We shouldn't teach great books;
we should teach a love of reading.
~ B. F. Skinner

The E’s of helping your child learn to love reading include Example, Exposure and Excitement. This workshop is full of ideas to help fuel your child’s love for literature and reading—whether that love is just a tiny spark or a blazing fire.  Some of these ideas include:  Library-palooza, Drop Everything and Read time, holiday literary traditions, tips for encouraging personal core classic study, Book Diva visits, and Book Club Parties. Some ideas are tried and true methods while others are unique and exciting, but all are designed to help children in each of the four phases to develop a love for books and reading.

“There are many little ways to enlarge your child’s world. Love of books is the best of all.”
~ Jacqueline Kennedy
