read-alouds
Reading aloud is SO important. It fosters many important reading skills even in infants! While just simply reading a text out loud to your child is perfectly fantastic, there are some strategies to reading aloud that can provide great benefits to children (improve literacy, comprehension, empathy, and many more). Now we don't all have time to prep a perfect read-aloud for every book we read--and that is TOTALLY okay! What I hope to offer here are some simple resources and techniques to help you enhance your read-alouds without any (or very little) extra effort on your part!
