Bigger Than Books: Strategies for Interactive Reading

Bigger Than Books

Children are fascinated by stories, and reading aloud to them can set the stage for a lifelong love of books. Bigger Than Books demonstrates how adult–child read-aloud times help children learn important literacy skills.

Two complete programs—Read to Me! and Once Upon a Time—offer guidelines for making stories come to life at home and in the classroom.

With strategies for reading aloud at home and suggestions for making stories come alive in the classroom, this valuable resource shows:

• how being read to fosters a love of books
• how reading aloud helps children develop language and literacy skills
• how children who have been read to are most likely to succeed in school
• basic guidelines for making read-aloud time stimulating and fun

Ideal for parent education classes, workshops , preservice, and inservice, this helpful  DVD also comes with an accompanying Viewer's Guide and Facilitator's Guide. For adults who work with children ages 1–8.
