- Once your family read-aloud is finished, share it with a friend and ask for their recommendations.
- The more you talk about books, the more you’ll learn about. Soon your To-Be-Read pile will be stacked high with new adventures.
- This includes: picture books, novels, nonfiction, biographies, comics, graphic novels, audiobooks, e-books, magazines, newspapers, even the back of the cereal box!
- By reading lots of different books, you’ll find the stories your family loves to share together.
- Don’t be afraid to put a book down. Really! If it isn’t the right fit for your family, there are plenty of other books to discover.
