<p style="text-align: justify;">Studies have shown that when children are exposed to reading from as early an age as possible, they establish an essential foundation for their future literacy. I have fond memories as a child, of my mother reading to me before bedtime. I had a large library of books from Dr. Seuss, Golden books, etc. that adorned the bookshelves on my wall.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Our local library, <a href="http://www.epl.ca" target="_blank">Edmonton Public Library</a>, developed a wonderful booklet titled <a href="http://www.epl.ca/sites/default/files/EPL-100_Books_Booklet-JN10.pdf" target="_blank">100 Great Books To Read Together</a>.This small booklet distributed for free at all chapters of the Edmonton Public Library system is a beautiful list of 100 great books you can read with your child at different stages of his or her development.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This booklet is available as a free download from the library&#8217;s website, and I have also made it available here on Practical Homeschooling. Please feel free to download and use this list with your children as a resource for great books to read together. <a href="http://www.epl.ca/" target="_blank">EPL</a> has <a href="http://www.epl.ca/interests/preschool" target="_blank">many other resources</a> for preschoolers and young babies available on its website.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Which of these books have you read with your children?</p>
