Many Types of Read Aloud books to Choose From

There are many types of books. The key point when deciding what types of books to choose is: Introduce children to a variety of books. In this way, we widen their horizons. Here are some book types to consider.

story books

When most dads think of reading aloud, they think of story books. These come in many types including folk tales, fairy tales, series about one character, adventures, mysteries, scary stories, and tales of growing up.

What about comic books? Don’t say no to comics without looking at some. Many people who today are excellent readers, as well as some famous writers, started off reading comics. What is good about comics? The pictures help children understand the words, the exciting plots motivate children to want to know what comes next and the fact that most comics come in series, such as Spiderman, gives children much more to read after they finish one comic book. Wan Inn’s son Julian took a big step toward learning French by reading the French version of the Astrix comic book series.

Yes, there are some junk comics, full of violence and other types of content may not want children to be reading. However, many other types of books (not to mention movies and television programs) contain the same type of content. At the same time, many educational texts can be found in comic book form.

Also, just because a book has drawings does not necessarily mean the book is easy to read. Comic books and other illustrated book can be for older children and adults. For example, the main character in Kayla & the Magical Tree is a pre-teen, and the book’s themes are probably beyond the comprehension of younger children.

Wordless picture books

Who says that a book needs words? Babies, toddlers, and even older children can enjoy books with only pictures or just a few words. Talk about the pictures. Make up your own stories. Also, many picture books are made of child-proof materials, such as heavy cardboard, that little hands can’t tear. Plastic picture kids books are great for reading in the bath!

The January Green and Gold Mystery $4.99 The super-sleuth: Bethany Graham: Beth lives with her mother, Bridget Graham, a single parent. A loner, precocious, “almost fourteen”, as she keeps telling everyone, Beth is very sensitive about her height and size (she feels she’s built like Fort Knox). A computer whiz and a word collector, she loves reading. Beth is very close to her mother, but there are times when she wishes Bridget would remember that they live in a democracy. How could Mama arrange an after school Math tutor for Beth, without even discussing the matter with her first? Worst of all, the tutor she’s picked is their neighbor’s mother from India. When the other kids see Mrs. Naidu in her sari, they are going to die laughing; and Beth’s going to die from embarrassment. Desperate to have company in her misery, and to keep word about her strange tutor from spreading, Bethany tells Cody, her good friend, that she and Mrs. Naidu have formed a secret “Mystery-Solving Club”. Gullible Cody begs to join “the club.” Soon all of Bethany’s friends are members. Then, out of the blue, a burglary occurs nearby that no one can solve, and all of the tutoring group work together, with the help of Mrs. Naidu, to figure it out. Geeta Kakade is a writer with considerable experience who writes a flowing, likable piece with a variety of characters. Mrs. Naidu is especially believable, as the logical ’sleuth’ behind the teens’ snooping. She is their inspiration and their guide. For a book that will appeal to a wide variety of ethnic groups and types of readers, this mystery is a fun read, and teaches a bit about cooperation and persistence! This book makes an excellent addition to our new ByteMe Line of books for teen-readers.
