My Pre-K inner city artists are as enthusiastic about books as they are about paint and glitter. Most of my students do not have books at home so these books open up a new world of wonder. Often a student will excitedly show me a picture and point out that relates to the current project or art that is on the wall. They will find an animal we have drawn, talk about the different colors of fruit Cezanne has painted or find primary colors in an illustration.
I want children to read for pleasure. It is a painless way to build vocabulary, increase understanding and expand their world. A child who reads for fun will do better in every subject in school...even those pesky word problems in math.
