It is clear that reading children's books aloud could help pave the way to your child's future success. Picture books are fun for early readers who are just starting their journey. Here are a few suggestions to help you select children's books and picture books that are educational as well as fun.
1. Understand the classes 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 meaningful. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Recall books you read as a child and consider whether they are compelling for your child. 4. Ask your librarian to give you a list of books. 5. Look at books awarded Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King awards. 6. Vary your recommendations and try different genres to hold your child's interest. 7. Make sure that the stories and illustrations present different issues in positive ways..
