One of our favorite family activities is read-aloud time. It is part of our homeschool time, but also part of every vacation road trip. The key to making reading aloud enjoyable is to find good books to read. So today I’m going to share some of my favorite read-aloud books for kids that are fun for them to listen to and fun for you to read.
After years of read-aloud time I now find my three teenagers up in their room reading books aloud to each other. My heart is full…
Why Read-Aloud to Kids Who Can Already Read?
There are many reasons to continue read-aloud time long after your kids learn to read. Some of my biggest reasons for making this a regular part of our day:
- It builds their vocabulary.
My older girls are brilliant (seriously) but they still pronounce words incorrectly if they haven’t heard them before and have only read them in their head. - Teaches phrases, expressions, and idoms.
Kids are very literal and many times when they read books to themselves they skip over phrases that make no sense to them. You can pause your reading at any point and discuss parts that you think they might not understand. - Strengthens listening skills.
Every person on earth needs to learn how to listen better. Listening to stories regularly helps your kids develop the ability to listen intently so they don’t miss out on the story. - Teaches that reading is fun.
Many times kids will hesitate to pick up longer books or branch out of genres they enjoy. As you pick books you can find books you know they will love and slowly show them that day by day you can read all sorts of great stories!
Note: All of the links below will take you to Amazon, where you can find copies of the books in different formats (Kindle, paperback, hardcover, etc.), but my best frugal recommendation is to always check the library first! I even found that many of these are available through Hoopla and Overdrive (apps that are free through most libraries).
35 Best Read-Aloud Books for Kids
Pie by Sarah Weeks
A story about Alice and her search for a missing pie crust recipe and solve the mystery of what happened to her much loved Aunt Polly. We recently read this aloud and every person in the house stopped to listen (even Dad). We were laughing so hard we cried!
