Inhaltsangabe:

Imagine snuggling, cozy and comfortable reading aloud to your child and talking about the characters, asking their thoughts, finding the funny parts, the silly parts and the favorite parts of a story.

Now imagine flashcards, drilling and promises of ice cream if your child does the work. Frustration and irritation may ensue as you feel the pressure to teach.

Which feels better?

You do not need to teach your young child to read.

There is a surefire way to prepare your child for future school success and success in life. From newborn babies to 5 year olds, the path is one of adventure, imagination, exploration, discovery, and fun.

Waiting until school starts is not an option. This path starts now.

Although, this is not a secret, not all parents are aware of the impact of reading aloud to your child daily. Reading aloud daily to you child will impact their ability to speak, listen, think, remember, and read. But reading alone is not enough. Reading aloud AND engaging with your child as you talk, play, pretend and listen has a huge effect on the already positive story time.

The significance of being close to you and hearing your voice as you read aloud creates a deeper, loving child-parent bond as well. This experience cannot be replaced by stories on electronic devices.

If you are a new parent, a parent of a child in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, if you are a parent of a child with health, physical or other special situations, this book is for you as you are guided on the when, where, why and how of reading aloud. Included are ideas on engaging with the story, a list of books to get you started and a list of resources.
