Families and Books Vineland Public Library Children's Department Families and Books Prepared by Barbara Capoferri for the Vineland Public Library Studies have shown conclusively that children who are read to become readers. When reading to your children, try the following guidelines so that the experience is enjoyable to the whole family.
Children learn by example.
Show them that you are a reader by reading something. Newspapers, magazines, comics or the back of the cereal box, everything counts. Share what you read. Tell them about stories that you read. Or talk about the stories you liked as a child.
