Boost your child's imagination and IQ

Why should you teach your child to read before kindergarten with the Godfrey Method?

Early reading develops a child’s imagination. When your child’s imagination is engaged, he is able to face tough things with a creative problem-solving ability. He will be able to think phenomenally well when the day comes that he has to make decisions without you. The tool for that is to open up his world to reading.

There are going to be problems and fights along the parenting way, so I want to tilt the scales in your favor, with your child looking back and saying, ‘I had a great life!’ because of the opportunities you opened up for him with reading early the right way.

When he has to make his own decisions in Jr. High, the magical bullet to get him through may be his ability to think and imagine possibilities, which starts with reading.

I want you to look back when your child is in college, knowing that you gave him what he needed to follow his dreams. You’ll think, ‘I wasn’t perfect, but I gave my child what he needed to be happy in life.’

At his college graduation, your 22-year-old son will be able to hug you and say, ‘Mom, thank you.’

Meg Whitman (former CEO of eBay and candidate for California governor) quote,

“We all hear reports of China and India becoming the next centers for technology and innovation. We’re running behind as a nation in engineering, science, math, and technology... Being near the bottom in education is a tragedy for our kids and a threat to our future. To restore our prosperity and do right by our children, we need to better educate them in the basics… to prepare them to excel in the workforce."
