My Project
A love for reading is something that has to be fostered and nurtured. Proper book care is something that has to be taught. Both of these things can be done with board books.
Board books are a great way to foster a love of reading and learning as well as teach proper book etiquette.
They are also durable, engaging for young students, and help build essential skills for future reading success. Board books are also a great tool for developing fine motor skills, turning the pages of a board book helps develop fine motor skills, crucial for later writing and manipulation. Board books are also a great way to introduce pattern recognition and expand their vocabulary by hearing new words in context.
At the moment my school library only has a handful of board books. This is an area within the library I would like to add to because I want my students to have every opportunity they can get to explore books and develop a lifelong love for reading and learning.
