The Gift of {Reading}

“Children are made readers on the laps of their parents.”
 ~ Emilie Buchwald

The most precious part of my day …
– sitting with my five year old daughter, on this wintry, bitter cold winter afternoon, listening to her sound out letters and form words…

The magical and enchanting world of reading opening before her little eyes…
How I am grateful for this gift today.
“Reading aloud with children is known to be the single most important activity
for building the knowledge and skills they will eventually require for learning to read.” 
 ~ Marilyn Jager Adams
