One Good Book
The first step toward a life of avid and fulfilling reading begins with one good book.
Books are Perfect Toys
Children’s toys and books provide a reflection of what so many of us hope will be a new perspective on issues like race, gender, religion, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and more.
Let’s Change Parent/Teacher Conversations About Reading
Children’s daily engagements with books contribute to their language ability and eagerness to use books to explore the world beyond home.
Culture is Everything
When a family has a culture of reading—when family members choose to read books together with engaging content and rich vocabulary—they send a message to their children that books and reading matter.
One Language or Two or More?
When children navigate from one language to another, they develop the facility to be comfortable in encounters with those outside of their home communities.
Diversity is Valuable and Relevant
Parents and teachers can address diversity through books that offer culturally relevant content and perspectives different from our own.
Use Precious Moments to Boost Reading Fitness
Taking a few precious moments to read with children whenever possible can accumulate into a sizable boost in learning outcomes.
