Dinosaur Children’s Books Encourage Reading
When I was a kid I loved dinosaurs as you know. What you don’t know however, is that I had a considerable amount of trouble learning to read. No matter what anyone did to encourage me to read it simply posed too much difficulty and “starter” books held no interest for me. It took years for me to latch on to reading and as a result I am a huge advocate of teaching children to enjoy reading from an early age.For young dinosaur lovers dinosaur children’s books are a great way to do this.
