Grounded in the latest neuroscience and behavioral research, and drawing widely from literature, The Enchanted Hour explains the dazzling cognitive and social-emotional benefits that await children, whatever their class, nationality or family background. But it's not just about bedtime stories for little kids: Reading aloud consoles, uplifts and invigorates at every age, deepening the intellectual lives and emotional well-being of teenagers and adults, too. Meghan Cox Gurdon argues that this ancient practice is a fast-working antidote to the fractured attention spans, atomized families and unfulfilling ephemera of the tech era, helping to replenish what our devices are leaching away. For everyone, reading aloud engages the mind in complex narratives; for children, it's an irreplaceable gift that builds vocabulary, fosters imagination, and kindles a lifelong appreciation of language, stories and pictures. Bringing together the latest scientific research, practical tips, and reading recommendations, The Enchanted Hour will both charm and galvanize, inspiring readers to share this invaluable, life-altering tradition with the people they love most."--Amazon.com. 541 $d 20200220. 650 1 $a Reading $x Parent participation. 650 $a Children $x Books and reading. 650 $a Oral reading. 650 $a Oral reading. $v Psychological aspects. 650 $a Oral reading. $x Social aspects. 941 $a 11 952 $l AFPD266 $d 20221119010044.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924015907.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20210227010847.0 952 $l LHPD057 $d 20210125143904.0 $m 372.45 GUR 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20200903013224.0 952 $l TVPD862 $d 20200902142522.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20200804022435.0 952 $l NVPB663 $d 20200728010615.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20200707011433.0 952 $l NCPC953 $d 20200507010549.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20200506010235.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DF5EC1B28F5E11EA85D6103997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
