The Importance of Reading Books to Children
Saturday, August 10, 2002
It is surprising but true; in today’s technology-dependent world, little focus is being placed on the importance of reading to kids. Getting children book selections and reading to kids is important now if the children are to develop a desire for reading in the future or for the long term. Kids books and reading are a vital component for brain development too; the more a child reads, the easier it is to learn new material and to assimilate it into his or her learning.
Book reading is definitively an important factor in every child’s life. Book reading opens new doors for children allowing them to explore other parts of the world, new ideas, new concepts, new cultures, and novel innovations. Reading to kids when they are young instills the joy of discovery in children and encourages children to want to learn and/or to read more in later years. Kids books are filled with wonderful tales, characters, and adventures: these are memories that kids will have for the rest of their lives.
Book reading teaches children how to do new things, how to handle life situations, how to develop morals, and how to forever remain curious about the world. Parents that are reading to kids are giving their children a vital educational gift since a lifelong love of reading can make the child’s life more successful, happy, and full. While it is true that the Internet is becoming a learning resource for children, it is equally true that a good reading ability is needed to actually harness the educational offerings on the Internet. Thus, book reading should come first, and an appreciation of the Internet and technology should come second.
Kids books are inexpensive, and a visit to the library can result in access to a free book to read, so there is no reason why parents should not be reading to kids. It is possible to get a children book title right online too; there are many free classical kids books online which can be read directly from the website or which can be downloaded into an eBook reader for reading enjoyment. Still, nothing beats the moment when parents share quality time with their children reading to kids in person. The act of reading to kids becomes a way to develop a close parent child relationship while simultaneously promoting a love of reading.

If you are a university student (or if you are a full teacher, most universities will allow their alumni on the journal search portals), use your university library journal base (WilsonSelect, etc.) to identify journal articles on parent roles in reading skill acquisition (e.g. reading daily to child, pointing out and using environmental print together consistently, etc.). Most of the information out there is in peer-reviewed journals. Also, try the links below for general information. Good luck!

I cannot agree more with you….my Father forced us to read when I was small, we were also a family of readers. I love reading and later because I read so much, I could read extremely fast. It helped me so much in my life. Because I could read so fast I could study much faster than other students at Varsity…I have also introduced my little daughter to the "art" of reading. It is quite sad because it seems to me children do not read as much today, too much TV, PS 2 and 3, computers. Also the Public Libraries are getting such small subsidies, the quality of the books are so old and tatty. I have collected about 3 000 books, a mini library of my own. I love second hand bookshops, jumble sales with books etc. I cannot wait to introduce my 9 year old to all my treasures when she gets older.

the philosophy section is for people to share ideas and thoughts
hell, people can even come here and ask what a quote out of their textbook means, but to get us to finish questions 1. a), b), c) and so on is not only plagiarism, nonacademic (for you wouldn't be learning anything, which is the point of school) but also impractical.
because if you're not willing to do it for your own grade, you think someone else is going to do it for fun? and I've never seen anyone here actually help out someone who's come with questions like that. they always give answers like the first answerer.

The Writers Handbook would list those magazines that will accept and what the requirements are for submission.
I would also check out (if you haven't already) the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
They can offer a world of help.

It depends on your goal I think. I'm assuming you mean right before school? If the purpose is to get them in a good frame of mind for learning then – books. It is hard to keep elementary (and older!) student "quietly socializing". They generally don't have the self-awareness to keep it quiet unless an adult reminds them.
If the purpose is to let them let off steam before school then socializing is good if it is transitioned well.

I really suggest anything by Shakespeare, Austen, and Sophocles. If you can squeeze some Dostoevsky and some really popular classics such as Lord of the Flies and 1984 you should be good.
The most important thing is getting at least 3 novels and/or plays pretty much memorized in regards to the themes/symbols/characters and so on. I wrote a bunch of practice essays out and in about 9/10 of them I was able to use either Macbeth or Hamlet, and any of the other essay questions I could have used Pride and Prejudice, Lord of the Flies, or The Great Gatsby.
I think above all though I would recommend a Shakespeare play. There are so many themes crammed into those little things that you can whip them out for pretty much anything AP wants to throw at you. Good luck!
