After reading the story of the Nutcracker to the class they enjoyed moving to the music and using the "bow wands".

Alexa???; yes their parents told me about technology that they use in their home..so… hummm….so what do I think about "reading" and how to instill the love of books in a young child...(without asking "Alexa")
We at Wee Wisdom Preschool believe children need to be held and cuddled by their parents or caregivers while stories are read aloud. This is essential for the child to have a close, warm feelings about books and language.
Children need access to and time for books This means that books must be plentiful and varied and that television, video, and other "techno" toys do not unduly compete for the child's attention.
We believe that reading is a process, a fluid dynamic process that carries the young child from respective language to expressive language, to reading, to writing. It is a long and complex journey, but a delightful one for the child who is relaxed and ready"
