The Read-Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease

Trelease, Jim. The Read-Aloud Handbook: Seventh Edition. New York: Penguin Books, 2013. 351p.

This is a must-read for all parents, parents-to-be, educators, and administrators!!! In this essential guide, Jim Trelease highlights decades of research from across the world leading to an extremely significant conclusion-  Reading to a child daily from birth through teenage years is the most important factor in raising a reader and a successful citizen.

While sharing inspirational studies and anecdotes, Mr. Trelease offers practical tips, answers to parents' and educators' questions, views on digital reading/ learning and a ready-to-use treasury of wonderful read-alouds. The treasury serves as an outstanding starting point for parents and educators as they begin their daily read-aloud journey with the children in their lives. As adults and children become accustomed to this daily routine, they will find that they are becoming book experts themselves and can supplement the list with their own books matching their specific interests!
