The Importance of reading to Our Children
A good book has the power to extract you from this world and take you into another. Now, imagine giving our young children the opportunity to do that every night! THAT IS PRICELESS!!!
The first and most vital thing our kiddos start learning within their instructional journey is print; the alphabet: vowels and consonants. These make up phonemes, which in turn make up syllables and in turn words! It is trough words and life experiences that they are able to know the world around them.
In addition, reading to our children allows us to develop a strong bonding opportunity with them. It becomes quality time and a connection between us, them, the world and knowledge we are sharing with them during that time. While that takes place they feel, loved, cared for, secure, encouraged to learn and allowed to dream!
As parents it is our responsibility to direct our children in the right path. That is the path of education, learning, encouragement to do dream and want to do the impossible. When we show them how important reading and learning is, it becomes engraved in them. It is like a spark that lights up; a spark they will want to keep lit! Quoting one of my favorite authors, Dr. Seuss: “Oh, the Places you will go!!!”
