"Winner of the iParenting Media Award Decades of research have proven the value of reading aloud to children, and the years between birth and age two are arguably the most crucial for language development. As a parent, it's important that you help your baby acquire the foundation they need to speak earlier, read on their own sooner, and benefit from an increased vocabulary and attention span. Baby Read-Aloud Basics shows you how to establish an effective daily read-aloud routine to take charge of your baby's future understanding and success. Organized around the six stages of early language development from birth to age two, the book provides simple but effective techniques to help you: * Make reading aloud an interactive experience-from intonation and speech patterns to gesture. * Select what to read aloud by looking at how much the text of the book repeats, whether it rhymes, and the types of interactive elements it incorporates. * Know when to read and how often in order to create a reading routine that's both enjoyable and effective. * Ensure your baby gets the right amount of language from a nanny or a caretaker. * Effectively incorporate reading in a bilingual home. Filled with step-by-step instructions, scripted demonstrations, and a list of recommended titles, Baby Read-Aloud Basics gives you all the guidance and information you need to instill a lifelong love of reading and learning, and start your baby along on the road to success."

“Baby Read-Aloud Basics lays a road map for nurturing language development – from birth – with books. And by extension, attention span and memory also benefit. Baby Read-Aloud Basics lays a road map for nurturing language development – from birth – with books. And by extension, attention span and memory also benefit....There are three books new parents should have: one about baby health, one about baby sleep patterns and the third is Baby Read-Aloud Basics . I like it that much.”

Review
"If I were in charge of American parents, my first law would be that all new parents had to read (or listen to) this book. It's not only soundly researched, but also filled with practical strategies that any parent can use." -- Jim Trelease, author of the million-copy bestseller The Read-Aloud Handbook, now in its sixth edition

Somehow repetitive and not as complete as Reading with Babies, Toddlers, and Twos,
This review is from: Baby Read-Aloud Basics: Fun and Interactive Ways to Help Your Little One Discover the World of Words (Paperback)
When I purchased Baby Read-Aloud basics, I had already read Reading with Babies, Toddlers and Twos and was hoping to complement my reading on the subject of baby books and read-alouds. I personally thought this book was not as helpful or complete, nor did it have as many book suggestions as the first one mentionned above. Still, this book is pretty good. It gives a few suggestions of books for every baby stage, what to do with that book, reading techniques, literacy games, and contains some interviews with parents who went through the read-aloud from birth experience. It is kind of repetitive but easy to read and well organized.

A must have book,
By DJ's Treasures (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Baby Read-Aloud Basics: Fun and Interactive Ways to Help Your Little One Discover the World of Words (Paperback)
I originally purchased this book for a gift for my son and daughter-in-law expecting their first child. I am a Kindergarten teacher and have now purchased two extra copies...one for my personal and professional growth and one to have on my parent resource shelf at school.
This is broken down into six stages of reading aloud to your baby and the benefits this will give for a lifetime. Photos are included to illustrate what the authors are expressing. Broken down into expectations of listening, verbal, visual and motor skills. Lots of books are suggested. I would suggest this book for new parents, grandparents, educators and anyone interested in seeing your child grow into a great reader. A great reader begins with someone reading aloud to them.

This review is from: Baby Read-Aloud Basics: Fun and Interactive Ways to Help Your Little One Discover the World of Words (Paperback)
Very well organized for parents with young children of all ages -- started our infant at one week and by week seven he was focusing on black and white book series and now at week 12 he is grabbing for pages and is truly engaged! As new parents we are excited to see him grow into each level of read aloud and enjoy spending this quality time together. Recommend this book highly as well as the the wonderful book recommendations that are provided by the authors.
