Story Time

When I was a little kid my parents read to me every night before bed.

Of course I read to my own kids, too.

And, as a preschool teacher I often read to my students.

Years ago I read of a study where scientists tried to find out the best method for teaching reading. They interviewed the highest functioning students at the best universities in the USA.

To their surprise, the only thing those students had in common was that their parents read to them often when they were kids.

I’ve told this story before because I think it’s important for everyone to know they should read to young kids as much as possible.
