shanviolinlove 's review for:
The Read-Aloud Handbook
by Jim Trelease
A friend recommended this title, among others, to me, and I am so grateful! The first part of the book outlines the importance of reading aloud. Most reading parents would think this is a given, but Trelease does include some strategies and tips to engage little readers. For example, one trick I discovered to getting my rambunctious toddler to sit down for a second and read the book was to pre-read it myself so I could pitch some details he could relate with. ("This is a book about a little boy who loves dinosaurs, just like you! Well, this boy gets to meet one! Want to see how?") As other reviewers have mentioned, the treasury of recommended reads is invaluable! Definitely check it out.
