Recent studies show that reading has dropped substantially over the years. Experts believe this is because young people are less interested in reading for pure pleasure. To nip this unwholesome trend in the bud, some of the most talented storytellers came together in a meeting of minds. They offer a solution that would appeal to storytellers and, most importantly, young learners who comprise the bulk of the next generation of readers. All The Better To Read You With: Stories & Lessons to Inspire Reading for Pleasure by Chip Colquhoun and Rebekah Owen, with illustrations by Korky Paul, is the result, offering a beacon of hope for the future of reading and storytelling among young learners.

Rebekah Owen and Chip Colquhoun conduct a clinic in All The Better To Read You With. A captivating introduction outlines in detail the issues this book aims to solve, followed by short lessons that provide step-by-step guidance on how to achieve a long-lasting solution. Readers should be aware that this unique offering is an interactive workbook rather than your average read-along, which will be very helpful to educators who want to leave a lasting impression on their young students. The uses of the B, M, and E approaches to creating a functional masterpiece highlight the significance of story structure. The importance of nurturing curiosity in listeners stands out just as much as the alternative endings concept and will immerse youngsters. However, thoroughly explaining what makes a storyteller unique from a performer is noteworthy. In addition to being instructional, the vibrant illustrations and brief stories provide a helpful historical perspective on the genesis of several well-known children's fairytales, including the original Cinderella story. The authors can be sure that the pearls of wisdom they offer will transform the practice of leisure reading.
