Did you know March is National Reading Month? Did you also know March 2 is Dr. Seuss' birthday? It is the perfect time to remember the importance of growing our imaginations and learning to love READING.
When we read, we learn how other people think, feel and act. It helps us learn
EMPATHY and appreciate how important we are to one another.
Reading leads to all kinds of learning. It makes us imagine, wonder and
ASK QUESTIONS. If you always wonder and ask questions. You will never stop learning.
You will find yourself in books. When we read, we connect to the lives of others. We can travel to new places and explore new ideas. Through reading we become confident in ourselves and then we can share our gifts with the people around us.
