Read Alouds for All Ages
|
Reading aloud to young children encourages language development and a love for
literature. It strengthens children's listening and speaking skills and stimulates the
imagination. As children mature, reading aloud serves to reassure, entertain, inform or
explain, arouse curiosity and inspire. Reading aloud is a wonderful family activity!
Parents--find old favorites and discover new ones to enjoy with your children.
