Read-aloud
In shortRead-aloud is reading a book out loud to a child - one of the most effective ways to build early language, vocabulary and a love of books.
Reading aloud builds listening comprehension and vocabulary long before a child can read independently, and the shared time matters as much as the words.
A book where the child is the hero pulls them into read-aloud time - they want to hear what happens to them next, which is why personalized stories become the one they ask for nightly.
