Planting the Seeds of Learning

 

"Every child's taste is different. Don't worry if they're not reading 'War and Peace' at age 12. First, build a good foundation and a positive attitude about reading by letting them pick the stories they enjoy. Make friends with a bookseller or librarian. They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy." -- Rick Riordan
 



"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves."

      --- Ernest Dimnet
