Eastern Daylight Time Subj: [MOSAIC] Read alouds My topic deals with finding out how crucial or important it is to start reading aloud to children before they enter school. Oh my yes!! it is of the utmost importance to start reading with kids as early as possible. It creates an unbelievable bond between mom and child, fosters the love of reading, and, in my opinion, gives them that all important "edge" before they begin formal education. I remember reading aloud to my soon to be 30 year old daughter when she was even less than 2 years old, and we used to have amazing conversations about the characters, problems, etc. To this day, she is an avid reader, and she recalls many of her favorite early childhood picture books. I should know--it cost me a fortune getting copies from second-hand dealers online! If I could be of any further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask. **************Dell Deals: Treat yourself to a sweet deal on popular laptops!
