WELCOME TO RECIPES TO READING!

TEACH YOUR CHILD TO READ THROUGH THESE PICTURE RECIPES.

Picture-based recipes will have your child learning to read through visual clues, just like picture books.

By navigating through the website, you can find fun, child-friendly, picture-based recipes. These can be downloaded for ONLY $1.59 each and are found in the RECIPES DOWNLOAD. section. Since these are downloads, there are no shipping charges and NEVER a handling fee!

This website is also a resource for books for cooking, follow-up activities and coming soon, FREE printable worksheets and flash cards.

During the cooking experience, each child learns reading, math, science, social studies, and pre-writing skills while working alongside you, the parent or teacher.

ALL OF OUR RECIPES ARE CHILD TESTED IN A CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT

THIS SITE IS FOR:

1. Young children who love to cook
2. Teachers
3. Young home-schoolers

LITERATURE BASED COOKING PROMOTES:

1. Bonding and teamwork
2. Building self-esteem by allowing a child to read the recipe and follow the steps
3. Building bridges between literature and real life; written words to an object
4. Building fine motor skills necessary for writing by cutting, tearing, mixing, spreading, grating and rolling
5. Encouraging picky children to try something new; children are more inclined to taste food that they prepared themselves, not to mention tasting the ingredients during preparation
6. Building an appreciation for literature; books come to life with food and can be enjoyed through all five senses
7. Encouraging sequencing and following directions, problem solving, critical thinking and responsibility
8. Increasing and enforcing vocabulary
9. Teaching children about nutrition
