As a mother and a teacher I know how important reading is to children -- early success in reading can carry a child through future challenges and early failure can cause a child to struggle throughout school.

One way to help your child succeed as a reader is to read to your child and with your child. Encourage reading at every opportunity. This means making books available to your child (visit the book store or library regularly) and taking time every day to read with your child or to your child.

Picking the right books for your child -- especially matching interests -- can help make your child a lifelong reader. Here we will share some of my son's favorites.

You have a lot of great books listed here. Great job! Reading is so important, so much more important that a PSP player or Wii.... kids today don't read enough in my opinion. Great lens. 5 stars!

May I recommend the Chronicles of Prydain (series of five books) by Lloyd Alexander? They are very good. The last one, The High King, was a Newberry Medal winner. Great for girls too.
