February Family Read Along

All children of all ages and stages like to be read to, for good reasons – the closeness of being with a person they love, enjoying pictures together, engaging with a story by listening or reading for someone else! Long ago, before there were books, people devoted hours telling each other stories of all kinds. Today, children develop their morals, good character, problem solving and an understanding of faith and the needs of others through books. William Kirkpatrick, author of Books that Build Character, says reading aloud may well be “one of the most important contributions parents can make toward developing good character in their children.”

Each Sunday school family is encouraged to read together books from our library during the month of February. Children may record the titles of books they’ve read or shared with their family on a special bookmark. At the end of the month there will be a book sharing party for all the children and families. Be sure to pick up your bookmark!
