Reading to Your Little Gem

We all know that reading to our little gems is important, but who knows just how important? I mean, half the time they're flipping through the pages faster than you can get a word in. Reading Magic, by celebrated children's author Mem Fox, is amazing! This book will give you tips on how and when to read to your child. She also explains what a difference reading aloud will make in your child's ability to learn to read later on.

If you do read this book, don't be intimidated...some of her suggestions are a bit much...ie, reading a new book to your child everyday!!! Anyhow, this book is a great tool to unlock the power of reading!

**FYI: Only the first half of this book relates to reading to very young children. The 2nd half of the book is more focused on preschoolers.
