THE MORE YOU KNOW FOR KIDS
READING
"Want to time travel? You can go anywhere, do anything. Let yourself go into the pages...of a book." – Masi Oka, Heroes
What You Should Know...
| Have you ever wanted to go back to when dinosaurs were alive? Or see outer space? Or meet the animals that live in the jungle? Just pick up a book and you can do all of these things! | |
| Reading lets you use your imagination and learn about far away places and new kinds of people. It also teaches you about new words and objects that you may not have seen before. So every time you pick up a book, you can learn new things and have fun at the same time. | |
| Books come in all different shapes and sizes and they are all about different things. Some stories can be scary, others are serious, and some are just plain silly. Some books are made up of pictures, while others use words. Do you have any stories of your own? You can use pictures and words to create your own book! |
What You Can Do...
