Books for Children

It’s become conventional wisdom that if you are a good parent and read to your baby everyday (from conception to the day they go to school) that they will learn to be brilliant readers. I don’t think so. You could just as easily put them off reading for ever. See more in our article Reading to Children - should you really do it?
