Why Read Literature….“Reading takes our children into places
where their imaginations can soar, where they can problem-solve, empathize and gain insight into other times, places and cultures.” (Susan Hughes, Canadian Living)
“Children can enter into the minds of different characters and experience their points of view and motives, and the consequences that might result from their actions. “ (Barb Kissick, Canadian Living)
Inspiring our Children to Love BooksNever too early or too late to learn to
appreciate booksBest way to help children grow up with a love
of books and reading is to set an exampleMany experts encourage parents to read to
their babies while they are still in the wombContinue reading once the baby is born – it
will foster a love of books plus assist in development – language, emotional, social etc....
