Reading is essential! Learning to read provides children with a broader use of language.
Reading helps them in becoming independent, in everyday life. Being able to
read signs, warning labels, and just being able to keep up in the classroom are just a
few advantages of reading. I am often asked how can I get my child to read
better? The answer is simply read with them. Buy books cut back on some of their tv time, make it reading time instead. The fact is the more a child is
read to the more they will take interest in reading. They will begin to recognize words that will be memorized for life. They learn phonemes- sounds that help form words. Bottom line the more a child is either read to or reads on their own the better reader they become. Reading with your children also gives you, and your child precious time together.

ReplyDeleteReading is slowly becoming a lost art due to all of the advances in technology. However, it is an essential skill that is needed in life. I appreciate authors like yourself who focus on creating books that draw children back in to the art of reading and using their imaginiations!
ReplyDeleteReading, especially books that reflect a child's own life and the things they identify with, also helps children's self-esteem. Parents and guardians have the power to give their little ones such amazing gifts...just by picking up a book!
