The Beautfiul Thing about Reading

Why is reading so wonderful.  I remember when I was a child and waited with great anticipation for my scholastic books to come in the mail. I would run to my room lay down on the bed and read all four of them within days.  What I liked best when I was a child is non –fiction. I loved learning anything I could about important and curious facts. I would often wonder what it would be like to travel to another country or live on a ship as pirates did or even as employees on the cruise liners of today do.

Reading s a beautiful thing because it takes us to places we have never been or places we yearn to go. We can snuggle up in front of a fire and read along as if we were actually there. Every time we read it our brains get smarter. As we expand our connections we become more creative and imaginative. Our greatest inventors were great readers. Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison. Albert Einstein.   More recently, creators of  of the microwave, the internet and so much more did so because of their talents and imagination to make the world a better place to live.

Reading is exercise for the brain that stimulates and causes us to learn and get excited about new information. Ever since I was a young child I have always loved reading. It is no wonder that I became a teacher offering classes in reading and writing..  I love everything about teaching. Reading is an adventure as the reader goes on the journey with the author. So reading is really a beautiful thing, and it  can be done virtually anywhere.  Read with your child, by yourself, read aloud, or share your talents by volunteering to be a storyteller just for fun in local schools. Children will thank-you for your time and dedication.

Reading is a beautiful thing so make sure you share this blog and keep reading ’Reading will give us an innovative, creative, and educated society. So yes reading is a beautiful thing.
