It
starts early if you let it. the addiction, the vacant stare, the
cravings for more and more...so what is this supposed menace to
children? Reading! You are your child's first teacher and only you can
show he or she the joy that reading can bring to a life. Intellectual
curiosity, improved vocabulary, and a healthy imagination are just a few
wonderful byproducts of reading to or with your child.
At
the very youngest ages thick board books with simple pictures and only a
word or two on each page are perfect for standing up to drool and
familiarizing your child to the process associating words with visual
representations.
As they mature your child will enjoy narrative story telling - a plot with identifiable situations and actions and most importantly this will lead to them reading on their own.
An invaluable skill that begins with that one first book.
