A Book for Mother

READING MAGIC: Why Reading ALOUD to Our Children Will Change Their Lives Forever

Bestselling author and literacy expert Mem Fox reveals the incredible emotional and intellectual impact reading aloud to children has on their ability to learn to read.

She says, young children should be given every opportunity to hear stories read aloud, so that they can follow along with their eyes and see the words appear on each page without having to slow down and struggle to figure out each and every syllable on their own.

The author cites the three secrets of reading as the magic of print, the magic of language and the magic of general knowledge.

The author tells us that reading aloud at least three stories to your children every day, from infancy on, without fail, will give them an abiding love for books that will help them to tackle reading on their own.

The above are abstract of the book from various reviewers. We recommend the book to parents who are interested to help their children in learning to read.
