Children can learn to enjoy reading early in life by listening to storybooks read by parents or other caregivers. By participating in storybook reading, they learn a variety of literacy skills that prepare them for learning to read. For example, they begin to become familiar with typical story elements and with print concepts, such as directionality and how it works in our culture (reading from left to right, top to bottom). Yet one of the most heartfelt rewards when sharing reading with children is to see them begin to express their personal reactions and show their curiosity about things that are read to them (Green, Lilly, & Barrett, 2002). Having access to a variety of literacy experiences during childhood helps children begin to build interest in reading. For this reason, parents and educators should become role models and read to children to help them discover their love for reading (Moore, 2003).
