I think it is critical to read to young children, so they can discover the love of books. It’s one of the greatest gifts any parent or relative can give to the children in their lives. The love of reading is instilled at an early age and opens up doors for the child’s entire lifetime.

A love of reading is so important to our appreciation of the world and all it’s riches. We can travel anywhere in our books, we can learn about other cultures and appreciate other views of life and living. My daughter never cared to read for pleasure, but my granddaughter loves her books and is a great reader and it fills my heart with joy.

Reading with your children is essential in my family because I love to read and I want my children to also love to read. I buy many books and strew them throughout the house so something will interest them. I feel you can learn more through reading than any other way. It opens the mind to new ideas and thoughts.

When you read with your child you can feel their anticipation, their curiosity and togetherness plain and simple. We rush around doing the daily grinds but sometimes the simple things in life is most needed to bring a family together, sitting down and reading a book. Plus technology gadgets gets in the way, reading soothes the soul.

When my son was little I always read to him. Then has he got into school, I had him read to me. Now, with him grown, I read to my great-nephew that I babysit. I think the key to getting a child to develop a love of reading is finding out what captures their imagination. My son hated the reading assigned in school, I figured out that it was because he could read above that level and it bored him. The teacher was great and worked with us so that he could do the assigned work but still read harder stories. Read to children when they’re young and develop a lifetime of love for books!

Today, parents are so busy with life that conversations around the dinner table just don’t happen. Making time to read with, and to, children gives a new opportunity to make real world connections, share memories, and just cuddle. As the first teachers, parents who share a love of reading with their children are helping to build lifelong readers.
