Read to children - Early childhood literacy


One early literacy skill every child needs to learn is book knowledge and appreciation. My granddaughter Siobhan is learning that now and I am anxious to help her in the future by reading to her whenever I can. Story times, checking books out and having lots of reading materials around the house are all things you can do to provide a literacy rich environment for children. Reading to children is one of the best things you can do for their future learning and we have many great resources available through the NCRL. Take a child to storytime or to the library to check out a book or read one of your favorite books to a child. It's fun and you'll both enjoy it!

This is so true. Children NEED books in their lives. This is a mission that parents cannot fail at and it is our prayer that they are diligent.
