Summer
if he could jump up an down -
- indoors or out. So I had
mentally prepared myself
for constant commotion in a
vibrating house after school
was over for the year.
I prayed that the summer
would be ram-less, and that
my patience would hold up.
But on Chris’ first day of
at:9:OOA.M
Owner
good time to encourage reading
is a
vacation the house was so
quiet I wondered if
something was wrong, and
tiptoed into his room. Sure
enough, there he was lying
on his bed. Not sick,
however. He was reading.
It turned out to be a very
rainy summer, which didn’t
matter a bit because Chris
had discovered the thrill of
reading on his own, and was
insatiable. When he couldn’t
whoop it up outdoors, he was
in his room engrossed in a
book. You wouldn’t believe
how quiet the house was.
In a scrapbook I still have
the record of the books he
read that summer, written in
his painstaking scrawl.
There were 46 of them. True,
none was a lengthy as War
and Peace, but the list was
impressive nevertheless.
As a writer and a lover of
language, perhaps I can take
some of the credit for Chns’
enduring passion for books.
We started reading together
long before he could walk,
and this continued to be a
favorite daily pastime even
after he could read himself.
Trips to the library were
routine. As tune went on we
collected books about art
and nature as well as
volumes of prose, poetry,
biography and history.
Eventually I introduced
him to Dickens, Hemingway,
Tolkem, Jack London, Will
James, all my favontes.
He’s since introduced me to
some of his. From the
beginning it’s been a two
way street with pleasure and
rich memories on both sides.
Child development
specialist Patricia Nelson
biehves there is probably no
more important activity
between parents and young
children than reading
together. Even babies can
enjoy looking at picture
books and hearing the
sounds and rhythms of
words.

Because reading as a
lifetime habit is so im
portant, parents should
select those first books
thoughtfully. They need not
be expensive, but they
should be honest and well
written, with quality
illustrations.
“Wholesome, good quality
nourishment is as important
for the mind as for the
body,” says Nelson.
Toddlers are at the center
of their small world, so they
love books about people they
can relate to - themselves,
their parents and friends.
They are just learning to use
words, so repetition, rhyme
and uncomplicated sen
tences help them grasp the
concept of language.

children have trouble
grasping life m a two-story
house in the suburbs. Not all
children live with two
parents. A black toddler
may not relate at all to
illustrations of white
children with blonde hair.
Fairy tales, however well
loved, may be too
stimulating, even
frightening, for very young
children who easily confuse
the real with the imaginary.
On the other hand, brief
stories about everyday
objects, people
and events are satisfying
and reassuring, and provide
a foundation for a later
appreciation of fantasy.

about oneself and about
other people are formed
early, reminds Nelson.
Parents should be sure books
are fair in their portrayal of
both sexes and different
racial and ethnic groups.
Even picture books for
babies can suggest
stereotypes.
Parents who are unsure
about choosing bocks will
find librarians very helpful.
They’ll also discover that the
more books they examine,
the more readily they’ll spot
those that are shoddy.
Reading is one of life’s
enduring delights. When
children learn to love books
early, that love affair will
likely be permanent. Just
askChns.
