It is proven that reading children's books aloud will help pave the way to your child's ultimate success. Picture books are enjoyable for young readers who are just getting started. Following are a few suggestions to help you determine the children's books and picture books that are inspirational as well as fun.
1. Think about the varieties of books or subjects your child has enjoyed in the past as well as the kinds of characters, situations and topics he or she might relate to or find exciting. 2. Ask friends, relatives and people you trust what books their children read. 3. Remember books you read as a child and consider whether they are right 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 recommendations. 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..
