•  Children learn when we read with them

•  Reading time is a time when I am held and loved.

•  Every time we read I hear how words are used, listen to rich language, and learn new words.

• Things come in different colors, sizes and shapes.

• It’s fun to play with language, and explore rhythm, rhyme and humor.
