It is that time of year that we are thinking of gifts to give to our children.  Here are four simple “gifts” that Jim Trelease, a read-aloud expert suggests.

1.  A personal library card along with regular visits to

 the library

2.    A “book basket” to carry reading material from room to room.  Example:  Your child can take it into the kitchen while dinner is being prepared.

3.    A bedside light to encourage a little nighttime reading.  According to Trelease, “It’s probably the most important night school you child will ever attend.” 

4.  A stack of your child’s very own books to collect

and read again.
