A
Book On Every Bed

Start
a lifelong holiday tradition! Here's what to do:
·
Select a book: it can
be new, donated, or handed down from previous generations
·
Wrap it: a gift carefully wrapped holds
the mystery of what story or adventure is waiting to be discovered
·
Place the book near your child's bed: It will
be the first thing he or she sees on the morning of your holiday
Here
are some benefits of creating this tradition:
·
Children will look forward to this each year and
they will grow their own library!
·
It can help foster a life-long love of reading.
·
You can help create strong positive memories for
your child by reading the book with him or her.
·
By reading with your child, you help build
language and literacy skills.
