Notes to Parents & Teachers

Children learn to read - and to love books - when adults share their own pleasure in reading and language. Here are a few suggestions for giving the children in your life a lasting love of reading.

Surround children with books and writing. Visit your library regularly, and make buying books a frequent treat. Put cloth and board books in the baby's playpen, and keep one or two books in the car for older children. Show children that words are everywhere - not just on the pages of a book, but also on cereal boxes, billboards, and street signs.

Read aloud. Read to children every day, and have older children read to you. They will associate the pleasure and intimacy of the reading experience with books.

Make reading an active experience. Use the books you've read as a jumping-off point for other discussions with children. Encourage children to share their own ideas and experiences through storytelling or artwork.

This book can be grouped with others about going back to school, first experiences, and childhood fears.
