and ethnic groups.
