by Kathryn Felton (Author)
Kathryn has been a math and science teacher for many years. She also taught choirs and worked with several State of Florida programs as an advocate in the area of child abuse and neglect. She has served on the board for a children's museum and was a founding board member of the Tampa Museum of Fine Arts. These are the thoughts that she wishes to pass on to her children, grandchildren, and all of the children on the planet. According to Heidi Flatin, MD, reading aloud to your children says, "I love you!" Read slowly, be expressive, throw in your own sound effects. Talk about the pictures, show the words and stop periodically to ask questions. See what your child thinks and give your ideas on the topic. This habit should be instilled with your children at a very early age. It is unbelievable what actually will sink in. It certainly helps the bonding and sharing time with your children and does so better than sitting in front of a television or computer. Also, you can throw in a few phonics lessons. My daughter has been reading daily with her twins from the time they were a few months old until today. The memories and lessons, that build so early, are amazing. My Mother did this with me and I still recall those early impressions. Peter Rabbit stories actually taught me a lot. Do not let the early days pass by without sharing your favorite books. Hopefully, this book will open the door for you to share many of your own special thoughts with your children.
