Reading Aloud To Young Children

6/25/2016

the importance of reading aloud for preschool and kindergarten
Reading aloud to young children is extremely beneficial to stimulating language development and cognitive skills.  It also promotes curiosity ... motivation ... and listening skills

When children are read to they develop a positive experience with books and reading that will carry on through their school years and beyond. One-on-one reading time with a parent or care provider also gives young children important bonding and nurturing time with adults.

Even reading aloud to young children for as little as fifteen minutes a day can provide many benefits that can not be gained through normal conversations or screen time.

Here are just a few of my favorite books to read to young children:

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
By Eric Carle

My Very First Mother Goose
Edited by Iona Opie

Is Your Mama a Llama?
By Deborah Guarino

Goodnight Moon
By Margaret Wise Brown

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
By Eileen Christelow

Guess How Much I Love You
By Sam McBratney

Dear Zoo
By Rod Campbell

In the Tall, Tall Grass
By Denise Fleming

Good Night, Gorilla
By Peggy Rathmann

Love You Forever
By Robert Munsch

The Snowy Day
By Ezra Jack Keats

Time to Get Dressed!
By Elivia Savadier

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
By Bill Martin, Jr.
