It’s not the number of books you’ve got that matters, it’s how much you love them that counts.
Young children are wired to thrive on repetition. They beg for their favourite stories and poems. “Please read 'Room on the Broom'. Do your funny voices. Please, please, please!”
The more you hold back, the more they beg.
The more you read it, the more they love it.
They copy your emphases, silly voices, crazy actions. You won’t have to beg them to read at home, they’ll beg to borrow the book. |
