Stories feel different when they happen again and again. ❤️ New research shows children enrolled in the Imagination Library are read to more regularly — creating a rhythm where stories become part of who they are. https://t.co/pREVRerWVn

(2/2) From dinosaurs, to history to imaginative fiction, these young readers got to select the books that excited them. Summer is a perfect time to get your child to a local library, bookstore or Books Are Wings Bookspot - and allow them to pick a book that interests them.

(1/2) We believe that book choice gets young readers excited about reading. At a recent Books at Recess event at Blackstone Valley Prep in Cumberland, students, ranging from Kindergarteners to 5th graders, were able to choose two books to take home and keep forever.
