Why Birkbees visit the local library.
Reading itself is essential to a child’s success, but the role of libraries in a child’s development is also very important. Some people question how libraries impact children when technology is so readily available. The children at Birkbees are taken on a weekly rota to the local library to learn responsibilities of borrowing books and using the library.
One of the benefits of taking a child to the library is that you are establishing an example of being a good reader. Forming a close relationship with the library teaches a child that resources like books are easily available to them.The amount of time spent with books is crucial for a child’s reading achievements. Reading more books broadens a child’s vocabulary and language skills. The library plays a key role in developing literacy and the pleasure of reading, so it is the perfect place for thinking and learning.
