OR before the child is born:)
-----Original Message----- From: brookenicole...@comcast.net To: mosaic@literacyworkshop.org Sent: Fri, Jul 24, 2009 4:22 pm Subject: [MOSAIC] Read Alouds (Brooke Harman) The power of reading aloud to children before they ever enter school is imense. There have been many studies done on this topic, most that I have researched was with infants and toddlers and outcomes of these children were far better?off then children who had no to little literacy experiences at home. Reading aloud should and must start when a child is born. There was much brain research done that related to the development of an infant's brain and by the time an infant is one they have mastered the sounds of their spoken language, so that is a perfect opportunity to be sharing with your child great literature. Also is it recommended by researchers that a minimum of three read alouds a day is needed. I am also researching this topic! :)? ?
