Read! Read! Read!
Reading opens the world to us, stretches our imagination, kindles our knowledge and takes us far outside and deep inside ourselves. Reading takes us places we could never visit in person and introduces us to people we would never meet. If you read, you have the world at your finger tips. By reading you can find instructions for how to do almost anything. The Internet has opened the great libraries of the world to us. We can sit at our kitchen table and read newspapers from the four corners of the earth. We can track our ancestors or learn to bake an apple pie. Reading opens new opportunities for conversation and to share what we have read. Read aloud to a child, a friend or a loved one. Both of you will grow from the experience. My wife reads aloud to me every day. It is a wonderful sharing experience.
