Why We Read Aloud Every Morning
Ten unhurried minutes of stories at the start of the day, and what they do for a child's whole day.
Every room at Little Lantern begins the day the same way, with a story on the rug. It costs us ten minutes of the morning, and it repays us all day long.
Children who have been read to settle faster, listen better and use richer words at snack time. More importantly, the rug gives shy children a soft place to join the group, and it gives every child a shared story to carry into play.
