Why Are Picture Books Useful in Developing a Love for Reading in Children? |
Using works that are suitable, rhythmic for children's first reading and full of rhythm, we read together with the children in a playful way, from the “shape game” of art to the “shape game” of the mind, connecting reading and life, and connecting us to ourselves and even to the world. |
