Everyone reveres children's books and picture books. Diane Speicher believes the popular ones carry a meaningful message that will stay with your child for his or her entire childhood, like Brighton: One Star's Journey to Shine. It is proven that reading children's books aloud can help pave the way to your child's life success. Picture books are ';ast for elementary readers who are just starting their journey. Following are a few suggestions to help you choose children's books and picture books that are learning-oriented as well as fun.
1. Think about the kinds of books or subjects your child has liked in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find meaningful. 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 recommendations. 6. Vary your choice and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
