Time to Read Books

BOOKS

Books are the keys to new people, places, and ideas.

Here are some ideas to discover the adventure of reading!

• Get your child a library card. A library card is the
key that opens the door to
the world.

• Get the library's schedule of special events and story times. Help your child to decide which events and activities you will attend together.

• Read to your children daily. Make family reading a regular part of your family life.

• Read about your own culture and heritage. Share your own stories about your family and your own childhood. Read stories about other people's cultures as well.

• Fill your house with different types of reading materials— books, magazines, newspapers, etc.
