Hooked on books
• I’M a mother of five and I agree with Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen that one of the most important things a child can have in life is a love of reading (Laureate urges more fun kids’ books, July 6).
If a child can get caught up in just one book then that is something that will stay with them their entire life. It is also an absolutely essential skill but one that an early love of books will ensure is not a chore to acquire.
That’s why it’s great that libraries this summer will be holding the Big Wild Read, challenging children to read as much as they can. There will be arts, crafts, theatre and a chance for children to write their own book.
I would urge any parent who is looking for something for young children to do this summer to go along to their local library. Not only are their books and activities but you can rent DVDs and even computer games.
