Kids' books can be a real treasure.
Have you ever run out of good books to read to your children? Looking for some different books that come highly recommended? I have a great website for you.
Many adults know the importance of reading to children.
- For babies it helps them hear words and the connection of words to the objects in the pictures.
- When adults read with expression, it helps children to do the same when they read.
- Children learn listening comprehension which precedes reading comprehension.
- When done one on one, it can strengthen the bond between adult and child as they sit together on the couch or on a chair.
- Reading aloud can spark curiosity in the child about the many things in the world for them to learn.
I remember sitting on my Grandma Frank’s lap as she read nursery rhymes to me. My husband and I both read to our children and now our grandson is being read to by his parents. It is cycle that I hope keeps going.
I came across this website this morning in which Anita Silvey picks children’s book to review for the day. It is a great site because she not only recommends a book, but she also gives you information about the author and some background behind the book. Check out the link and maybe you will see some old favorites and some new books that you have not heard of.
I treasure any comments that you may have about this topic.
