When is the right time to start reading with your child? It is when they are unborn or infants. How? By read alouds! You can read anything to babies and you are guaranteed not to hear any complains. Any book is a possibility but the best story ever told is the Bible.
The best way to raise a reader is to be an example. Begin by reacquainting yourself with books. Make time for reading! There are so many books available where do we start. Here's a short list of 20 books to read this year. Remember exposing children to diversity in books will help prepare them for a diverse world.
