Read@Home Guide for Writers, Illustrators, and Designers of Books for Young Readers

This Guidance Note was created for the Read@Home project to help writers, illustrators, and designers create books for young children to share with their families at home. Of course, such books may be used in schools as well. In either case, these will be enjoyable books that children will want to read, so they will learn to love reading and develop the life-long habit of reading.  

This document provides support for title development work in underserved languages, including information about the range of genres needed to develop reading skills and motivation and guidance for authors, illustrators, and editors in the production of these diverse types of children’s books.
