A Visit from Dr. Seuss, Mem Fox, Esphyr Slobodkina and More!

One of the wonderful aspects of our campus school is the connection we have to our university. We have an extremely strong education program on the main campus - undergraduate and graduate - and so we are blessed in many ways with their talented students throughout the year. Dressed in costume from head to toe, Lipscomb University students came to several classes yesterday and shared stories as well as information about their notorious author. For those of you who still get goosebumps when you visit the children's section of the library like myself, you would have loved it. I know our students sure did.

For more information on the benefits of reading aloud to your child, click the following link - http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/07/02/07/reading-aloud-to-kids-the-12-benefits-of-reading-books-out-loud-to-children-of-all-ages.htm. It's well worth the time and offers a list of top recommendations for read-aloud books.

Take the opportunity to read to and with your child. By the looks on their faces yesterday(check out slideshow below), you're certain to have a willing and captive audience!

Shine bright,
