Books
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
I am here in Singapore since year 1996, if you do not know, I am actually from Malaysia. One of the things I like best is the public library that are almost at everywhere.
Since young, we have been bringing ZX to the library to borrow books and read them for him. I am glad that we did that as he is now having the habit of reading books and in fact, he asked to go for the library last few weeks since I was busy with baby.
I noticed he especially like books which has numbers on, eg. counting books with 1, 2, 3, from 1 to 100, etc.
I can still remember his first complete word (excluding mama and papa) was pronounced in the library when he pointed to an apple on the book, it was just like yesterday. Time really flies, and I hope little ZX will have the same reading habit cultivated as well.

I am sure with your effort in bringing both ZX and Little ZX to the library regularly, little ZX will surely love to read. What I have learnt about children is that in order to help them to love books is to continually expose them to lots of children's literature, regularly read to them on a daily basis and model the reading habit.
Hi Rachel, I agree with you totally that we need to always expose them to lots of books.
