Popular Read-Aloud Books the Whole Family Will Love

Aug 22, 2024

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.

Once you're done reading, keep the family fun going with the Let's Play! activity books and pair them with these free downloadable sheets
