Are children reading enough? Not according to most parents and
teachers, who know that reading aloud with children fosters a
lifelong love of books, ensures better standardized test scores,
promotes greater success in school, and helps instill the values we
most want to pass on.
Esme Raji Codell--an inspiring children's literature specialist
and an energetic teacher--has the solution. She's turned her years
of experience with children, parents, librarians, and fellow
educators into a great big indispensable volume designed to help
parents get their kids excited about reading.
Here are hundreds of easy and inventive ideas, innovative
projects, creative activities, and inspiring suggestions that have
been shared, tried, and proven with children from birth through
eighth grade.
This five-hundred-page volume is brimming with themes for
superlative storytimes and book-based birthday parties, ideas for
mad-scientist experiments and half-pint cooking adventures, stories
for reluctant readers and book groups for boys, step-by-step
instructions for book parades, book-related crafts, storytelling
festivals, literature-based radio broadcasts, readers' theater, and
more. There are book lists galore, with subject-driven reading
recommendations for science, math, cooking, nature, adventure,
music, weather, gardening, sports, mythology, poetry, history,
biography, fiction, and fairy tales. Codell's creative thinking and
infectious enthusiasm will empower even the busiest parents and
children to include literature in their lives."
