The research is unanimous - children should be read to and read to often. Each of the curriculum include a "Book of the Week." Upon finishing an ABCJLM curriculum, your child will have been introduced to 28 of the top children's books according to ABCJLM users and our family. Activities are provided in each Lesson Plan to further the literacy learning.
Each book is linked to Amazon to allow you to view the book. Almost all of the books are available in different formats (i.e. hardcover, board book, paperback). Some stories have been written in various ways by different authors. Be sure you find the exact edition that you want.
Be sure to check out the ABCJLM Reading page for suggestions on how to read new and familiar books with your child as well as ideas on how to teach your child to read and create a home library.
