Great read-aloud
books
S
everal organizations actively
encourage adults to read to
young children. Next Generation
has an initiative named "Too Small to
Fail" to help close the "word gap" that
exists by the time children reach kindergarten. Children who have not been
read to (or talked to or sung to) often
arrive at school having heard 30 million
fewer words in their vocabulary than
peers who had parents or grandparents
who regularly read or engaged in conversation with them.
Some books they recommend to get
your grandbaby started on a life-long
love of reading include those pictured
and:
Happy Baby Words
Kitten's First Full Moon
Good Night Gorilla
Knuffle Bunny
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Harold and the Purple Crayon
The I Love You Book

If you are wondering about
something related to your new
GRANDbaby or GRANDbabyto-be, we'll find the answer. Contact
editor@grandmagazine.com with
your question. Here's what one
Grand was wondering:
Q: At what age do babies actually begin to like stories? When I try
to read to my very young granddaughter, she touches the book,
pats it, pushes it away, or doesn't
seem to care about what's in it.
A: It's true that young babies
aren't ready to pay attention to an
actual story. They'd just as soon
chew on a book as read it. But you
can help keep them engaged by
pointing at pictures, repeating the
names of objects in varying pitch
and tone. Don't worry if the story
gets lost at first. Around age one,
many babies start liking to turn the
pages and "read" page after page.
Also, pay attention to your grandbaby's mood; a baby who has had
enough will look away, turn away,
or fidget and fuss.
