"Is there one single factor which indicates how well a child will do with reading when they start school?"
I put this question to a senior teacher shortly before his
retirement. Without pausing to think he answered,
"The involvement of parents."
Paul Jennings author of
The Reading Bug and how to help your
child catch it. page xii
" Literacy skills start developing the moment we're born, and it is literacy that enables a person's ability to participate in society."
Timothy Shanahan Chairman of "The National Early Literacy Panel and a member of the "National Reading panel" (U.S.A)
If parents understood the huge educational benefits and intense happiness brought about by reading aloud to their children and if every parent- and every adult caring for a child read aloud a minimum of three stories a day to the children in their lives, we could probably wipe out illiteracy within one generation.
