Book Reviews of The Read-Aloud Handbook: Sixth Edition
Book Review: A Must-Read For Every Parent!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every parent and soon to be parent should read this book. I read this book when my first-born was an infant and found it so good that I made a note to myself to read it again when he turned 8.Book Review: Simple advice...Read to your children
Summary: 5 Stars
The research and explanations he gives for reading should motivate everyone to read. Funny thing is...the people who need to read this book probably won't because they don't like to read...so they don't read to children. Great points and goes hand in hand with information learned from college in the education department. Take the time to read to your kids...if you need drive to do it? Read his book. Highly recommend it! It will give your children a headstart in school! And Life!!!!!!!Book Review: There are so few "educational" books that are this much fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Any edition of this masterpiece is a must-have for any teacher, parent, or human being connected with reading in any way, shape, or form. Mr. Trelease presents a convincing argument for the importance (and joy!) of reading aloud, with plenty of case-studies and touching stories to give an emotional and logical edge.
Trelease says that reading aloud is something that should continue beyond the early childhood years of bedtime reading; just because a child can read on his own does not mean reading aloud is a bad thing--quite the opposite! Reading aloud is a pleasurable activity for people of any age. After all, who does not love to hear a good story? Reading aloud also shares a correlation with improved individual reading skills and overall intelligence. Maybe we can't prove anything, but there are absolutely no down-sides to reading.
This book extends the read-aloud concept to all aspects of learning, from childhood to special education.
Another bonus is a list of recommended read-aloud books.
This is a well-researched and very convincing book that is written with a sparkling syntax. Heck, it's just as fun and fascinating to read as anything else. Definitely a keeper.
Book Review: Another wonderful resource from Jim Trelease
Summary: 5 Stars
This newest edition of The Read-Aloud Handbook is every bit as well- written and chock-full of helpful information as its predecessors. Aside from the many great book reviews, it provides excellent reasoning and support for the practice of reading aloud to students -- all students. All English/reading teachers need to keep a copy handy.Book Review: Perfect baby shower gift
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third edition of Jim Trelease's Read-Aloud Handbook I have owned. It's an absolute must-have for any parent. As a busy, working mom, I appreciate all the research that Trelease has put in one place so that I can spend my evenings reading quality children's literature to my kids. My children are now 15 and 9 and are avid readers, and I attribute this to being read aloud to on a daily basis since birth. Since sometimes new parents aren't sure where to start when building their home library, I often give this book as a baby shower gift.
