Today, societies place increasing demands on communication and linguistic competence, yet literacy among children is decreasing. Reading aloud is one way to address this challenge. Too often, it is seen only as a moment of relaxation before naptime. With intentional methods, it can instead become a rich learning opportunity that strengthens language, thinking, and social bonds.
The new handbook offers 20 practical methods to make reading aloud a purposeful part of early childhood education. It brings together contributions from 29 educators across 7 countries.
The handbook is available free of charge: http://bit.ly/46nzBVa
