It takes 1000 hours of “lap-time” for young children to have the readiness skills in place to learn to read.
--National Institute for Children’s Health and Development
“Lap time” means one-on-one interaction between a parent or caregiver and a child where meaningful language
interactions take place. Types of "lap-time” activities include: talking,
singing, rhyming, chanting and, of course reading.
If we begin at birth, children who receive 1/2 hour a day of lap-time will have the developmental skills they need to read
when they come to kindergarten.
If we wait until they are two to three years old, it will take an hour a day of lap-time to prepare children with the
readiness skills they need to read.If we wait until they are four years old, it will take two hours a day of lap-time to prepare children with the readiness skills
they need to read.If we wait until they are five years old and entering
kindergarten, it will take three hours a day of lap-time to catch these children up with their peers in order
to be ready to read.

If I Could…..I would teach each child to be positive, to
smile to love and be loved.
I would teach each child to take time to observe some miracle of nature-the song of a bird, the beauty of a snowflake, the orange glow of the
winter sunsetI would teach each child to feel warmly about the peers for whom the task of learning does not
come easily.I would teach child that it is o.k. to show their
feelings by laughing, crying or talking with someone they care about.
Every day I would have each child feel special, and through my actions, each one would know
how much I really care.Unknown
Childhood Should be a Journey
Not a race………..
