Read Aloud Books
ALL children can benefit from being read to. Any book lends itself to being a
read aloud. Children love to hear adults read to them. It creates a special
time between adult and child. Choose a book that is at least 2-3 grade levels
above your child's reading level. Children can listen to language at a higher
level than they can read. The grade levels here are suggestions - let your
child's interests and maturity guide you in selecting an appropriate book. It
only takes 20 minutes a day!
