Why Read?

Why read aloud?

• It's fun and enjoyable for everyone... it helps create a special bond.

• Children learn to read as they listen and look at books.

How to read aloud?

• Share books you like.

• Let your voice get soft and loud.  Change the pace of your reading... slow or fast.

• Turn off the television, radio or stereo.

• Let your child have fun with the book.  Encourage the child to point out pictures, ask questions or repeat words.

Where to start?

• Start at the library.  Your library has it all!  Books...Recordings...Videos.

• No matter what your interest, ask the librarian.
