It is common knowledge that reading children's books aloud could help pave the way to your child's future success. Picture books are imspiring for elementary readers who are just getting started. Following are a few hints to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented as well as fun.
1. Consider the varieties of books or subjects your child has been drawn to in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find interesting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their kids read. 3. Remember books you read as a child and consider whether they are compelling for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to suggest books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King awards. 6. Vary your suggestions and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
