We all know that children will mimic good behavior as well as the bad. Reading to your children is a wonderful family time memory that they will have for years. When you read, your children will tend to mimic that also. My three-year-old will hold a book (upside down, of course), and read to her dolls. Children who are readers have higher IQs, and young adults do better on ACTs and SATs than non-readers. The vocabulary used becomes second-nature.
Why, just today my three-year-old was acting out, giving all of us a hard time. I looked her in the eye and said, "Honey, you're being nonsensical." And she said, "Sorry, momma." Kids can learn anything you throw at them. READ!
