Read-aloud time is key to building strong readers by sharpening their reading comprehension, improving how they process information, and expanding their vocabulary. It also helps foster their love of reading — and brings your family together through shared stories!
According to the 7th edition of the Scholastic Kids & Family Reading Report, more than 80 percent of both kids and parents love or like read-aloud time a lot, and even more say that it's special time with each other.
This collection of classics and new favorites make for the perfect read-alouds to share together as a family. For instance, Our Table is a tender story about multi-generational love and special family traditions like sharing meals. Meanwhile, The Three Billy Goats Gruff is a hilarious twist to a classic tale packed with whimsical twists and comical rhymes.
