This Tuesday Literacy Tip was inspired by a new series of books that I looked into this week.
"Read books that teach good morals."
Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of ALL kinds of books! Any book, magazine, blog, or subtitle that gets a child (or adult) reading is good enough for me! But there is something so special and meaningful about books that teach good morals.
One of my goals for starting this blog is to try to encourage reading to children (or with children) in the home. As a teacher I've seen this fall by the wayside in our busy home lives far too often- and it breaks my heart! So... I want to share practical solutions for increasing literacy activities in the home.
So here's your first Tuesday Tip! - Read to your children even before they can understand.
"Reading to children, even before they can understand words, teaches them to associate books with love and affection."
