Great books for reading aloud -
These are wonderful books for sharing for 0-14 year olds - and adults too! Read aloud for as long as they will let you. Listening to stories provides a rich experience for every child, allowing the listener to encounter a wide variety of words and extended sentences, rhythm, rhyme and grammatical features. The imagination is stimulated, empathy with other people and creatures is encouraged, and it’s fun, and makes for great family relationships - it’s a lovely way to spend time together.
