An Open Letter to Moms who Read
Dear Reader,
This Mother’s Day, we’d like to take a moment to thank you for reading to your child. By teaching them to value reading, you’re planting and nurturing a reading seed that will flourish over the years, giving your child a lifelong love of books. This is truly something to be proud of, and something for which the staff at Read Aloud would like to express our gratitude. By creating a positive relationship with reading, you’re raising a child who can and will pass that passion for books on to others, who will in turn pass it on. Your one reading seed could spread to impact thousands of people!
So this Mother’s Day, congratulate yourself for every story you’ve read, every library trip you’ve made, every book you’ve bought – you’re changing the world, one page at a time.
Thank you for all that you do for literacy in WV, and happy Mother’s Day!
Sincerely,
Read Aloud West Virginia
