A love of reading starts with a love of stories. Young children (pre-reading), love hearing the story. Many children love hearing fictional stories. Many children love hearing facts from books….information on dinosaurs or trains or whatever their interest in. The love hearing the words. The love hearing what happens next (fact or fiction).
When children learn to read, finding books that they will love is so important because the more interested in the subject, the more interested they are in reading. Children’s books combine words and pictures to draw children in. Parents, teachers and older siblings read stories aloud to draw young readers in. The more ways we can present books to children, the more ways for them to fall in love with reading.
I recently discovered Mr MC Grammar on social media and I’m obsessed because he presents children’s books in a whole new way to draw young children into the stories. Mr MC Grammar makes reading fun through music and rap. He raps some of our favorite children’s books while showing the illustrations and words on the page.
Children’s books often have a certain cadence to them that adapts well to music and rap. What Mr MC Grammar does is brilliant and another fabulous way to introduce children to books. Be sure to check out him out on social media.
