We all hope and expect our children will learn to read, but how many of us realize we can get our kids on the road to reading simply by reading aloud to them every day? With passion and humor, Mem Fox explains why reading aloud to young children has such an impact on their ability to read - and on their entire lives.

Writing as an ordinary mother as well as a best-selling author and internationally respected literacy expert, Fox explores when and where to read aloud and demonstrates with clear, easy-to-follow examples how to read aloud to best effect and how to get the most value and joy out of a read-aloud session. Filled with practical advice, activities, and inspiring true read-aloud miracles, this audiobook is a must for every parent - and for anyone who would like to know more about how children learn to read.

Wow, just wow! This book has changed my view on reading forever. I was apprehensive at first but to be honest every single word made so much sense it was like something finally CLICKED in my mind and the world of reading fell into place. The purpose of this book and the message is so clear. I immediately implemented her methods at home and I am astonished at how seamless it was. I read a book to my 7 year old (a difficult book) and then she wanted to read it to me. I let her and I told her all the words she didn’t know to make the story move along and each time she reads it she knows more and more of the difficult words! Like “marvelous!” What a word for a kiddo just learning to read. She read the book over and over with my help and loved every second of it. This book changed my life!

Serious Eye Opener!

The research appears a little old, doesn't mention how much of negative influence phones and iPads are etc.

It's a good book but appears dated a little bit.
