As we turn the page on our calendars to start a brand new year we must teach our kids to love to turn the pages of a book. In making reading fun, educational and as natural as breathing the air around us, we teach our kids not only the skill of reading fluently with understanding but we instil a love of reading in them that will last an entire lifetime.
As guardians and parents it is essential that we pass the reading torch to the next generation. Make a vow (a New Year's resolution) this upcoming year to promote and celebrate books throughout your home... in every room, for every occasion, and just for the pure joy of sharing a good book and discussion with your child.
Here are the top 10 selling books for 2015 according to The New York Times. The stats are hot off the press and I know will be of interest to you. If you haven't read any of these books to your kids please make an effort to do so and celebrate 2016 in print, or digitally, or orally...whatever tickles your fancy...just story away together into eternity......
