Great guidelines

Suggested by our daughter's teacher. Wish we could adhere to the guidelines regularly. The argument is sound and definitely gave us food for thought about how we teach our kids to relate to books and think about the written word. Recommended if you wish to share your passion with reading with your kids.

I would have never known

My daughters teacher referred me to this book. It let's you know which books are good to read to your kids at the different age levels. Some books I never read when I was a child. I look forward to reading to my children.

Teaching Children To Read

I am a big advocate of teaching children reading early on by reading great stories and discussing them- this is the beginning of developing comprehension skillls and love for reading. Two pieces of children's literature with fabulous teaching guides for parents and or teachers written by two teachers are a must-have : Life's Little Lessons: An Inch-By-Inch Tale of Successand The Big Squeal: A Wild, True, and Twisted Tail.The stories and messages are wonderful and the bonus reading guide is invaluable. Read all three aloud and teach your children early these important skills.

A guide educating young children

I think that the current title is not general enough for this book. Perhaps it should be called "Parent: Take education into your own hands" or "Don't depend on school to make up for 5 years (0-5) of sitting in front of the TV" or "How to spend quality time with your kids," or just plainly "Turn of the TV and Read Aloud to your Kids."

The main premise of the book is that reading aloud to young children is the single most important thing you can do to help your child have a brighter [academic] future. These days parents put so much money into trivial things like TV, Baby Einstein DVDs, a million kid activities (like soccer) flash cards, and trying to force really young children to sit in day long in preschool programs (with the hopes future academic advantages).

Trelease tells us what every parent should know: the most important thing is to spend quality time with kids. Read to them and tell them stories. He spends much time explaining the perils of early age TV viewing (especially when TV is over-prescribed, 2 hours + per day).

He also warns against trying to create an early reader. Children are better off (according to the book) spending the early years (0-5) listening to books, rather than trying to read boring "See Spot Run. See Jane Run" type books (I was appalled to see that these books are still sold: they turn people away from reading).

Finally, Trelease gives a really nice, quality reading list (with reviews) of great read aloud books. I particularly found his lists on chapter books, for 4 year olds and pre-kindergartners, to be a helpful beginning to read aloud chapter books.

He indirectly points to a another problem: forcing preschoolers to adhere to structured learning routines at the expense of building creativity. In other words, it is better to let a child play, listen to stories, and explore; rather than sit in a classroom setting designed for children much older. For more on these ideas, see another good book that has a similar philosophy: "Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: How Our Children Really Learn-- And Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less" by Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, Diane Eyer, Roberta Michnick Golinkoff.

It is worthwhile to read "The Read Aloud Handbook" if you are a parent, grandparent, or teacher.

This is the book! What's more important than reading?!

This book is appropriate for every caring parent. I am a homeschooling mother of three and I can't recommend it highly enough. After reading the library's copy I had to buy my own copy, plus several for friends and family members who have kids. It is full of high-quality info and ideas about reading to children, and about them ultimately reading to themselves. There is also an organized and valuable "recommended books" list in the back. Wonderful!

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Every child can become an avid reader, and this beloved, classic guide shows how to make it happen. Jim Trelease explains:

? How reading aloud awakens children's imaginations and improves their language skills
? How to begin reading aloud and which books to choose
? How to create reader-friendly homes, classrooms, and libraries
? How to lure children away from the television and video games

Jim Trelease has made reading aloud a special pleasure for millions of people. With this revised edition he offers a new generation of parents, teachers, grand-

parents, and siblings the chance to discover the rewards-and the importance-of reading aloud to children.
