As my sons were growing, a night did not go by with out my husband or I reading to them, them reading to us and then the time came where they read on their own. Reading together are the best memories I have. <br />It has always been a natural thing for me to read out loud to children. For a long time, I thought it was they same for everyone. It was that they didn't see the sense or wanted to. It was a few years ago that I came to learn that many parents did not know how to read to their children. That is an area that I feel can be easily rectified through the help of teachers, librarians and other literacy advocates. There is a resource through the Greater Los Angeles Literacy Network called "MomsRead" that teach parents how to read to and with their children. I fear, the problem where parents don't feel reading is important is a far greater challenge.Ann Ungernoreply@blogger.com
