Reading with Ms. Meenu

Secrets to Successful Read-Aloud Experiences:

What do librarians look for when they are searching for books? How do they choose a suitable book on a particular topic? First and foremost, I always think about the children that come to my library. Every individual is unique in every class and as a whole has a distinct personality. Every child has his/her own choices. Here is the criteria to consider when selecting books:

· Rich Language

· Engaging, Diverse Characters

· Fascinating illustrations

· Thought-Provoking Themes

· Kid-Appealing content

· Original Premise

· Unique Perspective

· Horizon-Broadening Subjects

Rich Language:

When children are immersed in texts with rich language, they begin to use that language in their conversations and eventually in their writing. We have to always introduce our kids to all parts of a book that includes a foreword, introduction and glossary at the end of the book and lead it to further discussion about the wonderful world of words.

Happy Reading!
