Here are 30 of the Best Read Aloud Books AvailableThese are "must read" books for every child."Foundational" Read Aloud BooksThe best Read Aloud books have the ability to engage your child's mind AND create a link between you and your child that will last forever. Read Aloud really takes off when your child doesn't want it to stop. That's when you know you've really got them! And, the best Read Aloud books do this, and more! The early years of a child's life are a critical time. It's during these early years that a child's identity, self-image, imagination, curiosity, vocabulary tools, background knowledge, and foundation for learning are developed. Read Aloud is a powerful tool that can be used to materially enhance all of these developmental characteristics. I believe there's a significant correlation between the quality of the Read Aloud books you select and the quality of your Read Aloud outcomes. Without a doubt, there's a long list of high quality Read Aloud books available for your ongoing Read Aloud use. And, that list keeps growing and growing on a near daily basis. However, certain books have grown to become what I consider "foundational" Read Alouds. These are books that I strongly recommend be included in your child's Read Aloud adventures. Please don't let your child leave childhood without the fond memories that can result from these wonderful "foundational" Read Aloud books. Give your child the charming graphics, the thought-building words and stories, and that powerful ingredient that pulls it all together, YOU! I've pared down my many lists of excellent Read Aloud books to come up with this collection. These are among "the best of the best" Read Aloud books. Please Note: These foundational Read Aloud books overlap various listening levels. I have intentionally NOT listed them according to any specific age groupings. Simply explore this list. Evaluate the free information available through the Amazon.com website. And, strive to include each of these books at some point in your child's Read Aloud development. As you explore this book list you'll quickly discover you have a variety of purchase options. You can buy new books or used books. You can buy hardcover, soft cover, board books or library bindings. Or, you can buy collectors editions, audio CD's, audio downloads, large print editions, VHS tape editions, combo books, and more. The choice is yours. One last point. Buy books in the format that you can most readily afford. There's absolutely no need to go overboard in terms of your book expenditures. A used book will generally deliver the same Read Aloud results as a brand new copy of the same book.
