學齡前兒童比任何年齡段的孩子都需要朗讀！
「Reading aloud is the foundation for literacy development. It is the single most important activity for reading success」 ~ (Bredekamp, Copple, & Neuman, 2000). 「It provides children with a demonstration of phrased, fluent reading」 ~ (Fountas & Pinnell, 1996). 「It reveals the rewards of reading, and develops the listener's interest in books and desire to be a reader」 ~ (Mooney, 1990).
孩子們通常可以聽懂高於他們閱讀語言水平的內容，所以朗讀可以使複雜的故事結構和內容更容易地被孩子們接受，反過來又有助於他們在閱讀書籍時理解書籍的結構和內容。其實任何年齡的學生都會得益於聽有經驗的朗讀者讀一本好書。
哪些書籍是可以用來與你的孩子一起大聲朗讀的呢？有很多方面需要考慮：你的孩子對書的主題或書中的角色有多感興趣；讀書時的環境是否適宜；時間段或情節是否合適；書中語言是否有活力或美麗；插圖是否具有吸引力；這所有的一切都應該考慮周全。對兒童在不同的生活階段對社會和情感的發展需求，都是可以找到適合的書籍來一起大聲朗讀的。

Kindergarteners — they're growing up, and so is their taste in books. They’re developing relationships with other children, acquiring empathy. Reading aloud to children lets them see how different characters in different situations behave toward others. It also helps children understand the way language works. They hear how sentences are put together, grasping the meaning of words either in context or when talking with the adult. Often these verbal exchanges extend beyond the book as children begin to relate what happens in books connects to their world. Children at this age can often listen to longer stories or hear chapters from longer books.
