The U. S. Department of Education has declared that reading aloud is the single most important activity that parents can do with their children to ensure their future success, and that reading aloud should continue throughout the grades. Educators recommend that children, no matter what their age, read aloud to others regularly in order to build vital communication skills necessary to be successful in life.

Edu-tainment is a form of entertainment designed to educate as well as to amuse and is an innovative and creative way to get families engaged in a child’s learning. Playbooks® Reader's Theater is a great example of "edu-tainment” and very powerful in improving everyone’s reading skills.

Ideal for the typical family, StageBooks® Family Sets include 4 copies of the story that can be shared amongst even the largest family. Mini-Costume Kits (one costume per character) are available to purchase with most Family Sets. Additional single copies can also be purchased separately.

Why not offer parents of your students a means of helping their children and the school at the same time.
