Quote of the Day

Dear Readers,

“Too many of our children cannot read. Reading is the building block, and it must be the foundation for education reform.”
- President George W. Bush (2001)

If we as parents will build a foundation of reading to our children before they are born (utero) and continue (beyond) to read to them on a consistant basis after they are born we will build a strong, solid foundation that will not have to be reformed. Continue to read to your children after they are born. More importantly, read to them even if they can read to themselves.

Start by establishing a regular routine of bedtime stories.
