I just found this link<br /> <a href="http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/rah-treasury-intro.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.trelease-on-reading.com/rah-treasury-intro.html</a><br /> It's the list of books recommended by The Read-Aloud Handbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-reading-along#post-316520 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 00:50:45 +0000 softcream 316520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks, @mrbee! i was actually just about to bump this.</p> <p>just spent the evening with my 2 nephews (28 months and 39 months). i read to each of them separately.</p> <p>while i read to the younger one, he mostly played with his blocks by my side. when i asked if i should continue reading, he'd keep saying yes. so i'm pretty sure he was listening.</p> <p>when the older one came by, i let him choose a story. but he had lots of energy and wouldn't let me read past the first few words. so instead i let him flip through and make up stories for the pictures. we did this for a few stories before he lost interest.</p> <p>this is totally normal, right? it just so does not fit the image in my head of reading to kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-reading-along#post-316440 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:42:43 +0000 mrbee 316440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@softcream: The big problem early on was that Charlie kept trying to eat the books! After a while, that stopped... can't remember when though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-reading-along#post-304313 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 01:46:54 +0000 softcream 304313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So when did your LO transition from clawing at books and/or flipping pages at random to letting you read a whole story to them from start to finish? </p>
