Dame Jacqueline Wilson – Award winning children’s author, explains the importance of reading for children
“I don’t think anything can beat the joys of reading. Every time you pick up a book you step straight into a new and magical world. You can find out what it’s like to be rich and famous, you can climb mountains, cross vast deserts, experience war, fly to the moon, fall passionately in love – all from the comfort of your own armchair! I think it’s especially important to read aloud to our children and get them hooked on the reading habit too. Books enrich a child’s imagination, increase their vocabulary - and provide endless hours of pleasure”
