Publisher's Synopsis
How do children become good readers? In READING TOGETHER, educational consultant, Diane W. Frankenstein, shares the secret: guiding children to find an appropriate book and talking to them about the story helps them understand and enjoy what they read. This engaging guide gives advice to parents, teachers, librarians and carers on how to help children find what to read and then, through conversation, how to find meaning and pleasure in their reading. With more than 100 great book recommendations for kids from Preschool to primary, as well as related conversation starters, READING TOGETHER offers a winning equation to turn children into lifelong readers. Some of the award-winning books discussed include Betty G. Birney's World According to Humphrey, Gennifer Choldenko's Notes from a Liar and Her Dog, and David Shannon's Bad Case of Stripes.
