How do parents teach children to WANT to read?
Read Aloud!
Reading aloud has vast educational benefits that support the “how” of learning to read, but it goes further to create a pleasurable connection to books and what they offer. It allows a parent to pique a child’s interests with entertainment, adventure and knowledge to stoke the fires of their enthusiasm and passion and show them what reading can actually mean – not just what the words say – it resonates. It establishes a reason to learn and the motivation to practice. This is what creates successful, lifelong readers! And this is what creates an enthusiasm for long term education and pursuit of knowledge!

IParenting.com review
“From and educator’s view, this product is wonderful. It is the perfect vehicle to encourage and develop fluency. Also, in the classroom, I utilize many books on tape or CD, but audio is not available for every book. There are many books that students love that we don’t have audio for and this product would not only allow audio and background music and sounds but will allow every child to contribute to the classroom library.”

“My child loved listening to their voice - very entertaining for sure. It was a nice bonus to have when Daddy was out late or not able to do bedtime story.”

“I would happily recommend this product and I think it would be a great gift idea marketed to grandparents who wish they could be there to read at bed time or for those who live far away etc. Would be a lovely gift to send a story they have recorded just for their grandkids.”
“It absolutely [entertained my child], they thought it was so neat to hear my voice without me actually reading the book to them live!”
“My child loved it. What a great way for me to be there, even though I'm not! Great for the nights that I am working late!”
“I liked the idea of adding sound effects and music to the stories and poems that our family already enjoys. It's a nice way of adding a spark to the tried and true books we already read.”
“My husband travels a fair bit and she enjoyed hearing him read her bedtime stories even while absent. Grandparents could also participate in the day to day story time which I think both parties would enjoy.”
