ince writing
his million-copy bestseller, The Read-Aloud Handbook,
in 1982, Jim Trelease has traveled to all 50 states and
abroad, advocating the benefits of reading aloud to children.
IN doing
so, he's won the applause of both teachers and parents
for his pleas in behalf of literacy efforts that contain
less
"pain" and more focus on
turning books into friends, not enemies.
WHILE more
than 60 colleges use his Handbook as
a text for education students, Korean, Chinese, Japanese,
Indonesian, and Spanish editions now reach parents and teachers
worldwide, even inspiring the successful "All
of Poland Reads to Kids" campaign in Europe.
