Read Aloud: What's On Your Bookshelf?

The Primerrily Crew echoes President Harry Truman's belief that “Not all readers become leaders, but all leaders must be readers.” For that reason, the selections we read to and with our kids are not chosen lightly. We want our children not only to love reading, but also to love learning ideas -- true, good, and meaningful ideas. When you pick a book from Primerrily's bookshelf, you can trust that it’s been vetted for against the following standards:
Show main characters with desirable character traits
Present characters who work hard to overcome challenging circumstances
Possess a clear moral or lesson
Encourage kids to pursue further learning and/or take positive action
Provide discussion opportunities between reader and child about American values or traditions
