Bedtime Story!

A few days ago, I was at the mall. I decided to hit the toy store and check for some bedtime story books for my daughter Yasmine. The only story I could get my hands on was about a little mouse who found things she had been missing after she decided to tidy up her house. I had asked the worker to wrap it up as a gift. As soon as we got home, my husband and I, gave Yasmine the present and she was ecstatic! She opened it up so fast we all started laughing. As soon as she say it was a book she said "wow bedtime story!". From that instant she wouldn't stop crying she wanted to go to sleep just so we could read the story together.

My point behind this story is that we as parents should manifest the love of reading in our young ones as early as possible. Reading knows no age. The younger we start with our kids the stronger the love of reading becomes. The more they read for the joy of it instead of being forced to read like most kids these days are. We all know reading is what builds the language fluency and accuracy. It's through reading that students become better at a language. 

Speaking from my own experience, I loooooove reading! It's a way I escape all the stress of life and just have some peace to myself. I hope to pass this on to my own daughter and students in the future. If we allow kids to taste the joy of reading a book, we'll be giving them a treasure to hold on to a lifetime.

  2. Reading books and stories are very important especially in childhood, one of my daughters loves to read stories and write a summary for the story she has read.I realized that reading enhances the comprehension and imagination of children.

  4. Reading books and stories are one of the most important ways of introducing languages and cultures for our students and children. Though reading children and students get introduced to the world around them through learning new vocabulary and sentence structures.
