Sometimes authors, publishers, or parents whose kids use PicPocket Book Apps ask me if I think that book apps will eventually replace print books. I always answer no, that book apps are supplements, not replacements for traditional books and the valuable time parents can spend reading with their children. Plus, how do you build a Lego battle station on your bed with apps?
We all probably have a good idea of why reading aloud to children is important and positive.
But in case you weren’t sure, or are still curious, this great article, Best Read Aloud Books For Kids, goes over all the benefits. It includes tips for reading out loud, plus book recommendations both by age group and by subject (including two of my favorites, “Make Way For Ducklings” and “My Father’s Dragon”).
A great resource! Short and sweet, too.
