“Read
your heart out!”
That's
the motto of this Book-It program, which offers an online
story every day this week! Today it's The House in the Night,
and the rest of the week includes The Emperor's Egg, The
Little Red Hen and the Ear of Wheat, and Epossumondas.
Each story is read aloud with music and sound effects, and the words
light up as they are read. The website also offers a “printable
pack” and “read and do activity” for each of these books.
Just
as there is a lot of variation about when kids learn to walk and
talk, kids learn to read at different ages. But even really little
kids can enjoy books. There are wordless books, and there books on
tape (and CD and computers and so on and so forth). Best of all in my
mind is read-aloud opportunities. Whether it's a little kid sitting
on his mommy's lap while listening to Are You My Mother? for
the four-hundredth time, or several kids in bed listening to their
daddy read The Girl Who Loved Wild Horses for the first
time—whether it's a librarian reading aloud Make Way for
Ducklings or an older child reading aloud The Monster at the
End of This Book—read-aloud sessions can be great fun for
everybody!
