Lesson 5

Reading Books

In observing my students over the years,

I’ve discovered that avid readers acquire

their love of reading at home, from their

parents. No teacher can pass along a

passion for books the way a loving mother

or father can. My best readers remember

cozy bedtime stories, sharing books with

friends and siblings, and the freedom and
encouragement to read whatever they

wanted to.
