Book Reviews of The Read Aloud Handbook: 4th Edition
Book Review: THE Reference Book To Raise a Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
I first discovered the 1985 edition of Jim Trelease's book <BR> and ever since then have snapped up every edition. <BR> "The Read-Aloud Handbook" is my baby-shower gift, always -- I let others bring diapers and toys and clothes for the baby's body -- <BR> this book will care for the baby's mind. <P> "The Read-Aloud Handbook" very neatly and simply lays out the proof that reading aloud to children is the best way to get them to WANT to read -- not merely to <BR> think of books in association with school and dittoes and homework (as all too many children do, whose only recreational storytelling has come from a big glass box in the family room.) In simple, clear language, Trelease spends the first half of the book explaining the value of reading aloud, success stories, and practical tips on both reading aloud and curbing television usage. The second half of the book is a reference list of tested read-alouds, from board books for infants to novels for teens. <P> This is an invaluable reference book.
