Raising an Active Reader explains research on reading aloud with children who are in early elementary school (grades K-3). Upon completion, adults will know how read aloud works for children who are learning to read, and how the ABCs of Active Reading (Ask questions, Build vocabulary, and make Connections) build important reading skills.

Focusing on the learning process for young readers in grades K-3, this guide offers parents and teachers practical strategies to foster language development, comprehension, and vocabulary. With engaging examples and clear explanations, it presents creative ideas for read-aloud sessions designed to instill a lasting passion for reading in children.
