Children's Literacy Goes by the Book

Posted by Michael Milston on Aug 14, 2016

The Rotary Club of Wagga Wagga present each mother of a new-born child with a book to encourage them to read to their child. Studies have shown that the vocabulary in children’s books is three times richer than daily conversation.

Research quoted says “Books help build a child’s imagination, thinking, talking and listening skills. Children also get to explore colours, shapes and patterns in books, have fun pointing and patting pages, learn to turn pages and listen to sounds and rhythms of words, apart from enhancing useful bonding between parents and the child." If you are looking for an easy but hugely beneficial project give this some thought.
