Reading is an important part of learning. And reading well will encourage your kids to learn more and do better in school. By choosing good books, which will provide quality content and a way for your kids to make use of their imagination, and even expand it, you will provide your children with some of the best way to learn.
It is important for parents to get involved when it comes to children education. Did you know that your child was more likely to read a book, and can progress faster if you spend the extra time to sit and read a book with them.
Reading aloud is also a great way to improve reading skills faster. It not only force the child to read every word, but also allow the parent to ensure that their child is reading correctly and understands each word.
There are tons of books out there, but choosing the right book is not always easy. Choose your book based on your children interest and age. If you choose a book that is too difficult to read (for example, choosing a book recommended for 9 and older to a 4 years old child) can discourage them from reading.
To help you choose good books for your kids, we put together a list of 20 good books for children. These are some of the best books for children and are part of a 2007 survey by the National Education Association – a large professional organization which represent school teachers and other support staff.
