Parents of young children know that babies, toddlers and preschoolers LOVE reading from a giant stack of books! Yet only 61% of parents with kids in this age range are reading aloud to their kids on a weekly basis. This is a troubling statistic! Studies show that kids who are read aloud to, and whose parents make reading a priority, tend to develop a lifelong love of reading and do better in school.

Do you read aloud to your kids? Does anyone read aloud to you? The benefits of reading aloud (and being read aloud to) are endless, and include stimulated imagination, language and listening skills, and a better understanding of the written word.

#Repost @oasisgirlmd ・・・ Emerging from its hiding place in the hills, the great Traction City is chasing a terrified little town across the wastelands. Soon London will feed. In the attack, Tom Natsworthy is flung from the speeding city with a murderous scar-faced girl. They must run for their lives through the wreckage―and face a terrifying new weapon that threatens the future of the world. Mortal Engines by Philip Reeve is the first book in the Predator Cities series. Because of how dynamic and exciting this read is, it's coming to screen December 2018. It covers an array of genres including fantasy, science fiction, steampunk. This is definitely one I'm looking forward to adding to my have read list of 2017. Another great release by Scholastic @scholasticcda ! . . . . . . . #mortalengines #scholastic #sciencefiction #adventure #fantasy #youngadult #fiction #bookstagram #bookstagramfeature #bookishfeatures #epicreads #yalit #instaread #instabook #steampunk #bookishgirl #bookish #bookaddict #bookworm #booklover #tbr #teenreads #bookstagrammer #scarfweather #winterishere #predatorcities
