Read Aloud Books Girls Adore
What are the best read aloud books for girls?
Read-aloud time is so special. It’s the time when I truly feel connected to my kids with the scaffolding for big ideas and helpful information. I read to the girls in the morning before we start school and Mike reads to them at night before they go to bed. I’m always on the lookout for the best books! Since I don’t have any boys, I can’t speak to what they love but I can speak to what girls love!
Here is a list of awesome read aloud books girls love to listen to.
