It is based on the conviction that parents are children's first and most influential teachers. If parents take pleasure in books, that pleasure will be conveyed to the child.
Infants are awesome learners.
They can hear and comprehend at a level several years ahead of their ability to read. We need only give them the raw materials to work with, and they will become fascinated with language, stories, and books as a natural outcome. Our program offers a small collection of outstanding books appropriate for children from infancy to age five. We discuss book selection and the importance of associating the spoken word with print and image in the development of a child's mind. Parents see for themselves how a love of reading is based on the pleasure associated with word play, image, narrative, rhythm, and rhyme.
