Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted every Friday by Rose City Reader where you share the first sentence (or couple of sentences) from your current read. The Friday 56 is also hosted every Friday by Frida's Voice where you share a sentence or two from page 56 or 56% into your current read.
The Book Blogger Hop was created by Jennifer @ Crazy-For-Books in March 2010 and moved to Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer in February 2013. Each week starting on Friday there will be a prompt featuring a book-related question with the purpose is to give bloggers a chance to follow other blogs, learn about new books, befriend other bloggers, and receive new followers to your own blog.
This week's prompt, submitted by Julie @ Stepping Stones Book Reviews, is:
How young do you think children should be when they start reading?
I think the key is to get children aware of and interested in books as soon as possible. My nephew is 1 and a half and loves a book. Obviously, he can't read himself, but he will bring books to whoever is with him requesting to be read to (multiple in a row). He even sometimes sits with a book turning the pages and babbling away to himself making up his own stories. I'm actually not sure what age kids really start reading at (guessing around pre-school age).
Feel free to leave a comment.
I agree and think children should be exposed to books from birth, reading to and with your child(ren) is such an enjoyable thing to do. When they read independently will vary hugely from child to child, so there really isn't a correct age for that.
ReplyDeleteI think a lot of us are in agreement that exposing children early is a good thing.
DeleteThey definitely need to be started young.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this week!
Yeah, I think they should be introduced early but are free to take it at their own pace.
DeleteNow I want to know more! Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteIt was an interesting read.
DeleteThe cover is pulling me in as well as the snippet

It was the cover that drew me in. It's just beautiful.
DeleteI think that parents should start reading to their children almost from birth. They will learn to trust their parents, gain words, and feel comfortable with books as a form of information. My Friday Quotes post
ReplyDeleteI agree! Introduce early, then children can decide their own pace.
DeleteYour book sounds like a good one, and I appreciate your answer for the BBH. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt was good, not my favourite, but enjoyable nonetheless.
DeleteGreat excerpts and a nice cover, too.
ReplyDeleteThe cover is just gorgeous!
DeleteIt's never too early to expose children to books.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
DeleteI agree, children should have books read to them early. Then when they are able to read themselves they will hopefully enjoy reading.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think introducing them early then letting them decide their own pace is a good way to go about it.
DeleteThose excerpts have me curious for more. Thanks for sharing! Hope you have a great weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such an interesting read.
DeleteI think that the more—and earlier—kids are read to, the earlier and easier they will learn to read. I have my Dad to thank for my love of books, just as he has my Nanna to thank for his. :)
ReplyDeleteMy take is here— https://fiftytwo.blog/2021/09/02/book-blogger-hop-when-should-kids-start-reading/
I actually don't know who I have to thank for my love of books. I can't remember my parents ever reading to me, but they must have done because they read to my nephew.
