There are numerous ways that books can teach. We discuss 5 such ways in these slides. Children are information sponges. What you offer to them in terms of audio, video, speech, text, and any other way that information finds it's way "in" has a significant impact on their thoughts, actions, and reality. Theo's Book Shelf encourages positive reading to and with children for fun and education. Child literacy is a passion for us, and we aim to tell you why in these and other slides. Enjoy!

6. 5. When your
constant reminders
are tuned out, there
is always a book
A book gives another
method to speak with
your child, even when
they have raised their
defences against you.
