Recommended Books for Kids In Kindergarten
By this age longer picture books with more involved themes are appropriate. You can also be reading chapter books aloud, a few chapters/day (* denotes chapter books). Pictures are not as important now since their mind’s eye is perfectly capable of creating imaginary images. Stimulating children to use their imagination is important.
