Hi Susan, Jim Trelease in his Read Aloud Handbook will provide plenty of research-backed reasons, but I like this best: "McDonald's. This fast food chain has been in business for almost a half century, and never once has it cut its advertising budget. Every year McDonalds spends more money on advertising than it did the previous year, which comes to more than $1 million per day just for advertising. McDonald's never thinks, "Everyone has heard our message. They should be coming to us on their own, instead of us spending all this money advertising." Every time we read aloud to a child or class, we're giving a commercial for the pleasures of reading."
