Read With Me!

You read to me, I’ll read to you is a four books series written by Mary Ann Hoberman. Besides the simple rhymes, delightful stories and funny cartoon-style illustrations, these books also include the fun of reading with a partner! With these fun and interactive books, reading becomes playtime!

Here is how to use these books: you and your partner (mom, dad, sister/brother, a friend, a teacher, etc.) take turns reading according to the color of the text. When you get to the color blue, you read together! Try these books: You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Stories to Read Together, You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Fairy Tales to Read Together, You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Mother Goose Tales to Read Together, and You Read to Me, I'll Read to You: Very Short Scary Stories to Read Together. You will discover the joy of reading on every page!

Is there any better way to learn to read than by reading together with a partner? If you like the idea of reading with a partner, you may also like to check out a new service offered at the Children’s Department: Read with me! will be offered by Angela, a University Laboratory High School Senior, in the Children's department at 2:45 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

To earn her Girl Scout badge, Angela will be contributing her time this year to improving children's literacy. You can bring your own books or just show up and she will introduce you to good books from our collection.

Read with me! welcomes children 5th grade and under. You'll have lots of fun reading together with Angela!
