2.2: Why children should be read to every day (1/2)

1. Story time

Things that are part of the rhythm of a child’s everyday life soon become a habit.
Everyone loves a good story. So, the easiest way to instil a reading habit in children is to use their love of stories.
When children are read to every day, they come to see reading as natural and something that people do every day – just like eating, sleeping and brushing their teeth!
Looking forward to story time is an important step in becoming a lover of books and a lifelong reader.

When children are read to every day, they learn that their lives include the pleasure and satisfaction of a good story.
