Reading a Book Without Words

One of my fave blogs, is A Well Read Child. Today's post was very interesting and wanted to make sure all the mommies saw it!

READ TO ME!!!

Last night was our last night of the reading program at the library. As a parting gift we got an extra book call Read To Me Raising Kids Who Love To Read by Berince Cullinan. I could not have asked for a better learning tool! Things you don't really think about when it comes to learning to read. " A child is less able to understand a word he/she comes across while reading that he or she has never heard. Understanding new words in spoken language helps a child understand them when reading. If a child has never heard the word earthquake the child is not likely to recognize it or readily understand it when facing it in a book"
I NEVER thought about such a thing but it so much makes sense in every way! I recommend the book highly! As the teacher of the program stated at each meeting " It is never too early or too late to start reading to your child!"
