The benefit of good books

We all take for granted that our children grow up talking like their parents. After all how else can they learn?

But isn't it funny how so often we forget the importance of good books as well.

Reading good books, copying down the descriptive phrases and hearing them read aloud will surely help our children to appreciate good writing and then go on to carry this lesson into their school work.

This doesn't need to be an expensive route. You need not pay for the latest Harry Potter in hard back. Second hand books are fine and don't be afraid to go back to some of the classics from the 19th century.
