 "There is more treasure in books than in all the 
pirates loot on Treasure Island"

The more that you read, the more things you will know.  
The more you learn the more places you'll go.

10 Reasons to Read to Your Child

1.  This attention lets them know you love them.
                   2.  Reading to them will encourage them to become readers.
           3.  It is fun for both children and adults, as many books
 have hidden surprises and puzzles.
   4.  Reading helps them become lifelong learners.  
The information & illustrations are entertaining as well as educational, 
giving children a love of learning.
5.  This is one way of passing on your values.
6.  Reading encourages your child's imagination to soar.
 7.  School & learning will be more satisfying for them, building their self-esteem.
Success in life will be easier for them to attain.
8.  For that short time, they will stay clean and quiet.
9.  Every teacher they encounter will appreciate it.
10. Your child will thank you!

----Nancy Ann & Tom Wartman, Usborne Books at Home----

These Guidelines are designed to encourage a safe and enjoyable learning experience for adults and children.
