Reading aloud to your children -- at any age, from birth on up -- is one of the most important thing parents can do to help your children's reading development. From sharing short, simple board books with your infant or toddler ... to sharing picture books with your preschooler...to reading snippets of chapter books with your school-age child ... reading aloud has been shown over and over again to be beneficial, in many, many ways. Just a few minutes a day is all it takes, but you may find you're enjoying it so much, you'll be spending more time reading together!

Top Ten Resources on Reading Aloud for some great tips.
One of my all-time favorite resources on reading aloud with children is the
The Read-aloud Handbook by
Jim Trelease.
Of course, you can always visit us at the library, where your friendly children's librarians will be happy to share their favorite read-alouds with you! Happy Reading!
