Read Pam Allyn's posts on the Penguin Blog
The books to read aloud to children at the important moments in
their lives.
In "What to Read When," award-winning educator Pam Allyn
celebrates the power of reading aloud with children. In many ways,
books provide the first opportunity for children to begin to
reflectively engage with and understand the world around them. Not
only can parents entertain their child and convey the beauty of
language through books, they can also share their values and create
lasting connections.
Here, Allyn offers parents and caregivers essential advice on
choosing appropriate titles for their children--taking into account
a child's age, attention ability, gender, and interests-- along
with techniques for reading aloud effectively. But what sets this
book apart is the extraordinary, annotated list of more than three
hundred titles suitable for the pivotal moments in a child's life.
With category themes ranging from friendship and journeys to
thankfulness, separations, silliness, and spirituality, "What to
Read When" is a one-of-a-kind guide to how parents can best inspire
children through reading together. In addition, Pam Allyn includes
an indispensable "Reader's Ladder" section, with recommendations
for children at every stage from birth to age ten. With the
author's warm and engaging voice throughout, discussion questions
to encourage in-depth conversations, as well as advice on helping
kids make the transition to independent reading, this book will
help shape thoughtful, creative, and curious children, imparting a
love of reading that will last a lifetime.
