Learning to read and write early on promotes strong self esteem and independence. When I taught 1st grade, those children who hadn’t a clue were always frustrated that they couldn’t read directions, pick out their own stories, etc… I would be thrilled to win!
It is so important for the development of language and socialization…
Growing up I loved reading and attribute that to helping me in so many areas in my life- I want to give that same advantage to my little guy- Thanks so much for the great giveaway! audrajjensen(at)msn(dot)com
I have been reading to my 2 year old every day, and he loves books and knows all his letters now. It has to start early!
I work on reading and writing with my daughter who will be starting kindergarten because I enjoy watching her learn new things and knowing that I’m able to show her and teach her is very rewarding. I think all children benefit from this attention I know my daughter will be starting kindergarten with a confidence about her reading and writing abilities and I think that she’ll grow even more! Now I have my son to start working with! Thanks for the entry
I think it’s so important! I remember reading about a study several years back that a child’s intelligence and reading skills ran parallel to the amount of books available in the home. I use that as my excuse to keep bringing home books for us all to read!
I think reading excersises their brain and makes learning everything else easier.
Reading opens up new worlds to kids!
Reading affects the rest of your life. Children need to start reading early; and love to read. This starts with parents reading to their kids - a lot!
would love this for my son,reading is fun&great for everyone! ahdrad2932(at)msn(dot)com
Young children absorb this information and are more eager to learn than when they are older.
It,s important because reading is a fundamental that everyone uses.
My husband and I are both the types who LOVE reading and do it constantly. We both learned to read at an early age and we think it helped us quite a bit. We want the same for our kids.
Reading helps the kiddies really understand the world and gives them such a sense of accomplishment - like they have finally entered mommy and daddy’s world!
I would love to have this for my baby shelf for when my grandson is older.
Have a bloggy day
My baby needs this!
I would love to check this out and see how my little one reacts to it. Thanks for the giveaway
I believe Olivia’s education is my responsibility as a parent. I want her to have every chance I never had.

Neat idea! Would love to give it a whirl with my son!
I think it’s the foundation for a great education. It teaches them the fundamentals of learning at a young age.
I would love to try this! My son’s friend can read already and he’s only three!
I’d love to win this.

I think if you can instill the love of learning early and make it fun - you’ll have a learner for life!
It’s important because learning to read and write allows a child to develop animagination, and it encourages curiosity about the world around them. It is the first essential step in the process of their education.

I is so important in how children develop the art of speaking. Thanks for the contest
The sooner they can read, the sooner they can become independent thinkers!
sounds good
I think reading with children is important for several reasons. It helps develop their cognitive abilities, helps develop their language skills and it is just good, old fashion time spent together. It helps develop a rapport with your kids from an early age and gives you an activity in common. Reading to and with your kids is a very important family activity on many levels.
Would love to try this with our newest little one.
I think the earlier they start reading the easier it is for them…kids tend to learn quickly at a young age!
We started reading with both our daughters in the womb. The youngest is 1 and loves “buuks”!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Reading and writing at an early age helps children develop in other areas as well. Plus the reading itself opens up their minds to new ideas, and writing helps them express themselves.
My husband and I love to read so I hope that my son does as well. Its a great way to spend those winter days indoor.
I am an avid reader and, as a new mom, I want to pass that love of reading down on to my son. I was a good student and I strongly believe that it is because I could read at an early age. I want to give my son every advantage to start him on the right path academically.
I’d like to try this with my son thanks for the chance to win it.
