“It’s not about how many books children read, it’s about how many conversations
they have about them!” – Diane Frankenstein
Reading to our children is important but it is only one part of the equation, it’s the conversations
between adult and child that encourages children to get involved in the story that is
key. Questions and comments about a story model a way for children to think about a story and
encourage them to read for meaning. Children who better understand what they read find more
pleasure in reading.
Diane will model how to start a conversation about a story using Conversational Reading, a
reading comprehension strategy that makes reading an interactive experience.
Conversational Reading teaches children how to ask essential questions, make connections,
transfer knowledge, problem solve and to think creatively and critically. It also
supports intellectual and emotional growth
promotes language development
builds vocabulary
nurtures imagination
promotes focus and concentration and
builds a close relationship between parents and their children.
Speaker:
Diane Frankenstein
is a children’s literature specialist, educational consultant and the author of
the award winning book, READING TOGETHER, Everything You Need to Know to
Raise a Child Who Loves to Read.
