Tribute to Dr Seuss

And Early Childhood Literacy Dr. Seuss, Read Across America and 25 words your toddler should know is a short tribute to Dr. Seuss and his lifetime work to encourage literacy in young children in fun and imaginative ways. More

Highlights:

A third of all parents believe other people, such as teachers, are the ones who affect their children’s learning the most. Teachers are important, but they can’t do it all themselves. I would add that the contribution of parents during a child's early years is far more important than suggested here, and that parents reading to their young children are the actual key to literacy. Parents help built the foundation, while teachers help build the house.

The American Academy of Pediatricians suggests parents instill a love for books and language from the very beginning by reading, rhyming, singing and talking with babies from birth. Children learn best through repetition and interaction with their parents.
