Hello,
Last week I wrote about parent talk during a story book read aloud to your child. Today I want to mention the expository book. This genre is sometimes overlooked when choosing a book to share with your child.
Expository texts have the benefit of pictures with labels, captions, keys and dialogue bubbles to help the young reader make connections between the words and the pictures. These features can be especially appealing to the young reluctant reader.
The story books and expository books are equally beneficial as texts to engage your young reader. As with everything in life, balance is the key.
Refer to my book list for kids for some nonfiction books you might enjoy, too.
Happy Reading,
Kathleen
