"The fire of literacy is created by the emotional sparks between a child, a book, and the person reading."
Mem Fox, Reading Magic
Reading aloud to children is probably the second most important thing that you can do for them, and THE most important thing to help prepare them for school. It sounds simple, and it is. This page is dedicated to helping parents understand the importance of reading to their children. The very first thing I intend to do is provide you with a link to Jim Trelease's Home Page. In my book, Jim Trelease is the read aloud guru. Please visit his web site often.
