Connie Speaks To the Children (Click to View Larger)
According to the preschool set, MONSTERS ROCK!!! When a group of Reid Hospital physicians’ spouses were invited to bring their children to Morrisson-Reeves Library in Richmond, Indiana, for the morning, they created a monster craft, ate monster cupcakes, and listened to yours truly reading monster books.
Those who participated (and you, If you’ve found your way to this blog) wouldn’t be surprised to learn that when parents read to their preschoolers just 20 minutes a day, their children are more likely to succeed at reading when they head off to kindergarten. So spread the word: Tell all the grandparents, parents, and babysitters you know to read stop signs, street signs, menus, and notices posted in doctors’ offices. Tell them to check a million books out of the library. Tell them that even if they can’t read themselves they can turn the pages of a book or magazine and “read” the pictures.
Spread the word: Read to your preschooler for 20 minutes a day!
