Between the Covers
1Every day more children discover a new world. 2How do they do this? 3They learn how to read.
4When children make that step from speaking to reading, they discover the magic of print. 5They don’t have to stay home anymore. 6They aren’t “just children” anymore. 7Time and space don’t limit them. 8Books let them travel to any place and to any time. 9They meet heroes from the past, or visit the mountains on the moon. 10When they’re lonely, they make new friends. 11When they’re bored, they explore new planets. 12If they want to, they even become new people or try out new life styles.
13Children enter an exciting world between the covers of books when they learn to read.
