Welcome to the R.E.D. Zone where “give me twenty” means minutes – reading minutes! Children who are read to on a regular basis show more interest in books, have a higher vocabulary, and learn to read more easily...and just 20 minutes a day is all it takes. Already putting in your twenty every day? There are still plenty of tools and resources geared towards building reading-readiness skills so hang around the zone and enjoy!

While it’s great to just cuddle up and enjoy a book, it’s also beneficial to know what an effective read-aloud looks like. It’s an interactive process with opportunities before, during, and after to further expand a child’s understanding about reading and print. Either way – for pleasure or for a purpose – you are making a difference every time you read aloud to a child.

Do you have all types of literature--alphabet books, nursery rhymes, picture books, folk and fairy tales and poetry--on the shelf? Are there any Caldecott Medal winners? What about informational or environmental print? Plenty of variety in multiple formats will satisfy the different interests and needs of your growing readers.
