The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease




This book was a gift from a friend who is an elementary school reading specialist. She thought it would be helpful to me as a homeschooling mom. I Love It!! It includes so much facts and statistics on reading to a child, but yet it presents itself in a way that keeps you reading it more and more. All the anecdotal stories are wonderful. I sat down to thumb through this book one night and ended up reading almost the entire book! This book is 292 pages and the last 115 are all recommended books and include a short synopsis of the book as well as the recommended reading ages for each story. A wonderful resource for any parent!
