By Jim Gibson, Canwest News ServiceProlific children's author Frieda Wishinsky is a great advocate for parents reading aloud to their children.
"I don't think it matters how you do it. What matters is what works," says the Toronto writer and former special education teacher.
Parents can discover what works for their child, she continues, by keeping "an ear to the ground. You have to know what's happening with your kid."
The child should be allowed to share in the reading or to just listen, she says. Parents risk turning the child off reading by being too technical about the process, according to Wishinsky. What's important is that the experience be pleasurable for both child and parent.
