Reading must never be turned into a chore. The way to ensure that kids regard reading as fun, relaxing, stress free and something you want to do more of, is to READ TO THEM, in exactly that way from birth. Show them how it is done!

I love books. I like that moment you open one and sink into it…escape from the world, into a story that’s way more interesting than yours will ever be. – Elizabeth Scott –
