Reading Tips for Parents

Your child is never too old to be read too! Reading aloud together not only enhances your child’s reading but also enables parents and children to share some genuine quality time together. If you are not sure where to start, there are some excellent books for parents that give both tips and titles of good read aloud books. Here are some titles that may be found in local book stores:

Read to Me: Raising Kids Who Love to Read by Bernice Cullinan

Hey! Listen to This: Stories to Read Aloud by Jim Trelease (ages 5-9)

Read All About It by Jim Trelease (teens and pre-teens)

The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease

Make every week a “read aloud to your child” week. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me at school.

Happy reading!
