Let's Get Ready For Reading: A Guide to Help Kids Become Readers

by Toronto Public Library (Creator)

From the earliest age, children respond to stimuli that prepare them to enjoy books and reading. This guide illustrates how parents and caregivers can foster a love of reading from the time a baby is born. Whether it’s listening to the rhythmic cadence of chants and nursery rhymes, looking at brightly colored pictures, or listening to stories, children learn to associate reading with the warm and happy experience of spending time with a parent, grandparent, or caregiver. Filled with rhymes, songs, and games, Let’s Get Ready for Reading provides tons of suggestions for engaging kids, from using different voices for the characters in a book to helping them recognize shapes in preparation for learning the alphabet. A look at developmental milestones helps parents adapt strategies to the age of the child, while dozens of recommended books take out the guesswork during the next visit to the library or bookstore.

Thanks to Netgalley for the preview.

I've found good this guide to help developing the pleasure of reading in children. The guide is intended for parents, the first great teachers of each child.
Inside it I've found interesting ideas for children that are 0-3 years old.
Speaking, reading together, singing and playing to build important pre-reading skills and reading pleasure.

Ho trovato buona questa guida per aiutare a sviluppare il piacere della lettura nei bambini. La guida è destinata ai genitori, i primi grandi insegnanti di ogni bambino.
All'interno ho trovato idee interessanti da proporre anche ai bambini 0/3 anni.
Parlare, leggere insieme, cantare e giocare per sviluppare le abilità necesssarie alla lettura e al piacere di leggere.

This book is really great for parents who want to know where to go with their toddlers. It helps parents find ways to use rhymes, songs, and games that will get their child reading for the next step of learning how to read.
